I'm at work in the morning so I never get to see the "Fox Friends" show, but at least FoxNews saves their real "fox" for late-night! And unless I'm mistaken, CNN and MSNBC sucks Greta's dust at 10PM.

Go a little easier on the California wine, my friend.

I just e-mailed Roger Ailes an apology. When he hired Greta, I contacted him and chewed him out, saying if I wanted liberal bias I could watch every other channel.

Well, guess what? Greta has been as fair, thorough, and informed as any person on the air. And patriotic! I loved how she would call the military guys, "My generals!"

Good think Ailes didn't listen to me.

That may be, and for good reason.

I'm going to say something here that would have been considered blasphemy when Greta was first hired.

I think I like her show the best of their entire lineup.

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the others--Shep Smith comes in a close second--but when her show comes on I know I'm going to get nearly-uninterrupted INFORMATION.

She always has fabulous guests who know their stuff, she always asks to-the-point questions, and she NEVER gets in the way. She is NEVER the star.

One "advantage" I have over many others here is that I've NEVER been a news-junkie before. I always got my news from the newspaper and from books, never from network television. For the past ten years I have counted on Rush Limbaugh for news. For the past five, Free Republic.

Even after I got Fox News on Dish, I didn't watch it because I "knew" that it would contain people I didn't want to hear from.

I began watching Fox, finally, on 9/11, and I have pretty much stuck with it ever since. I even enjoy Hannity and Colmes, which I never would have expected (because I thought it would be just another "screaming face" show like the old CNN "Crossfire" which I never enjoyed).

Even Alan Colmes comes up with some good stuff now and again, is respectful to guests (probably even more than Hannity is), and challenges them to get their facts straight. I respect Alan enough that I'll even listen to his radio program if I happen to be in the car of an evening.

I never watched Greta when she was on CNN, so I had no opinion save what others here would say (and that was uniformly negative; when she was hired, many people here "lost it," almost as much as they did when Geraldo came aboard).

But I repeat: I enjoy Greta's show very, very much, and I don't mind saying it. Kudos to her and props to Fox for hiring her.
