Fox and Friends Needs Our Help

CNN's "American Morning With Paula Zahn" sharply narrowed the audience lead held by "Fox & Friends." The gap with the Fox News morning show diminished to about 6 percent in October, down from 28 percent in September.

In reading the happy news that Larry King is finally being seen for the crappy interviewer he is (Hannity and Colmes beat him last night in their timeslot) - I noticed that the Fox News morning program is slipping a little bit to Paula Zahn's on CNN.

What in the hell!?

I think Zahn's show blows - what do you guys think?

[flyball]

The only thing worse about the Paula Zhan (than Zhan herself) is that Jeanne Moos who always has something pointless to add to the most pointless show on T.V. I have no idea how Zhan is edging closer to Fox and Friends...there is no comparison.

Maybe ED needs to refrain from posing with biker men!

It seems like CNN benefits during "big news" periods. They take many viewers from Today & the other nets.

[Salvation]

BTTT for Fox and Friends.

My viewing of F&F waned during the sniper news, because Fox&Friends was not any different than the others.

Fox & Friends morning show is awful.... I just can't watch them (but I like FOX for the rest of the day!)

I prefer IMUS on Msnbc, and if he's not on, then I brace myself and watch Katie Colic - NBC (it's the only times I get to see just how bad she is distorting the news for the rest of America)

I am in total agreement, Fox and Friends is nothing but FLUFF, just like the rest of them. The show is not news, it is a running comedy/personality routine with a minutes worth of news thrown in.

I never watch it because those running the show act ridiculous. Pretty boys and girls who think it all about them.

I only watch Fox for a few minutes in the morning, and then spend the rest of my available time watching the CSPAN call-in show. Now there's a real morning eye-opener!!

[zygoat]

I have heard them say things that you would never hear Paula or any other hosts say. When something is rediculous, like some of the protesters or the absurd Anna Nicole Smith-they will laugh out loud.You wont have that on other networks.They also call palistinian terrorists "homocide bombers" instead of some white-washed, p.c.term designed to be non-offensive.

Screw fox and friends. The weather guy stinks, the dark haired guy is an out and out liberal and the blonde is a blonde. Your best bet is do not waste time watching any of the morning shows.

Maybe ED needs to refrain from posing with biker men!

Or start wearing real short skirts.

[MinuteGal]

How can we help the ratings if we don't have a Neilsen-rating thing in our homes?

I'm a Fox addict, but I simply can't take Fox and Friends before breakfast!

The weather guy is great.

[Chemist_Geek]

The morning Fox guy showed a picture of John Muhammad and asked, "So, this is the angry white guy the profilers have been talking about?"

[retiredtexan]

I will give you that. He is better than the other two.

[MadelineZapeezda]

I agree. Steve Doocey and Brian Kilmeade are great. E.D.'s ok. The reason I sometimes turn channels is they waste too much time on talking heads and less on the news. The sniper coverage was excessive while other stories , esp. world and euro news goes unreported.

WAKE UP FOX. You'll lose your edge.

I used to watch F&F on TIVO everyday. Now, it is All Sniper All the Time. I fast forward to Mancow, watch his segment, then mostly skip everything else. The Fox coverage of the Moscow theater was practically nonexistent. What a letdown.

[Helms]

But then again, I bet that Fox makes way more money with the show. FAF must have a lesser payroll than CNN. I like thinking about the money that CNN is having to spend to keep up. I HOPE THEY HIRE GERALDO.

[stuartcr]

All news all the time is really ridiculous when you think of it. It's not the least bit necessary. I get embarrassed for them when they ask such inane questions and try to be serious. The cable people must really be hating TIVO.
