Fine. Just don't call it "Fox News Channel,"

After 40 continuous daily Anna Nicole Smith news alerts, I quit calling it Fox News Channel and more appropriately started referring to it as FoxTabliodTrash4News Channel. I also tuned out FoxNews in favor of CNN.

I usually turn on Fox&Friends to get the overnight headlines. Earlier this week, Fox&Friends spend nearly 30 minutes of continuous alerts and coverage of Lohan and her arrest(s).

I have begun to watch CNN more and more.

And FoxNews wonders why their viewership is dropping.

Fox and Friends has become unwatchable since DD left. They are under orders, I guess, to escalate jokey humor. Steve Doocy’s weather spots have become mostly chatter with the other anchors. I dropped the two-hour FF in favor of the one-hour Fox and Friends First. It’s just as bad, though. I running on habit for now. I really miss the Mancow days.

I find it incredible that anyone could choose CNN over Fox and still feel comfortable at FreeRepublic.

I find myself doing the same thing.

I sent FOX an email comparing their coverage of Lohan over a Cuban born American actress that grew up in Venezuela. She wanted to tell the truth of what was happening in those countries. It seemed they could not wait to get her off the air,compared to the drawn out commentary about Lohan.

I referred to their news as tabloid. I rarely watch news anymore, I get most of it from Rush and FR.

Since I'm in Phoenix, I record Fox and Friends from 4:00 to 6:00 and watch when I wake up. That means I can speed through the drunk/missing/raped/dead pretty girl stories.

Guess what? As I have breakfast, there's not enough of the show left for me to finish eating!

How I yearn for the days of Captain Kangaroo.
