this would be a good time for Brit Hume to break away and start another Broadcasting company that reports serious news, along with Chris Wallace. FOX has totally impoded. They need to move Greta's thing to once a week. How much of police/law issues can a viewer take? I mean, who really cares. Its almost like someone shoving a People magazine in your face where ever you go.

Oh, how I would love that! Is anyone at FNC listening...?

Fox can't touch CNN when it comes to international coverage, or breaking news for that matter. CNN just has too many resources worldwide. They left FOX in their dust during Katrina, with silly Shep and Geraldo blathering incessantly from the Superdome.

I much prefer Fox for discussion and routine coverage, but when something big is happening in real time, Fox simply can't compete. At least not yet. Perhaps things will change.

You are right.
FOX is a cheerleader when you need them. But an airhead Cheerleader until Brit comes on. They do okay news at the top of the hour for 10 seconds, and then it is watching a car wreck. They need more serious news for the first twenty minutes, and that other blathering "funness" for about 10 minutes. if they truly think serious viewers care about them acting goofy in the morning, they are wrong.

Pakistan is a problem. Musharaff will probably be thrown out of office (similar to the Shah in '79), and then what do we have? We have to take India's side on this and take their interests and security in mind. India is not muslim and treats women equally. Our two future allies in the fight against terrorism will be India, and the hispanic, catholic bretheren to the south, and moves need to be made to ensure this.

Stay in Denmark for a month, and you'll appreciate FOX News when it comes to overall coverage. CNN International sucks. They pick three stories, two focusing on the plight of Africa, an anti-American Iraq War story.

That's all there was for news when I was in Denmark. I only found out Gerald Ford died from the news ticker at the bottom of the screen. When James Brown died, that's all you got, nonstop James Brown. When Senator Tim Johnson entered the hospital, they just mentioned in passing, that particular story.

I don't buy the notion that FOX News doesn't have the "resources". They are a sister station to SKY News, which is an international news agency owned by the same Rupert Murdoch who owns FOX News.

I thought Pakistan is an ally in the War against Terrorism. Some of you seem to hate the country, but our current administration loves them. What's with the discourse?!! I'm having a really hard time figuring out if Pakistan is the good guy on our side or the bad guy we need to bomb. I lean towards bomb the shit out of, but then again most Republicans disagree with me for some reason. Whatever, politics is insane.

I enjoy the goofiness in the morning. The light-hearted Fox & Friends goes perfectly with my first cup of coffee. The remaining 21 hours, a couple of shows aside, though...no thanks. I find myself flipping over to CNN more and more; liberal bias aside—which is easily mentally filtered—I can at least get some serious reporting on real news.

Pakistan successfully test-fired on Friday a new version of a ballistic missile that is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead up to 1,245 miles (2000 km), Pakistani military sources said.

Only two questions need be asked: What is the range from Teheran to Tel Aviv and what is the range from any I-SLAM-ic stronghold to any U.S. domestic or foreign target?

Some of you seem to hate the country, but our current administration loves them.

As the mobster said, "It's just business." Countries don't love other countries. They have interests. Our interest there is in keeping our enemies closer. Musharraf is willing to cooperate---it is in his best interests to do so, and his government's.

"Opinion journalist there will demanding that our US leaders allow them to nuke Pakistan again."

Please, if that happens, who's going to run our liquor stores?

You have a point about Geraldo, but otherwise, I'll take FOX coverage of anything "breaking," any day because it's more likely to be RAW facts rather than carefully sanitized pseudo-news designed to target a specific political demographic with an agenda not the facts.

long range?" What kind of range would that be?

Personally I always defined it as any target I could not affect with direct fire thus requiring some form of indirect fire whether that be artillery or an airstrike. Used in a strategic context, as this seems to be, I would guess it means anything outside the established and recognized national borders for any nation using such a missile.

I agree 100.% Couldn't have said it better myself, so I won't.
