Being a Luddite curmudgeon (meaning only that I'm lower on the curve than most of you and slower/more reluctant to adapt), I actually DID discover something...how to use my SXM app. on my phone Bluetoothed to my "Ecorox" to serve as a rather acceptable alternative source for FNC...was more than enough to get me through the DTs...and it expanded my audio listening options and curiosity significantly...!Nobody discovered anything. The viewers of the respective channels will go back to viewing them as they did before.![]()
Ooh, the new staff member is wielding his sword!![]()
Duly noted.
Hahaha, feels goooooood![]()
IIRC, back in the day he was quick to bust on Rey for the same thing...the god complex is already taking hold.![]()
You say this as if it's a good thing.Don't knock it. FBN has 3 hours of Imus weekday mornings.![]()
My god drives an Audi. Your god drives a BMW.And the most violent/contentious: my god against your god.

Fox News also is the clear leader in legs and short skirts and it isn't getting there by accident. Based on a biography of Roger Ailes, who founded and runs the network, the orders apparently come down from the top: short skirts, lots of leg!
"The topic of the dress code and makeup of Fox News' female personalities has long been the subject of scrutiny among writers. Fox News host Gretchen Carlson recently admitted that "pants were not allowed on Fox & Friend

Is the Fox dominance in the ratings a coincidence? I report. You decide.
The strategy seems to be working for the ultra-conservative Fox. The network has long been a mouthpiece for the Republican party and the Ailes-fueled right-wing fascination with exposed shapely legs may also help explain how we got Sarah Palin, who has nice legs, and not much else.
MSNBC is the mouthpiece for the Democratic party, but all of their female hosts sit behind a desk. Where the heck are the consultants on this one?
I understand the mantra that sex sells. And it clearly sells for Fox. I don't think we have reached NSFW yet, but it may well come once we start to see the legs of Wolf Blitzer or Bill O'Reilly.
Let's hope that day is a long, long way away.

Good! ( whoever that is.. Left)Gretchen said that, and someone who just recently left was very unhappy about the dress code....And she said it was written into her contract that any skirt had to be above her knees....
True. But you have to admit that Fox News may be a schooch bit partisan to one side.I don't think you get it at all. Most important, the women (and men) are all smart and qualified, Ailes wouldn't have it any other way. And, if you characterize the network's content as ultra-conservative, you must not be watching.![]()

It would be nice if Dish offered more English-language International news channels.
But I miss that hottie Diane Macedo!Don't knock it. FBN has 3 hours of Imus weekday mornings.![]()
It was good.
A bunch more people discovered that cnn, fox, and msnbc all regurgitate pap and bloviate the day away and more viewers broke their addictive watching habits.
Now they go for a walk or do something else that is productive.
Hopefully the fights will continue and a glimmer or hope remains that viewing costs will stabalize.
