CNN has just improved by leaps and bounds.

Yo be-baw. I must have been under a rock yesterday. Ailes is either dumb like a fox or dumb as rocks; I truly don't know which it is. To be a fly on the wall when they have their "strategery" sessions. Are we being sold out for a larger cause?

Two(actually more) problems with leftists on the tube:

    1. GARBAGE IN! They are "Utopians". As such, they are out of touch with reality. Their thought processes have to go through so many convoluted and useless iterations, that by the time information gets where it needs to be, it no longer resembles the original input. It has been filtered, flaxed(2: the fiber of the flax plant especially when prepared for spinning), and farkled til it fits their skewed(2: to distort especially from a true value...) vision of the world, or maybe more accurate, how their world should be. Reminds me of an old Coke commercial: I'd like to teach the world to sing....... you remember.

    2. GARBAGE OUT! See #1.

I'm speculating two things are going on here:

1)Ailes is obsessed with CNN and passing them in viewership. Since van Susteren has (reportedly) the second highest ratings among CNN's shows, he thinks that luring her away will be a minus for CNN, if not a plus for FNC. I believe, however, that he's taking a big risk because (as can be seen on FR) he's alienating a goodly number of Fox's strongest supporters with his signing up liberal grandstanders like Ms. Rivera and Mr. Susteren.

2) He's trying to get even with CNN for luring away Paula Zahn.

Geraldo has already significantly damaged Fox's credibility with his 'confused' friendly fire reporting. Ailes cannot afford another blunder like that. Let's face it, the rest of the media are out to get Fox, and ANY mistake or sloppiness in reporting will be magnified by Ailes' competitors in both broadcast in print media.
