Now that is funny, just like the billboard that went up outside gore's HQ.

Lighten Up, Francis!
Fundraising posts only happen quarterly, and are gone as soon as we meet the goal. Help make it happen.

Not like that's a big deal - there's been a Fox News Channel billboard across from CNN Center for more than five years now.

Classless? Why? This is the United States of America and we should be thriving on competition. FoxNews is kicking CNN's liberal ass and why shouldn't they be proud of it?

My thoughts too - especially the way Paula broke contract rules when she jumped from FOX to CNN. I'd say it's a valid bit**-slap...

Remember this?

Ailes says about Zahn, "I could have put a dead raccoon on the air this year and got a better rating than last year."

That still crack me up.

I was down in 'Lanta a couple of months ago. Fox had the billboard up. It basically said something to the effect that we don't coddle dictators.

I think that this would have made a good billboard:

NO BLOOD FOR RATINGS: CNN let human beings be tortured and killed to keep their Baghdad bureau open.
