Nothing about Brit Hume? Incredible, but not for the Times: They give us so many ways to understand the world that they don't have space to fit all the important news. I guess the world is just moving too fast out there for them to keep up.

Brit is the BEST news anchor on TV. He found a real home at Fox.

I guess I don't disagree with anything in this article, but what point is the author trying to make?

Am I just dense, or is it too early, or what?

New slogan for Fox News (borrowed from Jolt Cola): "All the info and twice the pizazz"

"Wendell Goler, a White House correspondent, reported yesterday morning about Mr. Bush's endorsement by New York firefighters on Wednesday, then noted that Mr. Kerry had won the support of their national organization."

The NYT objects to this statement? They can't stand that there is a news channel out there reporting BOTH sides.

They must REALLY have their panties in a wad after Bush hit them between the eyes in his speech.

No wonder the foxies were all jazzed during this convention.

During Boston it was necessary to send the nurse in to check the pulse of the speaker to be sure he/she was still alive.

Even slick willie failed to deliver....just more of the same old same old from the dems.

After President Bush spoke and the convention ended, CNN and MSNBC covered Mr. Kerry's midnight rebuttal speech live. Fox News stayed in Madison Square Garden.

I thought FOX went briefly to the Johns and then bumped back.

And didn't even MSNBC switch off the Johns after it appeared the Main John was drunk?

Gosh, what you can learn from reading the NYT. I never realized when watching Fox that I was in a "cozy duvet of rage." A duvet is a blanket, and the thought that by turning on Fox I blanket myself in rage is even more astonishing.

I found myself tuning away from FOX more and more. O'Reilly is an @$$, Shephard Smith is a bore, Hannity is stuck in junior high school and, though I like Brit Hume, his show is slow and uninspired.

They all seem to want to bring on liberals just so they can shout them down and they seemed more concerned with their own programs than they did with the convention. Usually, I cannot take Chris Matthews too long but his coverage was exceptional and though he still had his liberal talking points and MSNBC moved their set outside so they could get the liberal protestors on the air, he gave J.C. and others plenty of time to respond or make their own points. Scarborough was disappointing but all in all, when I tune in to watch the convention, I found MSNBC had the better coverage and since I am not the type to jump back and forth, I stayed with MSNBC.

Sorry FOX, I wanted to watch but... Hell, maybe it's just that every thing seems dark. The sets, the graphics, the demeanor of the show hosts... Maybe ya'll need to lighten up?

What kind of quiche-eating, Volvo driving, McGovern-channeling, quasi-Marxist, limousine liberal, elitist, prep-school alumni, uses phrases like "cozy duvet of rage"?

Self-parody anyone?

I'd prefer "comforting comforter of continuous common-sense conservatism."

"But madam, I too am a Catholic."

Weak punch line. Has nothing at all to do with Fox News.

We flipped channels between FoxNews and C-Span all week long. C-Span gave gavel-to-gavel coverage. Fox had excellent commentary. The former big 3 networks are in the tank. NBC will have to live off of its Olympics ratings.
