Fox is going to have to be careful. The biggest mistake it could make is to take its conservative audience for granted.

Furrowed brow-Bump.

Jeez, talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

If you want a professional, balanced news presentation with a solid right-winger you'll watch Brit Hume or Snow.

If you like populist ranting, you'll watch O'Reilly.

A lot of people like Hannity (I don't know why) -- so watch him!

Turn the damned thing off the rest of the time. Too many people here have "boycott syndrome".

I quit watching after they hired Greta. Whoraldo was one thing, she was the nail in the coffin.

I'd rather watch the reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on FX on the west coast than gag through and hour of Greta.

Fox lost a ton of credibility when they hired Jerry Rivers (a.k.a. Geraldo). They lost a ton more with this Clinton whore.

[putupon]

Did you keep it on to see the homeless segment?

No, sorry I missed it, 15 seconds of the Whoreraldo/Hannity love fest and FOX was banned for the remainder of the evening at our house.

[ErnBatavia]

Same thing with O'Reilly when he puts the likes of Al Sharpton up there, giving the goon credibility; this pisses me off, to put it bluntly.

[Kaslin]

I agree with you 100%

[contessa machiaveli]

check out john gibson weekdays at 5 on fox, i think you'll like him. (he's on vacation this week and will return on monday).

Sometimes I think that we conservatives react too quickly when people change one little thing in our world.

As long as Brit Hume is senior editor-in-chief of the news section they've got me! Greta Van Cistern doesn't interest me, therefore I won't watch her. Roger and all the boys in management have proven, time and time again, they they keep a sharp eye on the ratings for individual programs. If people don't like this flaming liberal witch....DON'T WATCH HER! Roger will find out how we feel soon enough.

Besides, Roger and Brit may have much to say as to who her quests are. Let's hope they call on Alan Keyes for her first quest. The good Doctor would chew this broad up and spit her out in a New York minute. This is what Greta has in store for her, and I think it would be great!

[Humidston]

Roger Ailes, listen up.

We have remote controls in our hands and WE KNOW HOW TO USE THEM!

Fox's news spin on ERON & their contributions to the GOP last night was virtually indistinguishable from ABC's or CNN's.

Impossible. Fox is the only network that made mention of the democraps benefitting from Enron contributions while NBC's Brian Williams called it Bush's Whitewater. ABC's Petuh Jennings said "Enron's connections to the Bush administration, are wide and deep" and last, but certainly not least, CBS Marketwatch.com's David Callway warned that "The Enron debacle won't be President Bush's Whitewater. It will be much worse". Don't have a quote from Aaron Brown of CNN who was salivating before I hit the mute button.

[Random Access]

Geraldo is the reason God created the "off" button on the TV remote control. God is good.

[Sueann]

Yes, they had better be careful because we still have radio to get our news - we are not dependent upon FOX.

[skeeter]

I was referring to Fox's top-of the hour "headline news", not the extended pieces of reporting that guys like Carl Cameron, etc. do. or the opinions shows.

The bit I heard mentioned only that Bush had received campaign donations from Enron. Unfortunately, thats as much as many people will hear on the subject.

[StarFan]

Good morning skeeter. The bit I heard mentioned only that Bush had received campaign donations from Enron That may have been then but things look brighter now -- even CNN reporting the dems involvement (even if in a whisper).
