Prediction: Lieberman will be "concerned" about the Saudis and make an effort to get some of the Jewisih vote back on the dem plantation.

I would like to add: FOX News has a competing program opposite CNN's Late Edition in the Denver market, and I presume most markets around the nation. It is opposite the CNN program and is a continuation of the FOX Sunday program, usually hosted by Tony Snow. Since CNN is cable, it is only fair to add the FNC program which is also only on cable.

FNC, FOX News Channel, also repeats their Sunday program in a later time slot, on cable. Here in Denver, it's at 4:00 PM.

[Alas Babylon!]

You're right and I usually watch that show as I wind up missing FNS (we're at Church in the local morning time slot). I have yet to find a place where the guests are listed, though. Also, I do try to watch FNS on it's repeat in the afternoon. I do not post times in the thread as these always vary from local market to market.

[mhking]

Is that "continuation" program only in the Denver market?
(i.e., on Fox 31 there as opposed to FNC)

[Alas Babylon!]

I don't think so, this show is on at the same time. Also, FNS is repeated at the same time, coast-to-coast, @ 6:00 Eastern, 5:00 Central, 4:00 mountain, and 3:00 Pacific.

[McGruff]

Brit Hume not letting Saudi foreign affairs adviser Adel al-Jubeir spin out of Yessir Arafarts turning down the offer made at the end of the Clinton administration.

Now bringing up saudis not wanting any women involved with their flights. Saudi denying this is true.

[Alas Babylon!]

Oh, let me add--the "continuation show" is on Fox News, not Fox Network--and the recast of FNS is on Fox News, not Fox Network.

[mhking]

Y'gotta love Brit Hume - he knows how to hold folks' feet to the fire and not let up.

[Unknown Freeper]

Two things...

What is the name of the "continuation show?" Is this show something other than Fox News Suday?

Does anyone else think that Trent is looking nervous/uncomfortable talking with Tony this morning on FNS? I don't mean regarding a specific topic but just from a general non-verbal communication perspective.

[Unknown Freeper]

oops Suday = Sunday

[Piquaboy]

I never watch the blathering idiots any longer. It is not good for my hypertension. I use to not miss them but they got so about all they had on were liberals or if a conservative was on, he was outnumbered. Steponallofus being on got to be really too much as he is so unbiased. Not!

[anniegetyourgun]

Amazing that Richard Neuhaus would be asked to appear on Meet the Press. It's not often the media cares to interview people of faith who can run logical circles around the host.

[not-alone]

Bibi I think Peres was wrong to allow Arafat back, UN coming in is a joke

[not-alone]

More Bibi Saudi Arabia should be not be taken with a grain of salt, but a grain of acid. They supported terrorist on the West coast of US.

[Morgan in Denver]

Anyone reading this thread can pretty much rely on what's been posted. FNC carries the other Snow program, not FOX Network. On the Fox web site, it's titled "America at War /w Tony Snow". They will sometimes have guests repeat as well and sometimes show partial interviews from the earlier program.

FNC does not seem to list the guests and maybe that's why it is not listed. I wish they would. Here, I have found it is better than CNN in quality and news. Wolf Blitzer is interesting sometimes, depending on the guest, but since FNC is opposite the CNN program it is more fun to watch. Frankly, as long as FNC continues to provide quality programs that are fair, I prefer it over CNN anytime.

[ex-Texan]

I used to watch these programs every Sunday. But I no longer waste my time. I gave up television news until about 6 months before the last Presidential election. I worked very hard to elect George W. Bush as President.

Never want to see Sam or Cokie or any other high-paid-idiot talkin' heads again. All U.S. major media are Democratic Party shills and network news shows reek of mind control and propaganda. All the pundits and all the national news readers use scripts generated by the DNC. Does anybody recall how certain key words and phrases leapt into the mouths of news readers early one Sunday morning?

Time to flush 'em all off the air. Funny but since I turned off television my house smells a lot cleaner.

[Rome2000]

The Miami fox affiliate doesn't even run Fox News Sunday. I have to catch it at night on the Fox News Channel.

What a joke.

[NYer]

Yes ... and he did an excellent job of it too!

[yikes]

Meet the Press was good today. I watched the whole show, because McCain and Lieberman were not on as guests. My 2cents: Bibi was outstanding. The first part of the show featured Catholic Church cardinals and priests. Father Newhouse (?sp) clearly wants to stay in the gray area where most demoncrats reside.
