I'm not talking about Fox News Channel doing that half-hour thing.

Imagine your local Fox BROADCAST affiliate (not the cable news channel) airing a national news program opposite Rather, Brokaw, and Jennings.

Fox has shown it can compete with the networks in entertainment. It's whipped CNN and MSNBC going head-to-head.

If I were Terry McAuliffe, FOX announcing the "FOX Evening News with Brit Hume" airing on the broadcast network (not on cable systems) would be the ultimate nightmare. Their last media stronghold is the Big Three Networks that everyone watches. All FOX has to do is jump in.

I remember an old joke Reagan told. Two Russian generals are talking, and one of them says, "The arms race was a lot more fun when only one of us was running."

Ah, I see. I'm sorry, my misunderstanding.

Yes, it would be nice if FOX (as opposed to FNC) did do a half-hour hard news show - or even showed the first half hour of either Hume or Smith from FNC.

That's not a bad idea.
