My jaw dropped when Greta wished that loony Larry Flynt candidate "good luck" in his senatorial campaign at the end of the segment.
Hannity is getting even more repetitive in his parrot-like "x-million unemployed", "x-million on food stamps", "x-million this" and "x-million that" schtick. He can't help interrupting his guests every minute or so just to let folks know he's there and how erudite he is...too bad his comments are lightweight and often just ridiculous.....and never original.
The Fox evening lineup features more and more freak guests, like that Muslim PR flak featured on two successive Megan shows. Such incoherent shouting matches between hosts and guests are evidently "in", while intelligent, understandable discourse is "out".
When Greta's voice rises and speeds up she becomes totally unintelligible.
The under-informed O'Reilly and the boring GOPe agent-provocateur Karl Rove, are a babbling duo trying their best to muddle the Republican primaries beyond salvation. Neither of these two carnival spielers have any guiding conservative or constitutional principles whatsoever. Their dueling-banjos segments bear this out.
BOR's interviews have degenerated into mere platforms for his Hamlet soliloquies. The other night he ranted the whole segment while his two guests sat like waxen figures from Madame Tussaud's museum. One of the guests actually managed to get ONE personal observation in during the total segment.
The Fox evening lineup is becoming unwatcheable and unlistenable. The three hours are now more tabloid, more insulting to our intelligence and more uncomfortable. The hosts are become more aggressive, angry, confrontational and interruptive.
Maybe the network thinks this is what people want. Maybe the shows are just reflective of the unsettling times we're trying our best to live through.
Just some of my random observations, in no order whatsoever. I'm interested in other "Fox News" evening-lineup comments....and I promise no one's opinions will be interrupted, lol.

Although I agree with most of your assessment, and am delighted they finally moved Shep from the evening lineup, I still record Chris Wallace, Greta and Megyn. However, I find myself only watching Chris Wallace anymore.
I also enjoyed watching this blathering idiot get owned by Greta.
He probably should be running in Minnesota.
Good post. I myself no longer have TV broadcasts in my home and haven’t had any for about 5 years.
I used to watch Fox from its inception in 1996 and also enjoyed Tony Snow on Fox News Sunday.
But here’s the thing; Fox News grabs the attention of a certain age demographic, the newbies to politics and the uninformed and unaware. If it weren’t for Fox News the electorate would be programmed and brainwashed by the likes of CNN and MSNBC. I would hate to think of the world without Fox News even though I don’t watch them anymore.
So we should be grateful there is a Fox News. They are the most successful news and tabloid broadcast that exists today. I hope they put MSNBC and CNN out of business or at least force them to hire quality conservative hosts.
But as you say Fox News can make some improvements and if any of their staff are reading this thread I would bet they are taking notes. That’s the difference.
I will echo your comments.
To which I'd add one more thing. I really liked Megyn Kelly when she was on in the afternoon. She had a fresh and breezy style. But her evening show is different. Too edgy. Everything is either breathless “breaking news” or a mini-fight.
Nowadays I listen to bit of Greta, then I pop in an Andy Griffith DVD.
