More and more; I see faces that I gladly escaped from those other stations; it is annoying to turn on Fox and suddenly; there is the 'face'; and there are the same lies. . .
I rationalized, they needed a few to get started; they need them for 'balance'. . .they need to attract and re-educate their fans; who follow them.
But ENOUGH is ENOUGH already!
NO; NO; NO. . .to Chris Matthews!
As I mentioned and IMHO; they need to promote John Gibson up; and forget about bringing any more on board.
After all, the Dead Raccoon position has been open ever since Paula Zahn left for CNN, Matthews likely destination -- if not picked up by Air America.
If Fox is intent on driving its ratings down, Matthews would exceed expectations. However, it is doubtful Fox would be interested since Roger Ailes' rap on Matthews is that he never lets his guests finish their sentences. Add to that unprecedented rudeness (other than O'Reilly, that is), and Matthews would not seem to be a winning bet. If it happens, it is only because Peter Chernin or James Murdoch forced him on Ailes so as to fend off charges against Fox of being too conservative as portrayed in the film "Outfoxed."
Nevertheless, to put this in perspective, Fox should not be so thin skinned. No network tries as hard to present both points of view, including CNN -- Crossfire alone does not do it. For instance, can anyone name the resident conservatives on ABC, CBS or NBC that argue against the daily Democrat talking points posing as news? Does the MSM have anyone comparable to Fox's liberals: Colmes, Connolly, Clift, Corn, Estrich, Ferraro, Henican, Liasson, Ratner, Wallace, Williams, and sometimes Kondracke?
