Yea - what you said - - and they treat their celebrity guests like normal people. They don't fawn all over them.

E.D.'s pretty cute. This is kind of big news. You'd think at some point the Fox Juggernaut would have to stop and catch it's breath. But like the 3rd ID, it keeps rollin', rollin', rollin'. The liberal media is completely embarassed and flustered. They don't know how to deal with this. They have a fiduciary duty to their stockholders to follow the Fox model in order to maximize profits. But their "consciences" will not allow them to do so. They are therefore putting their own politics and their own tastes above their legal duties. Cf. Knopff turning down all of Ann Coluter's books, which of course are big money makers.

He was in Miami last night. Maybe he went to South Beach and didn't get enough sleep.

I love Fox and Friends. Would never watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN or MSNBC.

meaning that group of right-wing dimwits is more popular than group of left-wing dimwits. now, if we had some of our best on teevee and that show got good numbers, we'd be saying something.

O'Reilly says this war marked the death of network news, and it needed killing more than Hussein did.

The liberals lose more of their control over the sheeple every day.

Every one has to keep in mind, too, that Fox is still only on some cable systems. Many cable systems still refuse to carry it. And with that incomplete penetration, they're still posting huge numbers. What happens when they finally make it on to all cable systems?

I did not watch but perhaps five minutes of MSNBC and CNN/HNN during this entire conflict.

Who needs 'em?

Brian did a great job with the troops in Kuwait. I loved every report he did that week. I was crying and laughing at the same time.

MSNBC hasn't been that bad. You'd be surprised-- they are really rah-rahing it up. They're almost as in-your-face patriotic as Fox in some ways. I kind of discount it as a deliberate and cynical marketing ploy, but there you go.

There's a guy named Dr. Bob Arnot who is either conservative or is a liberal doing a good impression of an actual fair & balanced reporter. David Bloom was fair too, before he died.

LOL! This is a little off topic, but I went the ABC's web site & they are having a poll on what news you watch. When you get to the site, they ask if you will participate in a survey. When you answer Yes, the first question is did you watch ABC news on Wednesday night. I answered no & they asked what I watched. I responded FOX & the survey ended. It just said, thank you & asked no other questions. Funny!

I think they preempted in hopes of getting confirmation on the mobile weapons lab or that "too hot" to enter facility.
