I wonder when Lou Dobbs will make the transition. He must be very lonely at the Commie News Network.

Fantastic!! Now — Get rid of Shep, O’Reilly, Hannity, and Greta in one fell swoop. Bring in Lou Dobbs, and here’s my ideal lineup:

Cavuto at 5:00
Dobbs at 6:00
Baier at 7:00
Beck at 8:00
Malkin at 9:00
Stossel at 10:00

Never watched Greta, but I can remember when I used to watch O’Reilly and Hannity.

O’Reilly is the highest rated new show, he’s not going anywhere.

Stossel is a good match for Fox. It’s time he got off the sinking ship.

Welcome. Stossel is great!

Good thing he’s not a woman, Fox would make him bleach his hair!!! HA!

Julia Bandaras (sp?) is the only brunette I can think of on Fox. Even Patty Ann has lightened her locks!

Well, Shep does have two (2) shows in the afternoon. He might enjoy giving up one of them. Ya think??

Right after he gives up his mirror and comb…

Let’s face facts; the other networks are toast! I would hate to be a sales guy trying to sell time at NBC. Anybody worth their salt will be at FOX, period. Frankly, I’d give Sarah Palin her own show! Remind me to call Roger.

IMHO, Stossel is a great addition. Shep and O’Reilly need to get canned and Julia Hutty, or Slutty whatever her name is needs to go as well.

I will be curious to see how much of a ratings dip ABC shows as a result of his leaving.

I agree with the earlier poster who said O’reilly better watch his back also. I am REALLY getting tired of his sucking up to the libs as of late. Maybe it’s time for a replacement. He scoffs at Beck but that would be great if he ever got his spot

I feel the same way about BO. I stopped watching regularly a long time ago. Now it seems when I watch he’s a devil’s advocate for Obama. And he’s gotten worse about not letting guests talk. He doesnt hold liberals accountable like he used to do. If there’s nothing good on the Comedy Channel, I might watch Bill.

According to the article MM quotes, it sounds like Fox has no plans to give Stossel his own show on Fox News. I think that’s about right. Stossel is best when he’s out in the field getting stories and then presenting them on someone else’s show.

The fence-sitter O’Reilly isn’t going anywhere. His ratings are too good – he’ll be in place until he decides to leave, or until his ratings tank.

Unfortunately, Hannity probably isn’t going anywhere either. Hannity does some good work, but frankly, he’s way too strident in his presentation for me – not entertainingly “I’ll give the impression that I’m borderline crazy but I’m going to nail you with the facts” like Beck is – he’s just almost over-the-top partisan, kind of like the right’s version of Huffington. He just irritates me for some reason.

All that said, here’s the line-up I’d like to see on Fox:

6:00 Bair with the news
7:00 Lou Dobbs. Get him out of lib-land and start building the audience for . . .
8:00 Beck. Perfect time slot for maximum exposure.
9:00 Rotating hostesses: Ingraham, Malkin, MK Ham. Let them work out their schedules with each other and do the tv gig when it works best for them.
10:00 Dennis Miller. Give him a regular gig, let him bring his perspective/humor to all the day’s news.

Let Stossel come on whatever show/shows would best fit the story he would currently be working on.

Just what I’d like to see.

Ann Coulter proved O’Reilly is far too gullible re Obama. Welcome John Stossel. ‘Bye Shep, Bob & Geraldo!

On the subject of tv

The left again has done what it does. Gone after Becks advertisers and scared off as many as it can.

When are we going to learn?

This tactic works

I say we accept that and focus our collective energy on MSNBC and their advertisers. It is time we met the challenge and returned to them that which they continue to serve up to our side

John Stossel specials was the only time I ever watched ABC. I am thrilled that he will be part of Fox.
I have been a fan of Bill O’Reilly since he began, but like a lot of you, I have noticed a change in his show. Why do we have to endure Marc Lamont Hill?
How long into the O’Reilly show will we see the nudes with the block-out banners, or the bikini clad bimbo’s? Also Bill has become an apologist for Obama. My fervor for Bill has turned into frustration. I don’t know if he has gotten lazy,too secure in his position, or maybe he is a closet liberal, but I sure miss the piss and vinager that was there, and now it seems more like kool-aid.

Also I have gained some respect for Greta, I believe she is becoming a mild conservative, but God I wish she could talk!

It is my hope that Stossel continues to do what he does best.

Research and analyze

Look inside the story and report back what he sees

I want him to examine both sides and show what lies beneath

Unlike the left I am not afraid of self examination, I know we on the right need ourselves held up to a mirror occasionally.

I say to John welcome and get to work
