Good news, terrible on-air personalities on many shows.actually they have 2 great shows, GRETTA and BECK, O'REILLY not that bad either when you compare him to his competition on other stations. GLEN BECK has been pumping gold, he can't be that bad, or maybe i am partial to folks that think like me.

i dont think any of the shows listed are actually news shows are they? fox and friends is more of a morning entertainment show, while beck and gretta and billo are opinion shows.

i think shephard and megyn are about the only news people there during the day arent they?

I don't watch a ton and usually am not paying strict attention to when it is on, but the one on FOX that grates on me the most is the skinny, "funny" one on in the morning trio (with the lady and the darker haired young guy).

He (I can't think of his name) has some flimsy Keanu-Reeves/young-Nicholas-Cage presence that makes me queasy and long for the "super anchor" style that I usually mock, like the guy on late morning - Jon Scott?

I haven't watched in a while but that Grechen Carlson has got to go. She really should be back in Minnesota putting extra sweaters on the kids to go to school.

I click into Beck every now and again and have no idea what he's talking about. It's turned into a self-help show or somthin'.

O'Reilly is on cruise control. Cashing a fat check and heading back to the Hamptons. Hannity rolling around in the same hamster cage. 3 hours on the radio and an hour on the telly. I don't know how he does it.

MegKell is very sharp. I fear she has 'chicken legs' which is a categoric deal breaker for me in that dept.. She is very pretty and quite sharp though. :ThmbUp:

I admit, if I didn't want to watch the Soprano re-runs on A&E, this was my go-to second for a long time as long as there wasn't a studio audience. An hour of wild conspiracies, but well conceived presentations and legitimate entertainment for 60 minutes.

I tried tuning in the other day when they hit me with Hoarders on A&E and I thought I was watching Steve Martin in Leap of Faith or something... The last few times it seems to have taken a turn towards feeling more like a meeting of a club that I'm not a member of.

Watching the miner rescue story last night night reminded me why I don't watch any of the cable news shows. I mean the story was interesting but it was better if you had the sound off so that you don't have to listen to the stupid banter.

That idiot Shepard Smith on Fox couldn't even tell whether the rescue chamber was going up or down, and he's staring at the pulley turning and watching the cable feeding into the hole. He kept saying over and over that its coming up. then after a bit of time he breaks in, like its breaking news and says that "we're just getting word that the rescue unit is actually going down." DUH! every person in the world above third grade already knew that already Shep.

Often I find CNN the least objectionable in a situation like a big news story, except when Larry King took over I had to turn the channel. Anderson Cooper isn't bad with a straight news story.

I know I'm supposed to be in love with Fox because I'm conservative, but most of the main shows I can't stomach the people.
Gretchen Carlson - can't stand, same with the other co-hosts.
Megyn Kelley - nice to look at but grating to listen to
Neil Cavuto -don't care for
Beck - Not my cup of tea
O'Reilly - can't tolerate him
Hannity - irritating and repetitive
Greta - irritating and grating

Fox has best election night coverage if you can get past the cheer leading. CNN is still the best at breaking news especially overseas although they are slipping. MSNBC's only asset is Chuck Todd. He seems to have more insight on the nuts and bolts of politics than anyone else. Daytime news channels do seem to be trying to out do each other when it come to putting on good looking but mentally challenged women. I like Larry King when he interviews old movie stars. The rest of the time, well.... One question, was Glenn Beck cloned from Professor Irwin Corey's DNA?

That is some funny stuff on Smith. I can't stand to look at the guy; he looks like a badly built mannequin, with the brains to match.

Your statement in the second paragraph may be indicative as to something I read recently about Fox losing viewers; they are still way ahead of their competitors during most shows according to the report I saw, but things aren't as rosy as a couple years back.

IMO, Megyn Kelly is the least attractive woman on the network, because she looks and talks like she is 100% B**CH.

I do think Fox has plateaued. As others have mentioned they do have some talented second tier people. They might think about freshening it up a bit and bringing some of those people to the front. But at they same time, why would they mess with success when they dominate the ratings.

At least Fox interrupted its agenda long enough to give the Chile miners their due. I flipped to the other so-called news channels to review their reporting of it and there was nothing. Keith Primadonnaman doing his usual ugly ranting; Rachel M stuck on gays in the military; Larry King giving Michael Moore a chance to use the mine rescue as yet another excuse to criticize the US. Pathetic; just pathetic.

As an aside, when President Pinera was giving some remarks after all were out, he said it was a global event, and he listed some of the world leaders that had congratulated Chile for a job well done; conspicuously absent from the list was our president Zero. Couldn't our guy have interrupted his Republican-bashing long enough give a conservative president in this hemisphere some props? Pathetic, again; just pathetic. (p.s. I see that Boxcar made the same observation in the Miners' thread. :ThmbUp: )

There's a simple explanation for that. When each of the saved miners stepped out of the capsule, they made the sign of the cross. Can't have that on MSNBC or CNN because it would be insensitive to non-Christians in their view.

But he didn't call Pinera personally to wish him well, as did many other world leaders. Pinera, literally, cited all the world leaders who called him (I think there was about 15 or so) without so much as a list in front of him, by the way. BO is a classless wonder if there ever was one. I guess Chile isn't a power player on the world stage. On the other hand, if it had been Iran, Saudi Arabia, ....

This is what liberals are all about. When they can't rationally and cogently defend their positions, they just duck the issue one way or the other. In this case, walk off the stage. How disrespectful was that to the audience? And where was the tolerance of these two buffoons? And did you catch the totally ELITIST, morally superior attitude of WhoopiDo?

