Personally, I think O'Reilly disrespected Rush on purpose. He was probably in a huff because Hannity had Rush on the air earlier in the week. If Rush is as smart as I think that he is, he will not give O'Reilly the time of day. Conservatives used to think Fox News was fashionable because as the new kid on the block it tried to distance itself from the biases of the MSM. Fox News is no longer fashionable to this conservative. Lou Dobbs and even Larry King make better viewing than O' Reilly and Greta. As far as the other shows go, Fox needs to get some new blood as far as consultants go. Newt, Dick Morris, Judge Napolitano et al are wearing very thin. I do believe that the latest ratings show that CNN is narrowing the gap a bit. In O' Reilly's time slot it appears he has a bigger margin than he actually does. CNN Headline with Nancy Grace has a significant audience. particularly when you compare it to the other CNN Headline. programs. If you add Zahn and Grace together, O'Reilly still has a big lead but not as much as it appears.
Fox is moving to much toward the "mainstream."
