I respect CNN for not making a big deal out of it on air. CNN is NOT NEWSTAINMENT like FNC. And THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE! CNN doesn't act like 2 year-olds on air. They give the NEWS the respect it deserves. If I wanted to see wrestling I would watch it WWE!!!

"CNN doesn't act like 2 year-olds on air."
 
How true. You'd never see one of their on-air anchors put a garbage can over his head on election night. Oh wait...

They don't act like 2-year olds?  
Let me introduce you to James Carville and Robert Novak...

For some reason I'm reminded of Anderson Cooper (whom I think is a pretty good reporter overall) stuck in a hurricane, and exclaiming like it was incredible, breaking news:
"Look! The trees are moving!"

Nope, not childish at all, are they?

Here is a "Fox News Alert". Natalee Holloway has not been found yet and there is no new evidence. But we will keep you updated 24/7.

What does Natalee Holloway have to do with CNN, James Carville, Robert Novak, Ed Henry, or this thread?

He's probably trying to show us how FNC fails.  
*looks at FNC's ratings during Holloway coverage*
 
Never mind, that can't be it. Must just be him trying to divert attention from Novak acting... strangly, to say the least, on CNN.
 
You know, in the past couple months, CNN keeps announcing the cancelling of shows, reformating, they shut down a sister network (CNNFI), meanwhile, FNC continues to hire and hire, and they're talking about STARTING another network.
 
No wonder he's trying to divert attention away from CNN!

Oh sure! How about when O'Reilly and that female producer traded lawsuits last Fall? Both CNN and MSNBC had a field day with cheap shots!
 
Always enjoy the comments about American media from "foreigners" John T and Hairy.

There's a new comment in that thread by someone named 'Frenchie'. I had to read it twice before it dawned on me that it was a put-on (and funny!)...but it was weird enuff to have been a real member of the kennel.

Someone named "Sharon" just replied to the "Frenchie" post giving a big thumbs up to it--I told you it was wacky enough to be from a real hound toadie, and apparently the real toadies don't even recognize when they're being parodied! LOL!
 
Of course, maybe Frenchie is serious and really thinks I have my own studio with lookalikes of the FOX staff so I can record and put up fake video clips to fool people into thinking the hounds got something wrong. But I gotta believe this is a Limbaugh-style parody and the kennel dwellers are just too dense to get the joke.

Looks like Sharon is annoyed that Frenchie stole her line: SOOOOOO etc.
 
I now have it on VERY GOOD authority that Frenchie IS the Brainless Troll (the man of many IP's).
 
They are SOOOOOO gullible.

Thanks for that info, Mike. How long will it take for the kennel dwellers to tumble to the fact that they are being ridiculed and don't know it?!?

I am reminded of HERALDO we found nothing in al capone's fault RIVERA. I am reminded of Hannity and colmes EVERYNIGHT. I am reminded of very little news on FOX AND FRIENDS. How bout "the number business news show on cable" your world with cavuto..yea, little business news on that show. He's had more porn stars on there than the playboy channel. Makes one wonder....... How bout O'reilly and GRETA "there's nothing else newsworthy but natalie holloway."  
 
Do the math, very little NEWS on FNC. ALL TALK RADIO ON TV. FNC couldn't would not make it if politics didn't exist. Repubs LOVE to sit around the TV and

Fox & Friends probably has five or six times as much news coverage as The Today Show, the flagship morning show for the prestigious NBC News Department. And "porn star" (in her own mind) Mary Carey has been appeared more times by far on Keith Olbermann's pseudo-newscast than she ever did with Cavuto.
 
But I'm sure you prefer CNN. Tune into Larry King for an hour on Dancing With the Stars. And don't miss his thrilling program on UFO abductees. Real news.

I found hairy's problem:
 
"Try a bad 5 years for the president AND US! I just got a new job after being unemployed for over a year. The sucky thing is the new job pays HALF of what my last job did. And to think Mr. Bush gets makes [sic] over 400, 000 $ a year...I will be lucky to top out at 12,000!"!

He can't find a job and he won't until the democrats are back in power and give him one!

Hairy...
- Yeah, Geraldo found nothing in Capone's vault. That has WHAT to do with Robert Novak acting childish?
- You're reminded of H&C everynight... 'Cause it's on M-F nights. 'Kay...
- Very little news on FOX & Friends? They cover a ton of news. They also take time for banter. It's a morning program, they do that.
- Little business news on Your World? You've never watched the show the whole way through, obviously! It is VERY business-centric. But Cavuto likes to focus on other things too. He believes that there is more to life than just money.
- And you OBVIOUSLY don't want O'Reilly or Greta, you just base what their entire programs cover based soley on promo's. O'Reilly RARELY devotes 2 segments to the same subject. And Greta usually has a couple blocks where she talks about other news as well.
 
But none of that has anything to do with ROBERT NOVAK or CNN. But Hairy likes to get off-topic.
 
Why is it that, in this whole leaked-agent's-name fiasco, Novak has been relativly unscathed? The libs tore Karl Rove apart, but haven't gone after Novak, who actually PUBLISHED the name. I just don't get it.

Simple answer, Charles:
 
They are so consumed with Bush hatred that they can't think straight.