The problem with Joyless Behar and Whoopie-do Goldberg is that they are far too politically correct like most Democrats and liberals - but only when it suits their views. But they have no problem with calling all Tea Party members racists. It's simply the good old double standard that liberals feel they are entitled to use. The issue is that we were attacked by Muslim terrorists on 9/11. Obama doesn't like the use of the word "terrorist" and The View ladies (I use that term loosely) objected to the word "Muslim". They did seem to later approve O'Reilly's use of the term "Muslim terrorists" after he had previously left off the word "terrorists". Then they came back and sat down. But I was just watching Glenn Beck who commented on this story and he noted that at Pearl Harbor, we were attacked by the Japanese. Not terrorists and not Japanese terrorists. Just the Japanese - PERIOD.

I really wonder how these bimbos would have reacted if 9/11 had happened during the Obama presidency. I strongly suspect that they wouldn't care what terminology we used to describe the attackers.

Using Beck's convoluted logic, apparently he believes that the US should have attacked Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, and the UAE after 9/11.

They probably would have called them "terrorists", as O'Reilly should have, if his goal had not been to play to his fan base by insulting a religion.

Watch out for those Amish, too, Bill. Many of them speak in a foreign dialect, and who knows what they may be planning?

You are absolutely correct in your last two sentences, but I have my doubts about the first two.

<LI>“If we're successful in Iraq … we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11.” - Cheney (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080244/) on Meet the Press, Sept. 14, 2003
<LI> "The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th." G.W. Bush--Washington, D.C., July 12,
<LI>2007There's overwhelming evidence there was a connection between al Qaeda and the Iraqi government. </SPAN>I am very confident that there was an
<LI> established relationship there." - Vice President Cheney, 1/22/04

The administration hammered away at every opportunity to get the country behind an attack on Iraq. There are many quotes on record from Colin Powell and Condoleeza rice, as well. This is all very old news.</SPAN>

Although the shock did seem contrived to me, too, and the walk-out was more unnecessary drama, the point is that O'Reilly eventually corrected his erroneous labeling of the Muslim community as the 9/11 attackers.

They probably would have called them "terrorists", as O'Reilly should have, if his goal had not been to play to his fan base by insulting a religion.

Was he incorrect in his statement?
Were the death pilots good old Irish boys?

It's about choices. O'Reilly chose to make an inflammatory statement that he knew would offend millions of people around the world and alienate many of them who would otherwise be helpful in the war against terrorism. The very fact that he corrected his original description of the 9/11 attackers tells me that he knew that he was wrong.

Why should we give a flip about offending anyone? Islam has declared war on the "great Satan", remember? Do you not know that jihad has been delclared against the U.S.? And is Islam concerned about offending tens of millions of Americans by insisting they want to build a mosque in NYC at ground level zero? Americans should have the thick skins, while the Muslims' skin grows thinner? Is that how it works?

Good trivia question. On average, how many layers of clothing does she wear?

Let's see if I've got this right, Boxcar. We can invade Muslim countries unprovoked and kill thousands of innocent Muslims in the process or we can station thousands of our soldiers in Muslim countries while "we give a flip about offending anyone" but if an American Muslim wants to build anything a few blocks from Ground Zero, we have every right to be outraged.

Tell me again why we are supposed to be the ones with thick skins.

I look forward to your righteous response. :rolleyes:

Am I the one living in an alternate universe, or has everyone else gone stupid?

O'Reilly says the Prez is having trouble connecting with mainstream Americans, and uses the mosque issue as an example. Seventy percent of the population is against it, and all the Big O can do is give mealymouthed, half-assed lip service to constitutionalities and legalities, without taking a definitive stand (voting "Present," as it were). Americans want more leadership from their Pres, O'Reilly says.

And the dim broads take that and walk off the set. It's almost as if the outrage was staged; like, well, I guess this is where we're supposed to walk off, eh, thinks Joyless, and Whoopsie follows her cue. I get the sense that no matter what he said, or when he said it, or whatever it was about, they were going to show him. Without, of course, thinking it through that it just might make them look like idiots.

And this thread has taken a similar tack. Is this about whether there should be a mosque built; or whether Bill O'Reilly is an insensitive turd; or whether the lib narrative is so close-minded that any attempt to look at something from a different vantage point is high heresy? I guess it's all of the above, but, man, that's some crazy drift. :confused:

Regrettably, I can't stand the sight of the woman. She ruins it every time when she her lips move.

All well & good that married schmoes have passing inclinations towards her but if she continues to pose like this for pics, professionals like myself are gonna start havin' ideas that have some beef.

Big peeve in this camp about red kicks with a black outfit but that's another story.

Where you seein' this about Ailes?

You're not serious about 'permission' are you?

read in the comments section of one of the conservative sites I frequent. If I can dig it up I will send you the link. I hit about ten or fifteen places a day......I might check my history.

The comments said that Fox News Contracts contain a clause that requires approval of Roger if they appear on another network, print publication or are the subject of a feature story anywhere.

I cannot imagine that her being the attorney she is, she would not have received permission. I do think this is about the raciest thing any Fox News type has ever done though. Maybe she wants out of her contract ? I am sure she could find work real fast ............

IMO, Megyn Kelly is the least attractive woman on the network, because she looks and talks like she is 100% B**CH.
Tend to agree with this. Very nice to look at, but she has too many hard edges. She is a conservative feminist, two things which are not really compatible. If she were a liberal, would then define her as the stereotypical FemiNazi.

Speaking of red, this am Fox Business Networks gorgeous redhead, Liz Claman, hosted Bulls and Bears on Fox. Beautiful, professional, and feminine, wish that she was a regular on Fox, not FBN, which I do not get unless I subscribe to another tier of costly channels, the usual cable company nonsense.
