C-SPAN LIVE FEED

This bears repeating so others know that FOX is turning toward the likes of CNN.

Roger Ailes rope-a-dope?

I heard Britt Hume say last week that Fox News was now in most of the Scandinavian countries.

Ailes is one crafty bastard.

[EllaMinnow]

Kim Hume is on vacation with Brit. I want them both back - NOW.
I don't know who's in charge, but everything is slanting leftwards.

[alnick]

FNC......CNN lite! And I only say lite because they have Brit

Where's Brit been?? On vacation I suppose. I've sorely missed Brit during this stupid Niger manufactured scandel.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. Do you perchance know what the Gold medal signifies?

[MEG33]

Margaret Thatcher told Bush1 this and they are saying or asking was this Blair's "Don't go wobbly speech?"I would say he was telling America "You are by destiny the ones to lead.We'll be beside you."

[AnAmericanMother]

Well that was a homerun, or whatever the hell the cricket equivalent is.

That would be a "boundary" or a "hit for six" - when the batsman hits the ball so that it passes over the boundary without touching the ground. Scores six runs.

[risk]

Agreed, I also hope Blair isn't going to ask us back to a Kyoto-like affair in the future. Unresonable restrictions on American growth could have negative impacts on pollution. It takes wealth to give an industrial nation the means to filter its fumes and explore alternatives! Anti-growth environmentalism is one of the biggest drags on our economy, and the backlash against it is more counter-productive than eco-luddites would like to admit.

HOW COULD BRIT GO ON VACATION WHEN WE NEED HIM


###


...and his wife, Kim Hume, is the DC Bureau Chief for Fox News. She better get them back in shape quickly!

[Helms]

This Crisis does not lend itself to a
crossfire type show- it should be a no brainier. I am skeptical about FOX.

[AZamericonnie]

I agree with the muting of the talking heads. I don't need others to tell me what I just heard & how to interpret it.

[piasa]

I just wrote to Fox News about their change in approach, losing the "fair & balanced" priority, going left like the rest. Got some B.S. answer back about the 1st Amendment and everyone gets to voice their opinion, etc. I have the mute button on more often than not lately!

Thanks to them I've discovered that tuning into landscaping shows and the History Channel can be more entertaining background noise than Fox. And more informative, too.

[Carolinamom]

While keeping on cspan and awaiting the press conference, I just hear Pelosi say that she sees "the Republicans in disaray and the Democrats on a roll."........talking about Rebuplicans trying to destroy medicare.

[Tunehead54]

Some pic! Looks like her Jalapeno Suppository is kicking in!! Yuck.

Highest appreciation for distinguished achievement and service.I believe it's usually for Americans.

House Hunters & Animal Planet for me--plus Food 9/11. Maternity Ward tends to get a little too icky.

[alnick]

I think that Brit Hume is on vacation. Maybe that has something to do with FNC's leftward lurch lately.

[Spunky]

I can -- or we could stay here........whadda you?

Please ping me to whatever you decide to do. Thanks

[PhiKapMom]

That's how I took it as well. But then Snow got it all messed up since Pres Bush is definitely not going wobbly!
