Hubba-Hubba.

. . . Hot-Lanta, in some ways quintessentially emblematic of the Old South?

LOL. Been there lately? More like San Francisco than a southern city.

[I_dmc]

I didn't even know there was a Fox News Radio. Kewl!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Yes, I was there this summer. I chose my word carefully, "quintessentially emblematic" is not the same thing as "culturally aligned". However, I still think the Braves are the official baseball team of the Old Confederacy.

[I_dmc]

Oh, no, no, no. Hot-Lanta is the showplace of the New South.

Rudi.....

Probably the only woman in the media better looking than Ann Coulter. Too bad she's probably a liberal.

[DTogo]

Hubba-hubba is right! :)

There was a rumor a few months ago she might be hopping over to FoxNews. That would be nice...

We have CBS news on our primary talk radio channel. The tone of every news report is negative and condescending toward anything that has to do with the administration or the United States. They can not seem to report real news, without including an opinion from a liberal. Most days, they refer to the President as MR. Bush. Dig dig dig... they they they make impressive points, but reinforce what children they really are. Just gimme the news, give it straight, accurate, and keep the crappy attitude out of it. Obviously, they can NOT separate news from opinion.

News: Bill Clinton tripped an broke an ankle while running.

Same story but with George Bush:

A much embattled, arrogant and ignorant President, who has once again fooled the majority of Americans to give him a 2nd term in office, George W. Bushhhhhhh, still unable to gain his balance from a nasty fall from his tricycle, tripped over an imaginary pebble and apparently injured himself. Doctors are treating the Oval Office occupier at taxpayer expense, and are confessing to a throng of journalists, that a cast will be worn on the ankle as proof of injury. Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy have chimed in on the so-called accident this today in a hasty press conference to announce an investigation into the so-called accident. The President issued a short statement today after leaving the hospital saying "oops". Oops pretty much sums up THIS Presidents policies doesn't it Judy?

The standard for all daily newscasts is, in my opinion, Brit Humes show.

When my cable provider dropped the Fox News Channel from its basic service (while increasing rates!), I realized that Fox News was the only reason I even watch cable anymore. So, I switched to Dish Network, which offers Fox News at a lower rate than I was paying anyway.

Thanks for watching (gathering intelligence?) on the Today Show...I really could care less about the MSM's, I'm only impatient for their funeral to end and to bury the heinous corpse! IMO I felt they were approaching the end of their lives many years ago and have only rarely watched them and then only due to the fascination with their painfully slow demise. The success and growth of FOX News proves to me that many others are also able to read between the lines and see the desperation of the Lefty's ideology, and the willingness of the MSM to shill for all the failed & anti-American ideas of the Left and a tool for the Democrats.
IMHO FOX is a paradigm shift in TV news & commentary and along the scale of balance, they are not a 10 but probably a 8, the rest of this media rates less than 3/10 in trying to show more than 1 side of the issues.
Another encouraging part of FOX's success will be that new or existing competition inevidently will seek to incorporate the successful model that FOX represents and that bodes well, IMHO.

Did you ever notice that Shep wears false eyelashes on his
UNDER lash? Yep, he does.

“It’s a smash-mouth form of journalism that’s very entertaining,” says Matthew Felling..

And I suppose he thinks Dan Rather and CBS News are sober, fair minded, serious and professional journalists.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

she's probably a liberal

If she wasn't, she'd be wearing more than a bra.

[catfish1957]

You are right. At first, I thought it was an evening gown, but looking at the configuration of the strap, it does look like a bra.

[68 grunt]

I copied exactly the same sentence to make a respond. Sweet!

It was '87 when I started really getting po'ed at the canadian socialist and his anti-American drivel, and it was '88 when I stopped watching them. ABC, that is! Nothing! Not MNF, nor any specials nonsense they had, nor any of the 'hit series', (whateve they were), and I find this so dang sweet! I still won't watch 'em for a minute, until they get rid of the canadien.

[ORECON]

IMHO, Fox News and especially Shepard Smith are slightly left. The interesting thing for me is the followers on the DUmb sight complain that the MSM are neocon whores and go absolutely rabidly insane when Fox News is mentioned. They are currently complaining that Senator Diane Feinstein is a Republican and she and her husband are profiting from the illegal war on terror. They want her out of the Senate more than we do.

You know, while I understand that there is a conservative slant to Fox, I wonder if we perceive it so just because this is the first time we've ever gotten an even break.

Tom Wolfe, the author, is often called conservative just because he doesn't rave like a liberal. Frankly, when I just listen to him speak, I think he just may be that rare artist who is willing to listen to conservative arguments.

Greta is certainly not a conservative. She got her big bucks suing tobacco--via her husband. No grubbing trial lawyer is a conservative. And how about Geraldo?

And it seems to me that liberals are treated MUCH more kindly on "conservative" opinion shows than conservatives were EVER treated on liberal shows. Think how Michelle Malkin was treated by that goon, that thug, that pugugly bogtrotting Chris Matthews.

But if there's a genuine conservative slant to Fox, which sometimes I doubt, then I think we've got a few slants coming to us after all these many years of All the News That's Fit to Forge. But I am thankful for Fox that there is a News Hour with Brit Hume. I have a crush on both him, and Neil Cavuto. Genuine Nice Guys.

> (btw, I believe in TV jargon its called a 'Frog')

It's called a "BUG"
The ABC network nicknamed their bug the "meatball" (my husband works for ABC)
