Before the war, the top 15 cable programs usually consisted of Spongebob and the WWE. Now it's all Fox News. Enjoy irrelevance, CNN. (You're already used to irrelevance, MSNBC.)

Aaron Brown is the creepiest thing on tv. I can't understand why anyone would tune in to his show.

War Slut Amanpoop, "sexy" Zahn and Aaron *yawn* Brown wasnt exactly a lineup for freedom loving Americans to tune in to.

-You have Sheppard Smith and Rick Leventhal whooping it up (good friends, we can relate)
-Greg Kelley being the first guy in Baghdad, in the Palace and on the parade grounds (great footage)
-Ollie North, need I say more?

Geraldo doesnt help Fox, imagine if he didnt draw in the sand, he would have had Saddams ugly mug as we speak...

I watched CNN this morning (not my house) and saw how they treated the decision by the Baseball Hall of Fame to cancel the Bull Durham thing because of Robbins and Sarandon. The announcer almost laughed it off, noting that the President of the Hall was a former Reagan speechwriter and that Robbins had a witty comeback where he said "Long Live the '69 Mets".

Translation: The Hall President is touchy and mean-spirited and Tim ("People Have Forgotten I Was In Howard The Duck") Robbins could rise above it with a good humored comeback. It was sickening. Another example of why CNN is about to go dark.

I am praying that Rupert, who was on Neil Cavuto yesterday, does the right thing by the world and puts FNC front and center. Anyone who has ever had to sit through CNN international news abroad knows how horrible it can be, much worse than the bilge they broadcast for domestic consumption here.

Steve Doocy once compared Brown to "his dentist".

Aaron Brown is not only a priss, but he almost takes the "Smug and Holier-than-thou" Title from Hillary Rotten. Interestingly enough,CNN still is on everywhere in the US, while FOX is still in Limited viewing nationwide,right? That makes my smile grow LARGER!

Regardless of the fact that Geraldo messed up and told more than he should have, he IS a true American Patriot. His goof-up was not intentional - certainly not traitorous like Peter A. And he loves our military, most of whom seem to return the affection. I appreciate the way he is supporting our troops.

True, he was an idiot defending clintoon (probably due to his own guilty conscious over how he has always been so promiscuous himself). However, a FReeper reported Geraldo knew 70 people who died in the WTC which immediately caused a change of heart in him.

One thing's for sure ... Geraldo ayn't no traitorous Jane Fonda with a phony conversion. So please give him a break. He should not be held to his actions pre-WTC. In fact, the thousands of people like him who are now coming over to the right side should be applauded and encouraged to continue in their path to truth.
