I can't take it anymore! I'm cracking up!

We've got all hell breaking loose in Iraq and the Mideast. We've got the Dems in the Senate for the first time in history denying a bipartisan majority of senators their right to vote on judicial nominees.

You've got commentators saying the President should be "Hanged." Presidential candidates calling the President a "Gang Leader." Terrorists are threatening to blow us up just about every day. Environmentalists are threatening to blow us up if we keep driving our cars. PETA is threatening to blow us up if we keep eating meat.

Linda Vester is one of the smartest women in Television and what do they have her doing? They've got her talking to some grandma about how she feels about Scott Peterson.

Enough with the Talk Back Live/Dayside Garbage! Its trash! I want good solid political debate. I don't want to know what Ed from Sacramento thinks about Scott Peterson's facial expressions.

Hannity and Colmes has started a bad habit of beginning their show with Scott/Laci Peterson and calling it their "Top Story." Thats not a top story.

Soldiers being attacked or attacking is a top story. bin laden or Saddam being captured is a top story. People must still be watching or they wouldn't be showing this awful crap!

I want good political debate. As much as I detest it, I would much rather hear Hannity debating with Liberals rather than Scott/Laci/Kobe/.

I've told this story I'm about to tell before, but I'll tell it again for the sake of this commentary. One night I went to bed with the TV on. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear someone screaming.

I quickly looked up and around only to see that it was Rita Cosby screaming at this newspaper editor on TV.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" she screeched!

"THIS IS CENSORSHIP! ARE YOU CRAZY" she screamed!

The story goes that a newspaper editor in Colorado got so many complaints about the over coverage of Scott/Laci/Kobe that he ordered a blackout of the story in his newspaper.

Rita had the owner of the paper on as well at the same time she had on the Newspaper Editor. The Editor was sitting next to Rita, and the owner of the paper was LIVE via satellite.

The owner said that he disagreed with the decision not to cover the Peterson case and Kobe Bryant but that he deliberatly left these decisions up to his editors.

Rita attempted to get the Owner to then fire the editor on the air.

"I THINK SOME CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE AT YOUR PAPER SIR! THIS IS CENSORSHIP! YOU NEED TO GET SOME NEW EDITORS!" Rita yelled.

"WILL YOU BE FIRING HIM?" Rita asked.

The owner replied that he didn't think termination was neccessary and repeated that he disagreed with the decision but that he lets the editors make all the decisions.

"THATS RIDICULOUS!" Rita yelled.

If we get enough people to complain about this we can get this coverage stopped. Imagine how wonderful it would be if Foxnews were to order a complete blackout on this story just like the Newspaper Editor in Colorado did.

Rita Cosby would be looking for a new job!

We've got the numbers in order to influence them. I'm pretty sure O"Reilly is sick of the Laci Peterson stuff as well. When he tosses to Hannity and Colmes he has to say whats coming up on their show.

He usually shakes his head and says "Laci Peterson Again..." with a smirk on his face

Lets make this an ongoing campaign. Boycott Scott Peterson, Laci Peterson, and Kobe Bryant!!!

Greta can have her little legal discussions but keep them ON The Record and Off shows like Hannity and Colmes and Dayside!

Rita's sources tell me we're all WRONG!!!

You mean her secret, special, inside sources who shall remain nameless even if Rita has to go to jail to protect them?

I have the PERFECT idea for you. Yes Yes!

You need to call one of these radical animal organizations....or even the police.

Let them know that you think your neighbor is hoarding animals. When they come to inspect...that should send a message!

The dog came back though. Cramer and Newman went to jail because Newman damaged the Rental car.

I was thinking last night I would like FOXNEWS better if they replaced all of their 8-10 people with agents from the Matrix that would interview Democrats. "Miiister Sharrpton... Weee've misssed youu..." Now that would bring in the ratings.

Take a pill, a good one. And can you recommend one for me?

FoxNews lurkers, please consider. Times I've traveled and all that;s on hotel TV is CNN. Can't watch it two minutes. Then , aha, at the bar downstairs there's FoxNews. Don't usually pay premium for a nightcap but hey, CNN is unwatchable. Get a draft and sit down to? the dead muskrat Greta and her wig-wearing-wits talking about Kobe Bryant and Scott Peterson. Okay Kobe could be victim of gold-digger could be athelete with godlike ego, some play there, but actually I don't care. Scott Peterson could be lying or he could be overplaying an act, but he's still the perp dead-on, short of 12 lobotomized jurists. Don't wanna hear about Satanic possibilities or nuthin else cept his execution date.
Fox - you've been lucky, courting conservatives when the liberals went for remedial reeducation for retard wanderers. But your formula is repeatable by others who may not be so stricken by all of this Kobe/Peterson crap.You can be had. You are beginning to squeal the chalk on these stories and it is a grating irritation.

I don't like the Rita bashing. I have talked to her before on the phone and she wants to help get me a FNC internship. She is a very nice woman, even if she does have a tabloid streak.

No one has said Rita isn't "nice" on a personal level.

It's her schlocky style of journalism that is being criticized.

But your tendency to defend those who are in a position to do you a personal favor will serve you well in the professional world!

More specifically, her coverage of the Florida situation was just plain wrong. Her reference to her sources is too much sometimes....that should be reserved for serious stories that require the public knowing people beyond just the person you call at the front desk actually told you something off the record. She can be tabloidy like many others on FNC.

That said, I remember seeing some coverage of her's during the Iraq war that was outstanding. She is not perfect.

"Take a deep breathe and switch over to Comedy Central or TLC. You need a break."

Yup. I switched over to TLC the minute I saw H&C start with this crap. I've been watching stories about Noah's Flood and The Search For Atlantis...A couple of my favorites on TLC.

LOL! Instead of that how about giving Neil Cavuto a 2 hour prime time show that will replace Greta and the hour after her that reruns O'Reilly.
