136. No Al Jazeeras, HuffPos, MSNBCs

Jan 2013

I'm for waiting and seeing. He could be a refreshing change. I'm not a fan of Alan Colmes or Bob Beckel, but I actually think Kirsten Powers sounds like the sane one in the group when she speaks. I think Dennis will come across as knowledgeable and give a predominately right leaning audience a "different" point of view.

Maybe he didn't want to work for an MSNBC or Current. I would think it would be more fun to debate differing opinions than to spend all day long with people who think just like me. I think it's a bold move. I think he'll stick to his positions. I don't have to agree with everyone all the time. Maybe it will help Fox users.

They may be losing viewers, but they still have a boat load of them. If there are minds that need changing, I say go to that location and speak. I hope he does well. And, if things go south...after the disclosure agreement wears out, he can come out and share the dirt on Fox.

Win/Win
