Maddening, isn't it? What do they do after 11 p.m., punch the button on the auto tape machine and turn out the lights?
I think that is when Rupert Murdoch goes to bed.
I was in NYC a while back and walked past fox news around 10pm heading back to the hotel. The studio is windowed to the street and not a single person was in there. Total darkness.
That's ridiculous! They turn out the lights at 8 p.m. (ET). O'Reilly, especially, has his show in the can early in the day, and Hannity and Comes is not much better.
Oh, the shows might be "semi" live...the hosts might even be in the studio. But it would truly require WW3 for them to depart their prepared material. Only Gretta stays awake and alert for breaking news from Aruba, runawway brides, Duke LAX, etc.
It is a sorry mess.
