That's why she gets on these legal kicks and obsesses about missing people. She was involved in that Bhopal Case involving Union Carbide in India when her partner signed up all those illiterate Indians to retainer agreements. O'Reilly, does try and stay middle right. He gives people on the left credit when they deserve it and slams people on the right when they deserve it. I love seeing him get Barney Frank all worked up, no one else seems to be able to get him that mad. Hannity is the Republican mouthpiece, no doubt about that, but he does allow opposing views on his show. Glenn Beck is great theatre. Geraldo likes to preen for the cameras. Huckabee has an interesting show which while right wing has gets some very good guests. Chris Wallace is the best Sunday Q&A shows around. Fox and Friends is entertaining and leans right and offsets CNN, Good Morning America, the Today Show, CBS Morning and the Morning Joe. I remember Steve Doocey on local TV when he started and having to do trips to the zoo and stuff and he made them entertaining.
Huckabee's show is so interesting to me because he seems to be a sensible person in the first place. Once he was having an abortion discussion and brought up the fact that you just can't say no to abortion across the board, but encourage counseling with doctors, ministers, and parents. A very sensible answer in a very crazy world. If he were to run again I would probably vote for him.

by far, and note how Obama is not going on his show for his Sunday Media Blitz. Wallace will ask some tough questions and no doubt something about ACORN

RE: Jimmy Carter now chimes in
Joining Jimmy Carter on "Idiot Island" is Congressman Hank Johnson.. Cynthia McKinney's successor in the Georgia 4th Congressional District. He basically called Joe Wilson a Klansman.
His words of wisdom...
Racist’ a term that must be applied cautiously
1:04 pm September 16, 2009, by Jay
As I noted yesterday, U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson said something pretty stupid and inflammatory about his colleague from South Carolina, Joe Wilson, regarding Wilson’s outburst during President Obama’s health-care speech to Congress:
”It did not help the cause of diversity and tolerance with his remarks. If I was a betting man, I’d say it instigated more racist sentiment, feeling that it’s OK, that you don’t have to bury it down,” Johnson said. “I guess we’ll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside, intimidating people. That’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked.”
That’s just nonsense, and it’s completely unfair to Wilson. Opposition to Obama’s health-care plan is not by any means evidence of racism, and it is wrong to imply otherwise. In fact, “racism” is such a powerful charge that it should never be leveled lightly. Using the charge in an effort to silence criticism, as some have done, is wrong and destructive and cheapens the stigma of real racism.

I was going to say you are by far the most unintelligent POS on this board but I can't. Paul, Trippy, Rebel and Torchy are right up there with you.

True(well, he WAS for keeping the southern flag flying over the capitol in SC and is apparently involved in a pro-sucession group) he did infer that. But he also infered most of the righties on this board are too. He was correct.

Greta's not a tool of the left or right ... she's a $cientologist. That just makes her a tool.

She is an OT-5 just like Tom Cruise

There's a market for shows like Greta, Nancy Grace, etc. Dedicated to following OJ, Anna Nicole, Natalie Holloway cases/mysteries.
That said, she may get replaced at some point by Glenn Beck or Michelle Malkin or someone along those lines.

When Nancy Grace gets on her wild horse and her nostrils start flairing-- it looks scary.
I think Greta will be replaced by Megyn Kelley in a couple of years.

Very possible, if Beck continues to get the ratings he gets at 5pm(Rush Hour), somebody will want to try him in Prime Time. He's partly a product of the extreme left taking power though, once that changes Beck's appeal will fall some.

Greta might be good at what she does, but what she does is not really news, she's just doing what that tool Geraldo did years ago only cleaned up a little. It's a waste of an hour of programming.

Hmm. She must make more money than I thought she would for a second rate talk show hack.
