[Silly]

No story yet (headline only with siren); will post it when Drudge does.

[xzins]

Didn't she do something for the OJ trial?

[July 4th]

Geraldo was a little disconcerting, however, I could tolerate some of his reporting. But Greta...what the he11 is going on here? It's nice to see a graduate of my school there, but honestly, she's an idiot. I have no idea what Roger Ailes is thinking.

[RikaStrom]

I think I am going to be ill. I loathe Greta.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I am losing faith in O'Reilly!

Didn't agree with him when he talked with Falwell!

[GraniteStateConservative]

Did anyone else notice that Steve Doocy was at Times Square on ABC's Rockin' Eve with Dick Clark? What's up with that?

[big'ol_freeper]

Someone pointed out recently that Greta Van Susteran looked like Brit Hume with long hair (same mouth and chin). Now that they will both be on Fox this may become confusing....

[Silly]

DRUDGE'S STORY SO FAR...

12:04:09 ET: CNN's second-highest rated host Greta van Sustren is jumping to rival FOX NEWS, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned exclusively.

The multiyear deal is expected to be signed today, according to sources around the legal star.

FOX NEWS President Roger Ailes is seriously considering running Greta on FOX directly opposite CNN's LARRY KING, say sources... MORE...

hmmmmmmmmmm sounds like a plan of cnn to kill fox ,they know if their people go there people will stop watching FOX

[wolfman]

Hey FOX.. I'm done with you. Period

[mwl1]

Send her back. We don't want her. Period.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

No f-ing way!

[RCW2001]

That does it!

The negotiations with my next door neighbor over the removal of three of his large red oaks so I can utilize satellite is over.

AT&T cable, with its lineup of cookie cutter news channels (minus FNC), will now be as sufficient as any other alternative.

[brewcrew]

I don't know, maybe we'll get a chance to hear what Greta really thinks now. I work for a major corporation, and I know that there are certain things I just won't say in a professional setting because my boss would go ballistic. It's called job security.

I'll give her a chance. I only trust three-quarters of what I see and half of what I hear anyhow.

[AGreatPer]

"She'll need a face job first."

That's what happens when you talk out of both sides of your mouth.

[NeoCaveman]

Why? Why? Why hire this obnoxious Clinton-loving monstrosity.

P.S. The above rant could also be applied to Whorealdo

[1 FELLOW FREEPER]

Just what we need...Greta "{NO SUSTENANCE).......where my Maalox be??

[Osinski]

Fox is merely big media as usual with a bit of conservative ranting to appeal to the non-liberals. ABC=NBC=ABC=CNN=FOX

[Victor]

Hopefully, the intent is to neutralize the lib left reporting.

Look what happened to Whorealdo....and he did it to himself, all by himself.

Maybe they'll send Von Greta to Iraq. Better yet, an exclusive Whitehouse job where she'll have to report on the glories of our 87% approval-rated President.

[VOA]

Oh brother...I try to AVOID seeing that wierdo on my TV...

Here, let me say it out loud for you...and I'm not putting words in your mouth
because this is what I'd say:
Oh brother...I try to AVOID seeing that wierdo Scientologist on my TV...

I hold to the traditional American right to have any sort of "faith", but
I also hold to the right to say out loud that Scientology, for the most part,
is just plain weird.
Even if Isaac Hayes, John Travolta, Tom Cruise and others partake of that "belief system".
(now donning asbestos-lined suit...)

[angkor]

Greta Van Sustern!?!?!?!?!

I thought she was an ambulance-chasing liberal lawyer turned 10th rate TV "journalist."

This has got to be a joke.
