TV is all about ratings. Period.

People on TV say the things that TV execs think will bring in viewers. Period.

If a more conservative tone will bring in more viewers, then that's what they'll give us. Just follow the money. My bet is that Greta will start sounding more conservative. It's not about what the talking heads truly believe, it's about what they want us to think they believe.

Ratings = money, and Roger Ailes knows how to make it. That Van Susteren (who is, after all a lawyer) has "no loyalty" shouldn't come as a shock, even to the twits at CNN...

Amen, brother, amen. Just look at Whoraldo.....conservatives wanted to get the 'truth' about the 'war on terrorism' up close and personal, so to speak....well, he gave it to them--never mind that he lied--but it was what conservatives wanted to hear--wonderful buzz words like "hallowed ground" when referring to where military personnel losing their lives in battles or where they are buried.

Somehow, this all sounds like the pathetical politicians who run for office......when will we ever learn, when we we ever learn.
