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

I'll never understand why the holidays are the PITS for every channel, not all of us are out partying!

Simple: All of them ARE.

Time to call in the air strike. I just got the dvd redux version for Christmas. My all time favorite movie. Col. Kurtz knew how to win the war, FNC is heading for a land mine. I have found some new channels on my tv since Geraldo came on.

"Would you really want a network that had only conservatives on it? That wouldn't be very realistic, not for information and certainly not for attracting a broad audience! Especially when their mantra is "fair and balanced"!"

Fox was doing just fine. They had enough liberal guests and really was the only station that presented a conservative response.

I never got the feeling that they were all conservative in the way they presented their news.

They WERE fair and balanced and that's all we asked. We are not demanding a conservative news network. We just want to hear both sides and we will decide what to think!!

Time to email Fox. This is nausiating...BARF !!!!!!!

At least he's consistent when it comes to First Amendment issues; he believed the high school kid had a right to display his patriotic posters. Also he's always very polite, and he and Sean genuinely like each other as people.

In fact, I was on Alan's side against Sean and the (liberal) mayor Marc Morial of New Orleans about intrusive airport measures, like x-ray cameras that could see through clothing. I was appalled that Sean thought this would be OK and the stupid mayor said anything was OK as long as it was applied evenly.

I said it before, it speaks volumes that Roger Ailes doesn't understand the difference, and is the/an idiot. FCS

I usually watch Fox muted -- just to read the crawl. Too bad there isn't a way to blank the screen and leave the crawl...

[GussiedUp]

When they hire Carville then we know it's over...

ROFLMAO - OMG - They can call it "The Snake Hour"

Cello Petronski!

I'm still laughing... Chow Baby!

What I know about Scientology, or shall I say what I beleive about Scientology is that it is a cult that sucks people's bank accounts dry and sues and harasses anyone who dares disagree with them.

They are taking a whole town over in Clearwater, FL I hear!

I have never been a fan of Greta Van Cesspool, but FOX needs someone to replace that airhead - Juliet Huddy.

BTW Greta's lawyer husband is a big buddy of scumbag, so don't look for too much improvement.

I like the way you think. My first reaction to this news was to be very upset and boycott Fox when GVS is on, but I think I will enjoy watching her try to debate conservatives in a forum where conservatives are given a fair shake.

What's your point? I don't know why you posted her picture to me. I don't care what she looks like. I care about her world view, her character, her knowledge of and love for the truth.

As a reporter, I care about her objectivity and accuracy. I couldn't care less about what she looks like.

Excellent--as long as people don't get it confused with Nigel on the Discovery Channel...

Thank you, Alnick.

It's helpful to consider other perspectives when strange things happen. With this one, it's really really fun to imagine the agony CNN muckety mucks must be experiencing. Just a short while ago, CNN announced it was bye bye for Roger Cossack, but Van Sustern was staying. Oops! Oh what a blow this must be to their corporate ego!!

[Capt_Hank]

Yeah.... but I could look at Juliet, all day long.
