"Hannity and Combes in my opinion, is the only show of the three, which is genuinely challenging and fun."

I used to think so, but like several other FReepers have said, FNC is becoming tabloid TV, and lately H&C has become little more than "Gretta Lite," to the point where I find myself switching to Scarborough.

Lately FNC has become the Duke Lacrosse Channel. O'Reilly leads with five minutes, followed by H&C and Gretta who devote half their telecasts to it ... every night regardless of whether there's any meaningful news or not.

With all the problems facing the U.S. and the world, 75 minutes on Duke Lacrosse is definitely overkill.

The thing I will give O'Reilly is he is leading the way on things like border security, the dangers of the ACLU and bleeding heart judges.

Just noticed something (very) interesting at the TV Newser site.

Guess who's going to be the first CNN prime show host, to beat Fox News?

He's the only MSM reporter anywhere, loudly and stubbornly out there advocating secure borders. And he's gaining viewership on Brit Hume. Now leading (#1), in the 25-54 demo.

Meanwhile CNN viewership is down 38% during the last year. :)

Well said. Lately, I watch Brit, Fox News Sunday, and nothing more on FNS.

Scarborough used to be good; but he's absolutely gleeful about Bush's low poll ratings, and has all these lefties on to gloat with him.
