Agree about the business shows and Cavuto. I DO watch Cal Thomas. He has interesting guests, not always political, and does wonderful interviews, and his Cal-toons are hilarious.
Lauren Green has class and her demeanor speaks for itself.
I watch Fox maybe 15 minutes a week, as I'm channel surfin'.
For me, THE BEST NEWS, and entertainment, is right here.
Thanx
I hadnt noticed her voice :)
Dear Mr. Ailes,
How about throwing a little eye candy in for us ladies? I mean, I love the Fox News guys, but a Mel Gibson look-alike would really be nice!
Thanks,
Lisa

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
I agree with the evaluations you offered, I do watch the business shows and I find them the "same as" the other business shows. (seriously if you are telling me about buying or selling a stock on a tv show then the information is too late to be of use.)
I strongly agree with your asessment of O'Reily and Fox and friends on weekdays. Rush would have been absolutly positivly perfect in that show.
O'Reily seems to have still lingering liberalism poison from his Haaaaavaaaaard years.
As for fox and friends, (the weekend show is leftist and a waste of time so I don't even bother) The blond woman should just sit there and be quiet. As for the guy with the blond highlights, it just looks waaaaaay to fake.
I really wish they would do something DIFFERENT than the same old goofyness that everyone else does. They MIGHT add a tiny little bit of conservative in their presentation but it is NOT ENOUGH.
The first thing they can do to improve Fox and Friends is to start it at 5:00 AM.
Why not just TELL THE PUBLIC WHAT THE DNC talking point fax is every day? Sometimes all the fox personalities seem to be holding back inside the beltway information. Are they now having coctails with the rest of the insiders?
as for an totally out there idea: How about handing controll of the crawl at the bottom of the screen over to the Freepers? I would just looooove to see running commentary happening during the show. Thus when OReily is being obtuse AGAIN, we can comment IMMEDIATLY for all to see on the screen. (no more "select" emails at the end.) Unfortunatly I don't think the tech is up for it.
I think I should give Marc Ginberg Fox news Middle East anaylist his own show
Concentrate on foreign news COME ON FOX NEWS you got that Sister station Sky news you could score some material from Tass Xinurea
COME ON
Give Amy Kellogg some air time only time i see her in Moscow in winter gear LOL! in those nice winter hats
I know winter is coming in Russia when she wearing those Bette Davis hats LOL!
What happened to Katherine Heritage with the turtlenecks and super short hair cut? She covered the sniper shootings back East. Haven't seen her for a long time.
Thanks for the ping!
I saw her other day on Fox news doing one of News breaks
I think for us West coast folks Fox news should put Brit Hume at later time like 10pm est 7pm pst us West coast can't Brit Hume until almost 9pm I be watching something us during that time
Hey Fox news less with celebrity trials put on best of Sky News that be cool
Sky news sometime kick everybody a** in their news gathering
Great ideas. I'm especially enamored of deep sixing BOR and Greta and her tabloid format! I LOVE Cavuto (Especially his weekday slot)...But the Saturday morning Cost of Freedom lineup is about 2 shows too many. I'd really like John Gibson to have a prime time slot.
Hmmm, only ONE other complaint about short, interrupted just-when it-gets-interesting interviews, for ENDLESS, CONSTANT comercials!
I emailed Foxnews that if they would campaign on MORE NEWS, LESS COMMERCIALS, they would STAY ON TOP, BIG TIME.
You would think being #1, would generate more money, so they could shorten sell time down and play that fact up.
Also, nobody has spoken about some of the new ones, like Uma Pemaraju? David Folk Thomas, (wierd name).
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
How could I forget to mention the runner-up Future Mrs. WKU Man (second to Salma Hayek), Allysin Camerota?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I like most of what Fox is doing now, but agree that John Gibson should be given a more major role. His show is great, but it's not even repeated again throughout the night. It's too good of a program to be shown at a time when many people aren't even home from work, or when others are eating or preparing dinner.
And Fox and Friends WEEKEND is a disaster. The only reason I even have it on is to hear the Fox news correspondents report their stories. But I don't like any of the three hosts of the program. They seem to clown around too much, and don't know how to segue from a frivilous story to one that's more serious.
But I do like business programming, and that shown on Fox is entertaining and highly informative.
