"Newsmax's consistently strong numbers during the day and especially at the 7 p.m. ET slot has caused panic at Fox, which rarely makes lineup changes," Newsmax said in a statement Monday, adding with a wink, "The Fox is on the run."

See post #60. You’re mistaking a delivery service with the actual originator of the content. Common mistake among many on this thread.

“How do you think UVerse gets Newsmax? (hint: Newsmax is not a broadcast TV station.)”

Agree, but you need to add Cavuto and Geraldo to the list.

So sorry to hear that. She was pretty level headed when I
used to watch her.

She had a great wholesome smile and I thought highly of her.

Oh well...

I'll be nicer to Martha right after you KMA... up, down, left and right.

Until then I'll just continue to completely despise arrogant, lying News-Whores who work for our enemies.

Martha MacCallum is terrible.....better they let her go altogether.

She is very easy on the eyes IMHO.

I am watching Greg Kelly Reports right now. :-) Although I could do without the Joe Namath commercial.

I have no idea. Please enlighten me.
