Foxnews...where media critters go to end their careers?
sorta like the old elephant boneyard?

where does one go after they bottom out at Fox?

that's where Geraldo ended up?

where does Alan Colmes go from there?

Hannity? will he take over for Dan Rather?

Whose place will Mara Liasson take?

Below the Beltway boys slip from McLaughlin to their little cess pit

where does poor Chris Wallace go from there. His daddy must be spinning in his grave (oops, he's not quite dead yet, is he...)

On the other hand, I guess with CNN getting as terrible ratings as they are, it might become a step up

How funny would it be to see one of those bimbettes take Judy Woodruff's place when her exoskeleton finally collapses like a black hole into itself?

1. Didn't Paula Zahn go from Fox to CNN?
I think Greta van Sustern went from CNN to FOX. Not that this proves or even means anything.

2. yeah, but she went from CBS to Fox
and I did say that some may go from Fox to CNN, as CNN slips further behind Faux into the MSMiasma

3. ones with a spine don't last on FOX
I remember when Col. Hackworth was one of their military analysts before the war and just after it started. I'm sure the wingnut chickenhawks didn't know who he was and assumed with his qualifications he was a freeper like them. Then he started speaking out on the shows against the war and how it was managed, and he was dumped faster than a hot potato. Then they turned to the two "former special forces" guys for military analysis, they toed the FOX line for a while, but then eventually started saying this war is really FUBAR. You never see them anymore either.

4. since when do reporters with chordata last anywhere?
You know the story of Robert Parry, for example?

they know which side their bread is buttered

did ANY of the major WH correspondents come up with any sort of story about Gannon?

think they ever will?

Look what happened to Ashleigh Banfield, for her minor set to with CNBC/MSNBC

Peter Arnett

Ray Bonner

Jason Leopold

drawing blanks, but there are quite a few others

not too mention the ones who REALLY had backbone, but they're taking the dirt nap
