Well if your article is truthfull, then why is Fox News Channel leading in all the cable news polls?
You just wished it would be that way....keep on wishing, your other hand will get fuller first!

Fox wouldn't suck so much if it wasn't all Natalee all the time. I have no idea how they plan to hang on to #1 like that.

Fox News has two good things left:
1) Brit Hume
2) Smoking, hot babes

Fox News is nothing more than the same tabloid sh!t that pervades all of Rupert Murdoch's media outlets.
The fact that it is "fair and balanced" in comparison to other cable news networks says more about the entire industry than it does about Fox News.

Ditto. Brit's show is the best anywhere.

It's the same with me. I still like Brit Hume's show, Media Watch, and the Beltway Boys but I infrequently watch BOR or H&C anymore.
To: Mike Bates
It's not that bad...geeeeeeeeeeeessshhhhh.

Agree. Along with the millions of hours spent on one when thousands are missing, they have started to hire the CNN left-wing crowd. And have started to be like CNN and go to the left. I can only think that the left-wing anti-Americans in New York City got to them and they are now being brought under the wing of the anti-American left. I watch only Brit and sometimes even his show is moving left.

yep FOX has really gone down hill.
All last night they ran reruns of the hurricane coverage from earlier in the day...
WTH is with that! One of the biggest stories of the century and a 24 hour news channel is running RERUNS !
I could start a news channel tomorrow and put all these putzes out of business.

Ratings for FOX just released and they were up HUGE, again. I guess the FACTS dispute the author's premise.

I usually just put on CNBC for the financials, etc. When I did put on the early Fox news, I was surprised how stupid and trivial the morning "anchors" and news sounded.

Time for FR to have it's own 24 hour conservative network.
It doesn't have to be all-news either, there'd be hunting shows, tips on firearm defense, spotlights on key issues such as SS and illegal immigration (bayourod could be one of the debaters ROFL) and interviews with FReepers.
To: Mike Bates
Yet the Fox news numbers continue to rise. The ratings actually showed that more people WANTED to see the Aruba story. Someone please explain that one.
To: Mike Bates
While I agree Fox News has worn out the utterly boring Natalie Hollaway story, is it any more worn out than what the other networks cover obsessively, whether it's the daily body count ticker in Iraq they get off on telling us endlessly about or their endless coverage of the utterly insignificant Cindy Sheehan?
At least the Hollaway coverage is motivated by the fact it at one time held viewer's interest and was something they wanted to know about (hopefully Fox is reading their ratings and noting people have lost interest now). Of course we know the Iraq body count and Cindy Sheehan obsession of CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC was all about furthering an agenda. Given the two motivations, I'll take the former over obsessive reporting meant to mold public opinion.
