Did you just hear the breaking news about Natalee Holloway?

Might as well change their name to the Fox Milk Carton Channel...

That is what absolutely baffles me... who the heck is tuning into FNC/MSNBC to watch this junk, night after night after night...

Natalee Holloway - Case Discussion Extended Thread 15.

/don't hit abuse, you freaks.

I've watched in the last week alone a fascinating 3 minute interview with Ltc. Shaffer discussing Able Danger. Commercial. Back with info about Natalee or questioning whether Americans are overweight. FGS.

I saw that same - but ridiculously short - segment with Ltc. Shaffer discussing Able Danger. And tonight I saw the beginning of Hannity & Colmes... pretty good segment with Mary Matalin discussing Judge Roberts... yet too short again, IMO. Then, after the commercial, back to breathless coverage of no news about Natalee, then onto the new (!) mystery of some missing model in Ohio... :-(

I give up... I'm watching the Red Sox right now...

[nutmeg]

Oh... OK thanks. ;-)

Murdoch should really consider starting a Murder Mystery Channel or a Missing Persons Channel and return FNC back where it was, IMHO...

[nutmeg]

LOL ;-D

I actually e-mailed Fox News today.

Great letter! I e-mailed them a few weeks ago about the endless Natalee coverage... maybe I should send them a new round of e-mails. Perhaps if enough of us e-mail FNC we can help affect their coverage? Well, one can always hope...

in fact, quite interested in this case and that the original poster of this thread is a misleading idiot. Try a post on the Holloway story itself and you'd be fortunate to get 50 views. The reason that nobody is replying is because you are the only person on the planet who longs for Holloway stories and reads FR. There is nothing to debate, nothing to say.

You know what else has really bothered me about FNC? Their obsession with having a Republican and a Democrat on to talk about nearly every single issue all day long.

The other cable news shows don't do this, except at night.

For Fox, it's all about conflict. They decided long ago that conflict (ala the Jerry Springer sort of shows) sells. But there's little of value that comes out of such "discussions".

Hannity and Colmes lead-in story tonight (drum-roll everyone...)

Holloway story - (Boring...Boring...Boring)

I turned it off and went back to work.

You know that picture is fake, right?

Fox news "alerts" EVERYTHING, and I'm sick of nothing but Holloway and wind/rain. I want real news, and CNN and Fox ain't delivering, except for maybe Brit Hume and CNN headline.

You know that picture is fake, right?

I didn't! LOL! But it seemed so typical of Fox News how can I be blamed?

All the so-called news networks are on my S list. If I want to see what's happening around the world I go to:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Then I can investigate further what interests me. At this point I cannot expect a good unbiased news source. Thanks for the laugh.

I believe most emails 'go' only to the webmaster. The 'powers that be' probably never even know they have been sent. Wouldn't you imagine so?

[Burlem]

Most likely yes. Sure helps to vent though:)

I wonder if the webmaster gets enough protest e-mails would he\she report them.
