7Pm and I usually flip to all 3 networks just to see the opening. So piggy Tucker Carlson opens with "How come Flake didn't make a speech when Obama attacked FOX News?" These Rs are such bullies and at the same time little whiny babies. Please Oprah buy Fox News.....

I'm not sure what he's pissing and moaning about but

Roger Ailes, the Fox News chairman and CEO, has confessed that his network, despite its name, is not actually in the news business. Belittling his cable news competitors CNN and MSNBC, he gave the Reporter a statement revealing his true professional aspirations:
In fact, Ailes, 74, no longer views those networks as rivals. Were competing with TNT and USA and ESPN, he says.
Ironically, Fox News was labeled as an entertainment channel way back in 2007 by TV Guide, a magazine that was owned at the time by Rupert Murdoch. There was a reason that Murdoch might have deliberately categorized his own news channel as entertainment. It mainly centers around the fact that entertainment programming always outperforms news programming.
