What difference where on the political spectrum Greta and Geraldo's politics are? They got hired and work for Fox. (BTW, Greta's father was the campaign manager for Joe McCarthy.) If their tabloid style didn't suit Fox and garner ratings, they'd be gone--as well as Rita Cosby and some of the other tabloid reporters Fox has on staff.

"What difference where on the political spectrum Greta and Geraldo's politics are?"

You're right it makes no difference. But Fox's majority audience does not probably would not respond well to either Greta or Geraldo's brand of political idiocy. So since MJ, Scott peterson, and Kobe are still news. Which are carried by all the major cablenews channels. Fox is still obligated to cover it. They just prefer to pass it off on people like Greta and Geraldo. While still leaving their higher rated programs and the majority of their reporting to the important stuff.

So what exactly makes Fox so offensive to you in comparison to the other news outlets available to you????

Greta's dad was Joe McCarthy's campaign manager? That fact fascinates me. It may be the reason she does not come across to me as a flaming liberal. She is a direct person and smart and quick, characteristics I like. She may have learned from McCarthy's experience that the country does not always appreciate being told the truth about communism or it's derivatives and has moderated herself accordingly.
