I've noticed something about Fox News Channel. It's always been there, but I've only noticed this recently.

They have not one minority news personality. Occasionally, they might have a minority pundit, like Michelle Malkin, but never a minority personality helming a show. I'm guessing the reason for this is to appeal to its audience...after all, I'm sure they don't want to be accused of using affirmative action!

I'm not calling for an Al Sharpton like evisceration; just some food for thought.

I try to avoid it as much as possible. However, I have a college-age brother who watches the channel enthusiastically when he's here at home. Also, for the past week, I've been working at a H&R Block booth at Wal-Mart, which frequently advertises Fox News on its closed circuit monitors.

I can't speak for the national news but as far as the local news, it may just be your news market. Here in Detroit, I would say more than half of the news anchors are african-american.

She's referring specifically to Fox News, the cable news channel. What does your local news channel have to do with this conversation? Absolutely nothing so retreat into your den of imbecility unless you have something worthwhile to contribute

Hey, shouldn't you be on the ground in Kirkuk or something, stenching the flow of Iraqi dissent, Rambo-style? Oh, right, YOU'RE A COWARDLY FAT ASS.

It's called Fox2 News Detroit ... a local affiliate that is just happens to be on cable. I don't even know that Fox runs a nationally syndicated cable news show a la CNN or MSNB. If it does, I have yet to see it. That is why I asked ... imbecile.

You knew about CNN and MSNBC, but you didn't know about Fox News? Are you a fucking Martian or something?

Listen very carefully. Although FOX is a national news network, it is a network of locally affiliated shows. Fox News Detroit broadcasts local Detroit news, and some national news. There is not a single Fox national new program, like CNN, that similiarly broadcasts the same national news over one station throughout the U.S. As I've said, If there is, I have yet to see it. I could be wrong and my cable service hasn't yet picked up this elusive Fox national news service. Prove me wrong. Give me a link to back up your statements. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong.

That's all you had to say negro! My cable service doesn't have it so it was simply a confusion in terms. No need to get all nasty about it.
