Larry King keeps edging up and, on one occasion, beating Hannity and Colmes. Larry is not the draw, of course, but he continues to make good “gets.”
If FNC doesn’t get rid of the awful Alan Colmes, things are heading in a bad direction.

CNN needs to boot Wolf “repeats himself for emphasis” Blitzer to weekends only. Btw, John King’s been filling in this week.

Whats happening with f and f? The numbers have been dwindling lately. Cella, people tune into LKL for who larry has on not for the host. O yea, you;re use to FNC where the host/anchor/talking head is the star of the shows.

Stud, cella just stated it wasn’t Larry, but his guests, who garner the audience. And cella, yes, I think it’s time for Colmes to be put out to pasture.

Monday was one of Olby’s “Special Comments” that he coordinates (read: they write for him) with the blue blogs. Wonder what the Tues. numbers will hold.
