They're not going to change and if one is fired they will be swapped out for a worse one. Better to demand apologies on a case by case than to try to get them fired.

2. This Story Has Legs
The next stage is FAUX , CNN, and the MSM is going to say what a reprobate Shuster is... He's done...

4. Go ahead and get Shuster fired. That, too, has blowback but I don't guess
you guys have thought that far ahead, have you? Seriously, think about it.

6. What are you, a media enforcer?
Back off of Shuster, or we'll get nasty? Is that it?

I rather have Dan Rather than Shuster but, hey, the bushies torpedoed him real good.

And I don't see any blowback from that.

7. I'll Take More Positive Coverage From FAUX And CNN In Exchange For MSNBC
Now they will go out of their way to be fair to distinguish themselves from MSNBC...

And even their best hours are second and third to CNN and FAUX...
