I also have been complaining over their News Alerts that go on and on during the day and about their coverage over the weekend that the Al Qaeda person was not in US custody when he was -- other networks said he was.

If you want me to go on, I will be glad to -- how about their reporting in the Laci Peterson case that day when they searched the Peterson house. Fox -- Nine squad cars trapped Scott in his driveway, led him away in handcuffs. Actual story, they ran into Peterson down the street (two cars) and asked him to return to the house so they could give him a search warrant. Huge difference in reporting between Fox News and CNN/MSBNC who BTW turned out to be right and Fox was wrong.

Another one recently -- explosion at the CDC in Atlanta. Hazmat team on the way. Fact: Fire alarm went off in a building and they orderly evacuated. MSNBC got that one right too.

If you think Garrett is my only problem, then you don't know me at all! I don't take anyone's news forgranted until I find a second source. Have seen too many Breaking News stories turn out to be duds on all the Cable News networks. Sorry if I don't have the love affair with Fox but the day I start taking everything they say as gospel, I will remember Rita Cosby saying the SCOTUS had given Al Gore the victory. If you haven't noticed the preponderance of ex-MSNBC folks along with CNN that all over Fox, then go right ahead and keep saying Fox is the only channel to watch.

I spent hour upon hour working to get Fox on my cable and I still do watch Fox a lot for your information. Sorry you don't think a new channel should be critized when they make mistakes. People on here like to take after CNN and MSNBC -- do you want the same thing to happen to Fox where they don't think they have to answer to anyone because they are all we have.

Give me a break!

At 9:00 cst I watch Joe Scarborough on MSNBC instead of Greta.

I'm telling you there has to have been a change in staff..they have news alerts over things the mods would pull out of breaking news..it's not breaking news stuff.

It's not the only channel to watch; it's just far superior to the rest. I really don't care about FOXNEWS' reporting of local stories in Atlanta or those God-forsaken missing person accounts. That stuff just goes past me. I don't care about it; I dont' remember the factual details of any of them.

I don't watch either channel at 9:00; I've never liked Susteren, and Scarborough is trying too hard to be like Chris Matthews. He's almost a parody.

I watch hockey in March and April; it's nearly the playoffs!

It's auto channel change when Geraldo "The Fake" comes on for me. I can't stand to see or hear him. I'm the regular staff on FNC complained about him going every where. Did you notice that just about all of them have been in the Middle East now. Greta "Clutch Cargo", is also a pass for me. I find my blood pressure rising while trying to watch Hannity & Colmes. I find it hard to believe that Colmes is that stupid.

The weekend morning gang are the pits. Did you notice how fast they brought the "A Team" in to cover the Space Shuttle accident?
