With Alan Keyes, MSNBC is watchable. Without him, no way.

The problem with Fox is that they turn to sensationalism and entertainment too much. O’Reilly’s Rosie O’Donnell interview was one of its most watched, but it was of so little importance.

I kinda like the Keyes show where it is. If only MSNBC would promote it as much as they promote Donahue . . .

Last night's show was a classic instance of how the republic would be worse off if AKIMS were to disappear.

Cheers,

Point well taken. Fox is weak in reporting. They don't have the people on the ground (like CNN does) to do an effective job. They don't report on the things they should like the water problem in Klamath Oregon, genocide in the Sudan or the alliance that was being formed between Russia, its former republics, Iran and China. In the middle east, they show the same clips over and over and run that poor slob Steve Harrigan everywhere. I think he is their army of one. To make up for this, they hype all of their really stupid stories, play them over and over, and encourage people like O'Reilly to exhibit more personality. The amount of actual news conveyed is very small.

I agree that Keyes could turn MSNBC around if they promoted and supported him more. I just don't think they will do it.

What the h%ll is the deal with Fox and Friends? They are using ALF as a commentator now.
