However, being the talented Producer that Peter Zorich is, I’m sure that his skills will be put to better use elsewhere!

Am I close? ;-) Piecing together the details from the various combatants in this thread, I conclude that FNC refuses to talk to TVNewser because Brian wore a hat filled with mold while taking a shot at asbestos sprayed with an illegal chemical.

But, I've seen them do serious interviews too and they do them well. While I think that FNC is miles ahead of CNN and MSNBC in terms of both quality and popularity, some fine tuning does need to take place. As for TV Newser, I'm not going to get into whether he is biased or not. My only comment is that he has a good site but is rather young;for the sake of his own self-interest, he should work to be "fair and balanced" with all the networks. He may need them for a job or a reference later. (and yes I know I sound really old; I am over 40 now) I agree that Jerrick and Huddy can go overboard sometimes trying to be cute and funny.

It was also the spraying of an illegal chemical to address a problems with bugs in the building. So Robert Cox was right to say you were talking out of your hat. I work there and know these things to be true though none of it has affected my health. It wasn’t asbestos Ira it was mold due to the extensive leaking.

Jerrick and Huddy aren't that professional during some subjects (especially today!) but it's something fun to watch at lunchtime where you can get your hard news and light fare at the same time. It's not like if breaking news occurs during the hour, they won't scrap whatever they have to go it immediately. I don’t know.

The two show hosts Huddy and Jerrick just aren't professional together (Huddy's fine when she works with others, but Jerrick is an embarrassment), and the show is quite mediocre altogether. It just seems very off putting to me when one second you're watching a report of a major bombing somewhere and the next is a segment about the Miami beach patrol with Huddy fawning all over two half naked men. Maybe if it was E! and not a news channel it would feel so stupid.

I think all these call of bias are just B.S. To say TVNewser is biased towards msnbc would be to ignore the quips he throws at them (deservedly so IMO).
