Did anyone else see this? Does anyone know who he was talking about?
I have a feeling that he was dishing some inside dirt from FOXNews. If I had to guess, I would say someone got canned in order to make room for Glenn Beck's new show, and he was talking about that. Any ideas?
Saw it......had No IDEA OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
Yeah, I saw it. He mentioned a whole department getting canned.
Vanilla? It could have been a sarcastic reference to Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin.
I like Neil - but this does seem strange.
He sounds like he’s speaking of someone specific and a real situation - not like he’s generalizing for effect.
I wonder?
I saw it. The point (made at the end) was that he felt it was a deplorable way to handle the termination. No, I didn’t get the idea it had to do with some new show. He compared the “vanilla” person who was fired with the person who replaced him; someone known in the company for being in your face so-to-speak.
It may have been about Fox News, but I didn’t take it that way.
Gibson was let go, but I wouldn’t call him “vanilla.” Then whoever took his place is being replace by Beck. I never watched the show that took Gibson’s place, so I have no idea what it was like. Was it “vanilla?”
I do not know lwho he is talking about but I have noticed that Fox news has taken a shrp turn to the left on many issues. Maybe they are preparing for radio free america under BHO.
Could Cavuto be speaking of Norm Coleman?
If you’ve ever heard Norm speak, you’d agree with me.
I dunno. Glenn isn’t very controversial.
I absolutely hope it wasn’t Brit Hume!
I am going to miss him so.
I wonder if it is Huckabee?
His point contradicted itself. That is, the *person* was vanilla, but his whole *group* was fired. In truth, the vanilla person is the one who will be re-hired first. This is an odd, paradoxical truth about employment:
1) Employees who are really innovative, do more than their share of work, and really “try”, only get ‘B’s at best on their evaluations. This is because the waves them make stir things up for everyone else, especially their manager. They are associated with problems.
2) The employees who slack off, doing the bare minimum, but getting it in early, at exactly the same time and same way every time, who never make a mess or a fuss, and never make their manager *think* about them, get ‘A’s. Totally vanilla, they also make the list of “essential employees”. Again, like his example, their weakness is the group. If it goes, they go. They are not the bricks, they are the mortar. But mortar is important.
3) The brown-nosers usually don’t get laid off unless their boss does, because the boss personally doesn’t want to fire them unless he absolutely has to, but only as a last resort. However, they are tied to their bosses boat, and if it sinks, so do they.
I have a problem with Julie Banderas (born Julie E. Bidwell).She is no way as good a Laurie Dhue.
I understand Julie got the job by sleeping with a Faux Producer.
Jerry Rivers is the Pits however.
Anyone seen Eric Shawn lately?
I was watching his show yesterday it was bizarre. I kept waiting for him to say who it was but he never did.
Sadly, I hardly ever watch Fox news anymore as it seems there is not much difference between CNN and Fox :(
