Very seldom watch FNC anymore, and NEVER Sheperd Smith. I've traded FNC for FR (two initials are easier to remember than three :) ).
I watch bits of Fox & Friends during the week, then try to watch Brit Hume, but other than that, I turn to FR to get my news. I used to have my TV turned to Fox News constantly, but got tired of the monotony of Shep, O'Reilly, Hannity & Colmes and Greta.
Fox and Friends was once a decent morning news show. However, their primary focus would now appear to be the promotion of "reality" shows promoted by Rupert Murdock.
During the recent American Idol idolatry, F and F went over the edge. They lost me as a morning viewer forever.
Agree with you about Schlep (as in "Tramp") but still like Cavuto and Gibson and occasionally, watch Hume.
