Jim Angle
Grade: A
Jim is a good anchor man and an excellent reporter. He brings real experience to the table, and having been in the business for a long time (even at NPR!) and still able to be truly fair and balanced is a testimony to his skills.
Brett Baier
Grade: A
Brett's coverage of the Pentagon and defense issues has truly been fair and balanced. He's off the Defense Department beat now, I believe, but when he interviews officials or asks questions at briefings, he isn't rude but he also doesn't hold back. I trust his reporting.
Fred Barnes
Grade:B
Fred's role as an analyst is well fulfilled. He is a consistent conservative, and if I were only rating him as a conservative he would get an A. Sometimes he can get a little possessive of his time and talk over other people. So he gets a B.
Jeff Birnbaum
Grade: B-
I don't always agree with Jeff, but his analysis of the issues (he's a pundit on Special Report) is usually right on target with what "moderates" are saying. He brings some balance to the table, and I appreciate hearing his thoughts.
Carl Cameron
Grade: B+
Some may forget: Carl Cameron was the reporter who, on election eve 2000, broke the "Bush Drunk Driving" story. Cameron wasn't afraid to ask some tough questions of President Bush during Campaign '04. But, true to the Fox News Channel slogan, Cameron also pulls no punches when it comes to liberal politicians. He's a fine reporter.
Brenda Buttner
Grade: B
Brenda is part of Cavuto's great business coverage team...she can be a bit loud and shrill, but that is part of her personality on her Saturday show "Bulls & Bears". Brenda always looks like she's enjoying reporting news from Wall Street, and that makes me want to listen.
