I pretty much stopped watching news on TV...
What is this “TV” you speak of?
Amen.
I have very little time in my life for TV and I hate that Fox wastes my time with celebrity news, medical news and pet news in the morning. Human interest has its place, but I have places to go and things to do. I can't start the day informed watching those morning dolts. I have to fire up FreeRepublic for that.
I spend a bit of time in the office and leave the TV on Fox News just to have some background noise. I listen to some of it and what irritates me are the namby pamby frivolous stories that have no bearing on anything. So several times I switched over to CNN and nothing has changed. Near non stop Bush hammering. Either directly or indirectly thru the war or stocks or taxes just on and on. Hammer Bush hammer Bush.
I’m back to Fox News in the background.
When I get up, I just check FR. If I don't see anything interesting, t5hen nothing interesting has happened
I would rather watch Fox with all its drama and good looking women than any of the rest with their lies and partisanship.
That being said, I keep hoping Roger or Brit will look around an say “ENOUGH of the cryin WOLF and all the fake ass celeb stuff”.
Maybe FNC is watching FR and will take the hint!!!!
Strictly “Naked News” for me.
News isn’t any better, but much easier to watch.
You forgot to have the six bell alert when the missing woman is also a blond, hot looking, has bikini pictures and is a teacher who ran away with a young boy student.
Lets hope that Fox will go thru the learning cycle and improve. The alternative to Fox is ?
The only thing on FNC I watch with any regularity is Brit Hume. The sad fact is that CNN, bias aside, covers much more real news than FNC.
Brit is the gold standard - gravitas and super-intelligent, but also with a sharp sense of humor. Seems like he's the only grownup left on Fox News.
I've always liked Cavuto, but it seems lately, even he's pandering.
Mr. Inspectorette gets the biggest kick out of O'Reilly when he's sitting between blonde Megan Kelly and blonde Lis Weihl. Mr. Inspectorette is convinced that The Big O is experiencing some (ahem) masculine anatomical improvements during these segments.
I was channel surfing through CNN yesterday and they were doing a story on Iraq, and a reporter was stating that in one of the most formerly violent sections of Baghdad that the violence had dissipated and the only thing left to do was economic development. I never stay on CNN too long but to CNN’s credit, it appeared to be a reporter reporting news from the scene, a rare concept indeed on any cable news channel. This is not to say that I TRUST CNN, but I do trust it as much as the SCHLOX News Channel and the bonus is they have Lou Dobbs rightfully indignant about our open borders and appropriately using the term illegal immigrant every 15 seconds.
When everyone used to speak English, this was called “Melodrama,” and it wasn’t a complimentary term.
I choose not to watch. So for me this isn’t an issue at all.
LOL. I guessed several times but correctly managed 7 out of 10.
Kinda like FR where you see “Breaking News” and it’s been on for about three days. (like the Afghan threads)
And FR has more than its share of posters who simply do not understand the concept of Breaking News.
I hear they’re hiring.
I quit watching Fox when that idiot Doocy in the morning mentioned the viewer e-mails asking if they were going to talk about something other than the SoCal wildfires that day. He said something to the effect of "we know there's other news, but no." I switched over to local talk radio...much better.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Yup. Talking to much and to fast.
