She was known to get some of her "breaking news" here at FreeRepublic.

MSNBC gets left with Matthews and Olberman--its now officially the rabid dog network.

I guess her form of trash TV didn't do too well there. But frankly, I'm not sure how anyone at MSNBC gets renewed.

Wonder if FOX will take her back?

I saw her a few weeks ago and she has gotten her voice fixed. Much better now.

So.... the "Money Honey" won't be replaced by the "Money Moose"?

Well, they took Geraldo back, so anything is possible.

Her reporting for Fox during 9/11 was pretty good. She should never have left. They gave her meaty stuff to work on. I think she is a good reporter who flourishes under a good editor. PMSNBC doesn't have good editors. Look at the judgment that goes into their programming. Hope Fox takes her back.

I'll bet she gained 200 pounds since she lost her show.

MSNBC seems to run these "life in prison" and other kinds of pre-packaged things over and over. It has occured to me that they don't have the money to run the kinds of shows they want - and need - to run to remain a player in the cable news mileu.

I liked Rita Crosby, except for her weird voice.


Would like to see Monica Crowley and Linda Vester again.

You mean she doesn't sound like she gargles with gravel anymore?

Well, perhaps she'll realize where her best interests lie and become a real reporter again...

I knew Rita's mother, we were neighbors and walked our dogs together in the morning for several years before she passed away. Rita is basically a solidly middle-class kid who did well at the start-up FoxNews and got too big for her britches there and then went to PMS-NBC. Too bad.

Cosby is a lousy on-air personality.

I think Rita Cosby was/is good at
the stuff she does, and has a
rolodex of contacts that any
reporter would give a years pay
for.


I don't think she should have \
left FNC, but i'd rather watch
her, than Geraldo...he's
degenerated back to the kind
of smamy stories he used to
do, that got him his sleazy
reputation...Whatever happened
to 'Geraldo: Intrepid WOT Reporter'?
