If Fox would get rid of Greta and drop the all Michael Jackson all the time they might survive. The thing propping them up is the rest of them are so bad.
Just in case you didn't read the complete article, Greta Van Susteren's program is up by the highest percentage on Fox:
"On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" up 37 percent;
"Hannity & Colmes" up 19 percent;
"Special Report With Brit Hume" up 20 percent;
and "The O'Reilly Factor," up 9 percent
Obviously her program is bringing in a lot of new viewers, so even though you may not like her, it seems that many others do, including me. I think she is basically fair and honest in her comments, and it is, after all, a legal show that she hosts, so they aren't going to be discussing baseball, and they probably ARE going to be discussing Michael Jackson, the Atlanta murders, Scott Peterson, Robert Blake, etc. That's what they do on her program, discuss legal cases.
Yea, it's sad that we have become a nation of "looking at the crash scene death". If they televised suicide by gunshot to the temple it would probably be the most watched show on TV.
We need more alternatives to liberal media, not less.
One thing I noticed about CNN vs. Fox is that CNN is sonorous and depressing even when covering something apolitical, while Fox has energy and is upbeat. I think the general attitude at Fox appeals to younger viewers as well.
I have to agree with you about Greta...I dont really know why people complain so much about her, unless they are just complaining because they dont like her....
I watch Greta every nite...and no, she does not go on and on incessantly on just one case, like Scott Peterson, or Michael Jackson...while those trials are on, yes, she did discuss them a lot, but so what, so do a lot of other news people...
What I find most informative on Gretas show, is first of all, she always has a lot of different lawyers and law enforcement people, and medical people, all with different views, and all presenting often different viewpoints, for us to ponder, and then make up our own minds...
She also does what I consider to be a public service, which I find on no other progams, whether on FOX or not...On many of Gretas programs, she may have up to three or four different news stories, about people who are missing, or have been found mysteriously dead...these are for lack of a better word, these are 'smaller' cases of missing and murdered people(I call them 'smaller' as they have not made the national news as much as say the Scott Peterson case or the Robert Blake case)...certainly no cases of missing people or murdered people are 'small', but few make the big national headlines....
If you watch Gretas show long enough, you will see her bring up these stories, interview the families and friends of these missing and murdered people, and giving the friends and families, a voice on TV, that I see no one else giving them...
So frankly, to all the Greta naysayers, I say, tough luck with trying to get rid of her...I would rather watch her any day, than watch Sean Hannity blather all over, and say nothing of substance...
