CNN President Jonathan Klein implies ratings news leader FOXNEWS is mired in coverage of "meaningless nonsense,"

Like some cheese with that whine Jonathan?

I think virtually all of tv is trash.

Oh I think the alphabet channels are trash - never watch them. But I do like the TW Movie Classics - watched a couple of Maureen O'Hara movies this w/e. Something about watching her, John Wayne, James Steward, etc. movies that are comforting in a way. Innocent times, I guess.

However, they did get carried away with Scott Petersen and Michael Jackson.

You wouldn't believe how carried away Fox News has been with the Natalee Holloway story... it has completely taken over Greta's show (which is pretty much expected), but has suprisingly taken over much of Hannity & Colmes and part of O'Reilly's show also. On MSNBC, Former Congressan Joe Scarborough has also sold out in search of ratings... everytime I tune in, it's all about Natalee, although there seems to be no news in the case. Just interviews with family members and endless discussion on why and how she may have disappeared.

My husband and I have been disgusted with FNC's coverage in general since the Natalee story got started. And along with Natalee is the story of the guy who disappeared off some cruise ship on his honeymoon, and now there's a beautiful young model missing in Ohio. Yeesh... Fortunately shows such as Brit Hume's Special Report, Beltway Boys and a couple of others have maintained their integrity.

YOU are just the person I have been looking for...

Do you know if Linda Vester is still at Fox?..I haven't seen her on the Noon show in months it seems like.

I hope she isn't gone, and that she is alright...she is one of my favorites...

FOX is doing the Supreme Court!

Yes, I saw that segment on H&C with Mary Matalin... it was good, the way H&C used to be all of the time. Then it was immediately back to breathless coverage of the Natalee mystery, then onto the new mystery of the missing model in Ohio... :-(

Greta's all over Holloway like Giraldo was all over O.J. If I remember that went on for over a year. I've completely quit watching her show and still, to this day, cannot stomach Giraldo.

I like Linda Vester, too. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen her in awhile. I have no inside of knowledge of Fox News, though... I just run the FNC ping list. I'll ask some other FoxFans if they've heard where she is. I suspect (and hope) she's just on vacation?

Well, he does have a point, but CNN carries the same type of stuff. However, not in doses that Greta does. It's not that Fox isn't largely pap--that's inarguable--but that they all are.

I've also quit watching Greta's show since this Natalee stuff started (and pretty much during the Scott Peterson trial). It's a shame... Greta was excellent when interviewing individuals like Bill Gertz, Mansoor Ijaz, Fmr. Ambassador Marc Ginsberg, "her generals", etc. She's gone completely tabloid... :-(

You're right, but last night when I scanned the news channels (perhaps at the wrong time?) every channel had a long feature on Olivia Neutron-Bomb.

Fox News-related question: Does anyone know what has happened to Linda Vester? Is she just on vacation and will return to "DaySide", or has she left FNC? I can't watch FNC during the day every day, so I haven't heard.

Please direct your replies to me or Txsleuth. Thanks in advance.

I do think they have way too much Natalie.
