O'Reilly is hard to beat. He got charisma, you have to like him. He's on the right (no pun intended) side of the issues (IMO) and he's entertainig. Ditto for Hannitty and Greta. All those others are just plain and boring. Fox and Friends is a great morning show, coming on at 6AM (eastern time)
I'm looking to see if Michael Savage's show on MSNBC takes off. His radio show is fun, but challenging. He seemed uncomfortable and way toned down on his TV shows.

Between the New York, Washington studios and the men and women on location, Fox RULES!
And this news does not surprise me one bit....

Except for watching some war coverage in the past few weeks, I almost never watch cable news. I would rather watch my local news.

That's the amazing part. Fox News beats CNN's ratings and a lot more people have access to CNN. More cable companies are picking up Fox News though. Customers are requesting it. Maybe this should be a lesson for CNN to try the "fair and balanced" approach.
