1. Americans are fed up with Republican lies

No doubt about it. Sean Chickenhawk Hannity (R) is reaping the karma he deserves, falling falling falling. No one like an outed Republican propaganda pimp who tells lameass lies for money.

3. Little difference between The real fox shows & SNL skits...

I find it hard to believe that people actually watch Fox news for any reason other than comedy... Actually when they try to be funny they are not.. That guy on the five & the people on that red eye are soooo BAD! I put it on once in a while for a few minutes to get me motivated to fight against them and all that they believe in...

4. Rachel is downright objective, articulate and

brilliant in how she reports.

I have tremendous respect for her intellect.

5. If MSNBC keeps this up...

If MSNBC keeps this up, Hannity and O'Reilly and Van Susteren will jump ship from Faux News to MSNBC.

Those guys have their priorities, you know ;~0

6. Or Fox might slip in a liberal show?

More of a moderate republican, not totally liberal. Baby steps.
