Patriotic Americans know a communist news network when they see one

Good post

Quite frankly, the Fox pundits are a lot more interesting than the ones offered by CNN. The Colonel with the raspy voice is my favorite.

Good news! Thanks for posting.

Actually, this will be known as the tv war the world never saw, because of all network's insistence on placing that annoying info graphic at the bottom of the screen

Rick Leventhal's reporting has been fantastic, as has Geraldo's and Ollie North's

Everybody in network TV - and I mean EVERYBODY - was saying that "Oh, once the war starts, CNN will go back on top again. They're just too good, too experienced, too impartial, too well-deployed, yadda yadda yadda." As such, this is probably the biggest, most imporant victory in the history of FNC. Just as Gulf War I put CNN "on the map" (though IMHO it was Challenger that sealed CNN's legitimacy five years earlier), Gulf War II will force the rest of the TV news business to treat Fox News seriously, whether they like it or not. They can't simply dismiss FNC as a "bunch of biased right-wing yahoos" any more.

Fox News has been captioned 24/7 since the liberation began. They are the ONLY news channel to do so. Hopefully they have gained some deaf viewers as a result of this.

I have been emailing them for a long time now asking and begging them to start captioning 24/7. So, it really pleases me to see this happening.

Email them if you don't mind with your thanks. Thank you!

as has Geraldo's

Yes EVEN Geraldo's !!

Foxnews has had the best coverage. I trust Foxnews. I refuse to trust CNN or PMSNBC. How can you beat Rick Leventhal, Steve Harrigan, Brian Kilmeade, Greg Kelly, William Loganesque, Greg Palkot, Amy Kellog, Jennifer Eccelston. You can't beat that.
and yes even Geraldo has been doing a damn good job reporting.

I like that Major Backula, Balakaula, Blakilula, whatever, guy with the black goate, gotee, go-tee, AH SCREW IT!!!!

I like the Colonel too, but my favorite is Gen. MacInnalley. And I'm glad that he was back in the Fox lineup last night.
The last time that I saw him, he had his map and his pointer all ready for his presentation......but several times he was interupted by 'breaking news'. Time and time again he was cut off in mid-sentence, and I don't think he ever did finish. LOL.

Can't forget about Ollie North who turned over his videotape and reports to the US military when the helicopter crashed. Unlike Bernard Shaw in 1991 who said he was "independant"

Bob Bevelaqua.

I remember one cnn (no caps) headline that blared across the screen for a long time during some "shock and awe shucks." During the bombing, they blared out "Ambulances in Baghdad ready." They wanted to focus on all the poor inoccent children Bush was trying to kill.

They love focusing on the poor refugees, the left-wing freak protests, and whenever something bad happens, like the POWs. They find that more interesting than stories aboiut the THOUSANDS of Iraqis prisoners.

Gee, I wonder why Americans so far don't like it? Even though it's available in more households.

I was dissappoited in Fox last night. As I turned it on Laurie Duhe was off and Greta V was coming on.

[GulliverSwift]

I agree, who wants to hear the stuffy Puppy Blitzer and Christiane A-manpower?

[k2blader]

Glad to hear.

Still lookin' for a reliable live internet feed from Fox!

forgive spelling. I have begged for a spell check for FR

For some reason Greta gets higher ratings than average for Fox. I believe they have expanded her normal program to two hours.
