It would really help if they would first hire reporters. BOR is a commentator so is Smith. H&C are not reporters but actually commentators no real news their either. Their show as well is a joke now. A NYC neocon vs a NYC Liberal? It's getting very old. Brit Hume is a reporter and a good one but needs to ditch the current format and actually report the news. Enough of Mort, Fred, Juan, and the other guys who's routines and comments everyone should now know by heart. The mandatory doses of Jerry {Snidely Whiplash} Rivero on every show Thursday-Sunday especially need to go. He's a tabloid has been and cheapens the network just by being there.

Bring back John Gibson and give him the Shep or BOR slot. Give one of their best actual reporters say Patty Brown an hour show. She could take H&C's slot and still keep ratings up as she actually can report the news in a professional manner so you can take her serious. Let her use the best part of FOX News which is their foreign correspondents. On that they are tops but do not utilize them near enough. Move some of the better of those to U.S. venues. Ditch the highly irritating non news Fox News alert and instead have the reporters just tell us. Get s news crew to cover after 10:00pm and weekends if CNN can do it so can FOX. Shorten the talking head shows and extend top of the hour and half hour news to 5-7 minutes to cover headlines etc.

Fox has plenty of reporters. But they are all out in the field. The people that Fox puts on screen are not reporters.

Some of your ideas are pretty good. But maximizing cable still limits the amount of facts that get out

Broadcast is (should be) our next step.
