Video: Fox News Says Goodbye To Brit Hume
Today was Brit Hume’s last day anchoring “Special Report” on Fox News. Hume is pulling a Brokaw and semi-retiring. He says he’ll be back for special events and is looking forward to doing some commentary as well. Brit Hume has always been one of my favorite news anchors. “Special Report” is the best hard news program on television, because it’s one of the few honest broadcasts left.
Like the late Tony Snow, Brit Hume is a class act and will be missed.
Here’s a video the Fox people put together for Brit:

Video: ‘Red Eye’ Whacks Olbermann For ‘Homoerotic’ Obsession With Bill O’Reilly
‘Red Eye’ is one of the funniest shows on television. If you’re not watching it — you’re missing out.
Oh yeah, and Olbermann is a douche.

Hannity Goes Solo Starting Jan 12
Fox News has announced that no one will be replacing Alan Colmes on Hannity & Colmes. Instead, Fox plans to debut a brand new show on Jan. 12th called ‘Hannity’ with of course — Sean Hannity as the host.
However, it’s not just going to be a solid hour of right-wing bloviating like some feared:
“Hannity” will include a “Great American Panel” of three nightly in studio guests — a liberal, a conservative and an “X factor.” The show will mix commentary, interviews and special segment like a “Hate Hannity Hotline.”
This is the first time in FNC’s 12-year history it will alter programming at the 9pmET timeslot.
That actually sounds like it’s gonna be a pretty good show. Instead of the same liberal every night, he’ll be mixing it up with a variety of left-wingers. The Hate Hannity Hotline should be interesting as well.

Video: O’Reilly And Megyn Kelly Scream At Each Other
I’m a big fan of O’Reilly and always have been. But the one thing that irritates me is when he tells an expert on something that they’re wrong — when he doesn’t no what he’s talking about. Megyn Kelly is an attorney and an excellent one at that. So when Megyn tells O’Reilly what the law is and he says you’re wrong, it makes him look foolish.

Fox News: 83 Consecutive Months At #1
Here’s a little something to make the mindless Fox haters cry:
FNC has been the most-watched cable news channel for 83 consecutive months in both Total Day and prime time.
FNC was #3 in prime time and #4 in total day in all of basic cable. Fox News also retained the most viewership, post-election (Nov 4 vs. Nov. 5 - 30.) In Total day, FNC held 33% of its viewers, compared with 24% for MSNBC and 18% for CNN. In prime time, FNC retained 23% of viewers, MSNBC retained 19% and CNN held on to 10% of its Election Day audience.
Fox has also kept more of its viewers than the other networks — post election. Fox News is the best news channel on television. They have the best programming, the best talent, and the best coverage. All the crap about Fox being a “right wing network” is total BS.
The Pew Research Center’s Project For Excellence in Journalism released a study in October that clearly showed Fox News to be the most fair and balanced network — while MSNBC was the least.

Alan Colmes Is Leaving “Hannity & Colmes”
HuffPo is reporting that Alan Colmes will be leaving Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year. Colmes says he will remain with Fox News as a liberal commentator, and will soon unveil his own weekend program on the channel. In addition, Alan will continue hosting his radio program on Fox News Radio.
“I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming)
earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop
new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network,”
Colmes said. “Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest
marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I
remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so
many years.”
Sean Hannity had this to say about the split:
“Not only has Alan been a remarkable co-host, he’s been a great friend
which is rare in this industry — I’ll genuinely miss sparring with
such a skillful debate partner.”
Now the big question is who will replace Alan as the liberal half of Hannity & Colmes? It will be interesting to see if they choose someone from within Fox like Lanny Davis or Howard Wolfson, or if they plan to bring in new talent.
Even though I rarely agree with Alan, I think his part of the show is very important. I’m a big Hannity fan, but Sean has to have someone on the show to counter him. A little Hannity can go a long way depending on the topic being discussed. I’d like to see someone who’s as equally fierce an advocate from the left as Sean is from the right.
What makes Fox News the best cable news channel on television is the fact that you really do get to hear both sides. Unlike liberals, I actually enjoy hearing views I disagree with. Debate is a healthy thing. Debate is something you will never see on MSNBC. Unless it’s a debate between Matthews and Olbermann over who loves Barack Obama more.
