Rush made a point the other day that I hadn't thought about ,as he often does, the picture is just crisper and better on Fox News.CNN and MSNBC don't have the crispness of picture.I'll watch Scarborough and Hardball(I have a crush on Peggy Noonan!) long enough to get sick of looking at a bad picture,then it goes back to Fox News.

I remember Don Imus talking about some sort of technology that has been around for a long time that is built into the studio setup that smudges skin tones, which Imus said, "...makes wrinkled old bastards look younger". Bernie and I believe MSNBC turns it off during his program. LOL

You mean soft focus? That's been around forever. It's literally just a slight blurring of the image to take the edge off. (Unfortunately, it tends to make everything else in the picture look like some gauzy fabric has been draped over the camera lens. Of course, contemporary digital technology helps make it less noticeable.) If you want to see it in action, watch ANYTHING anchored by Barbara Walters.
