Vanity or not- this needs to run a while so that FNC will see it. I am certain they monitor this board.

I'm surprised they can fit any MJ in, what with all the Laci and Kobe news.

I agree with you- there is some mighty lame programming on FNC. Not all, but much of their day and nights is dedicated to laci, kobe, now MJ - instead of what I think is important.

Of course, FNC has no obligation to broadcast what I think is important. But if they never broadcast what I think is important ... and they always broadcast what I think is UNimportant, then I watch less and less.

There's just this sensationalist approach, oddly I remember thinking just a few minutes (before this thread) ago that they seemed all to quick to jump to Never Never Land.

NOTHING more important happened in this country in the last 24 hours? Of course that isn't the case - they have to purposefully DECIDE to cover this schlock.

Seriously, I tape Brit's show and watch it every night, and I even find an interesting interview occasionally on O'Reilly, but the rest of FOX is junk IMO. Ok, some people like Cavuto but I never see it.

Ditto that.

And you are right as well, the sad thing is that when CNN's coverage makes FOX's look like a high school news cast i worry why it is that FOX is number one in cable news. What does that say about the sad state of cable news?

Exactly.

It has pretty much become the the televised equivelant of the Soap Opera Weekly. I can't stand it half the time.

As it is, I have tuned FOX out for news and gone back to the internet and the radio.
