FOX NEWS IS GREAT! Why?

Brit Hume just began a story with these words, I SWEAR!

"The little fellow in charge of Iran said today that..."

What a GREAT way to start a story about Ahmadinejad!

I LOVE FNC!

Yes. Unfortunately the only thing great about Fox News is Brit Hume.

With the possible exception of Fred Barnes' fumbling, grasping-at-straws answers to Brit Hume's questions.

I thought Ahmandinejad was in charge of Iran?

Edit: That is hilarious though.

Here are some of my faves.

Bill O'Reilly
Shep Smith
Jane Skinner
Neil Cavuto
John Gibson
Rudi Baktiar
Chris Wallace
Hannity & Colmes

I know I'm missing some.

Ooops, Iraq, Iran? They're all the same, right?

Marden: how many Fox News appreciation threads do you need today?

This is the only one. Why? Are you seeing things? Getting double or trippple vision?

"Well, you have to understand, they write in squiggle."

There's some cultural sensitivity for ya.

Well, marden, at least you don't pretend they are objective. I'll give you that

GREAT LINE! I LOVE SHEP!

Thanks, but they ARE fair & balanced.

Fair and balanced.

Shep wears more make-up than a $5 whore.

I like Brit Hume quite a bit.

But more and more, I try to avoid watching the "debate" shows on any channel. If I wanted to see people spinning from one side arguing with someone spinning from the other side, I can just come to the lounge.

I like listening to Sean Hannity and put up with Alan Colmes in the bargain.

Whenever I see Shep, I keep thinking he is going to segue into trying to sell me something. Not necessarily sex, but something...seedy.

I'm thinking timeshares or suits.

He is wicked quick witted and as personal or as professional as he can be and he knows when to be either.

Fox News is better than left wing liberal CNN.

OreoCookie · Apr 1, 2007, 02:18 PM

Why resurrect a six-month-old thread?

Buckaroo · Apr 1, 2007, 03:32 PM

It was on the search list. I didn't pay any attention to when the last post was. On top of that, I was really pissed that Barbra Frankenstien hadn't resigned. We can only keep praying.

Sorry.

OreoCookie · Apr 1, 2007, 03:38 PM

There's another thread on her, if you feel to share your dislike of her, do it there. I think this thread is dead

Jawbone54 · Apr 1, 2007, 03:45 PM

"Well, you have to understand, they write in squiggle."

I'm glad they brought the thread back up, just so I could see that.

Buckaroo · Apr 1, 2007, 05:26 PM

I know, I was there. I didn't post about her on this thread. I was posting in the other Fox News thread.

Why did you have to post again? You couldn't leave it at sorry? You had to get the last word in? Why?

At least he used wicked in the correct way before he was banned, I guess he wasn't all bad

besson3c · Apr 2, 2007, 05:54 PM

Let's ban everybody, that would be pretty cool....
