Nearly two years after Greta Van Susteren defected from CNN to archrival Fox News, she has plenty to say about her former employer -- and not much good.

I guess the fact that they're a bunch of america-hating Clintonian throne-sniffers never registered on her radar screen.

I've always liked Greta even when she worked for CNN. I'm glad she went to FOX.

Poor Greta, I have a hard time watching her for more than 5 minutes at a time with her talking out of the side of her face.

People need to be happy with the face God gave them and not mess with it.

The problems at CNN, she said, started when parent company Time Warner merged with AOL and laid off employees

That was about the time AOL stock began its descent from 90 to 10.

She was interviewed this morning on the WRKO (Boston) morning show and she related the story of her phone call from OJ right after he was acquitted. She was on the phone with him for an hour when she realized that she was going to be late picking up her husband at the airport. She told OJ that she had to interrupt the conversation to give her husband a call, otherwise he'd kill her. As the words were passing her lips she realized that she'd made a bit of a gaff. Apparently no real comment from OJ.

Heard Laurie Dhue take a subtle swipe at former employer CNN the other day, too.

That woman could make me write bad checks.

"The folks at CNN may deny they're concerned about ratings, that they're above competition and focused solely on great journalism, but that's hard to believe when they spend $15 million to build Paula Zahn a new set!"

Pretty sound logic there, for a Scientologist.

[Charlie OK]

Van Susteren admits to poring over ratings information daily, and she derides CNN executives' claims that they don't focus on the numbers.

"It's as transparent as a kid who can't dribble a basketball and pouts, 'Basketball is dumb!' " Van Susteren writes.

*snicker*

[Diddle E. Squat]

"If Roger Ailes left, that would be disturbing to the company."

Quite a scary thought, considering that most of the rest of Fox broadcasting is total garbage.

[Always Right]

Unlike Bill O'Reilly or other commentators on Fox, Van Susteren doesn't espouse strong conservative views on air.

LOL....that's because she doesn't have any. During the Bush-Gore fiasco, Greta was siding with Gore eventhough many times Gore side had poor legal arguements.

Asked if Fox has any vulnerabilities in the ratings battle with CNN, she added, "If Roger Ailes left, that would be disturbing to the company."

Hmmm. "If you were to hit us right here, that would do the most damage . . .".
