["This was a reporters' war, not an anchor war..."]

Translation: People are much more interested in real-time reporting from the front lines than the bland, biased drivel from the elitists. The decision to embed reporters will go down as a brilliant stroke.

Amazing that they never point out that the 2 lblatantly liberal anchors lost viewers, while the less blatant anchor gained.

Yes, "Big 3" just keep denying your viewers what they want to watch. Continue asserting that you don't have a liberal slant in your NEWS coverage. Hang on to your views that Fox News Channel is not fair and balanced and you don't need to change your ways. Don't observe the trends and make positive changes like MSNBC is beginning to do. Keep up the in-the-past and unrealistic thinking (i.e., Clintonites make up the majority of the viewing public; Al Gore got more votes in the 2000 election.)

Just because your newsrooms are full of leftists doesn't mean you can emulate Baghdad Bob and insist that what you are reporting is the truth. Go ahead and stay in your Democrap bubble like Saddam in his bunker. Keep it up and your financial bottom line will start looking like a big fat zero.

I worked in a television newsroom for 21 years. I'll never forget the time the station did a study on what viewers want in newscasts. Number One on the resulting list was POSITIVE NEWS. That was totally ignored and they just kept on reporting SCARY NEWS (like what kind of foods will kill you today, the dangers of this or that, fill-in-the-blank is unsafe, digging for dirt on supposedly corrupt (Republican) politicans, blah blah blah) Their ratings didn't improve until they later started reporting in a more positive way and even included a special segment focusing on religious news.

Looking at these three photographs I can conclude that they have increased Dan's antidepressant medication, Tom is in dyer need of a high colonic, and Peter off on some irrelevant tangent about the unemployed servants of Saddamn Insane and their tragic post-war fate.

Note to all these clymers: Don't eat a lot of cheese with that whine, it'll bind up your bowels, and you guys are full enough of "it" as it is.
