I used to dislike Greta intensely when she was on CNN, but since she came with Fox, she seems so relaxed and comfortable with herself, and she is much prettier and smiles a lot more. She still controls a very interesting show and I find myself watching her more and more.

"wise-cracking Steve Doocy " Steve has been on fire this week. He wanted to know when the Saudi's would hold a telethon for the bombers this week. And he commented about the mainstream media not carrying the news about Umm Qasr holding democratic elections because it was good news. Great stuff, that morning show.

Somehow Fox has assembled a group of TV journalists who connect with viewers, probably because they come across as normal people. Fox reporters almost never condescend to viewers. Hmmm - I don't think they EVER condescend to viewers - that's what makes them so likable. Adorable Tony Snow pokes fun at himself all the time - he read my e-mail to him on the air one time where I asked him if his kids had been cutting his hair.
Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke are like a couple of cranky old uncles bickering at the family reunion, and even the urbane Brit Hume gets his dander up as he rolls his eyes and gets a look of total disgust at Mara and Juan's inane liberal ramblings.

The difference between Fox and her imitators is that when the others add a (lone) conservative voice its a conscious affectation. It just doesn't come across as natural, because it isn't.
So Fox is going to continue to kill them in the ratings, because there is only one Fox, and the liberal audience is fragmented among all of the other news sources.
Now someone needs to finance a Euro-Fox channel, to break the leftist news monopoly there. And someone needs to kick off a Spanish language Free Republic. We need to shake things up a little.

MSNBC's Ashleigh Banfield, in her sophisticated glasses, comes across as a blue-blooded sophisticate That's the only line in this article that I disagree with. She comes across as a snotty Tina Fey, trying too hard to be trendy.

Face it, Roger Ailes has a better eye for talent and personality than the other network news honchos.

Is Fox making a programming mistake? There's lots of people (like me) who don't pay much attention to TV (some news, some sports---that's all). We don't care about cable (If you get 100 channels, you'll waste even MORE of your life on the boob tube).
Nonetheless, I WOULD like to see FNC, but too cheap to pay $400 / year for it, go with out. Meantime, the local broadcast version of Fox is watched ONLY by people that ALL have cable, owing to the fact that they're the folks who think that TV is life.
So why doesn't Fox flip the two, making FNC the braodcast channel, and "Surviving-Back-Stabbers" the cable outlet? I think they'sd get more total viewership.

The anchors and reporters on Fox News just seem to have more personality, energy, and likability than their counterparts on CNN.

Should be entertaining and a refreshing change of pace to see Neil Cavuto host O'Reilly tonight.

FOX is really proud of the fact that they draw perhaps the most informed viewer ever. They expect us to understand, and we do, the complex world situations and they can concentrate on just telling us what's happening. That makes it a great experience for FOX and for us.
