As a political analyst and commentator.

Unfortunate that Steve Schmidt came out on 60 Minutes last night, and said publically that she has a problem telling the truth, and still does. But I doubt that will affect her FoxNews audience.

Her press release says she's so proud to be part of a "fair and balanced" news station.

There is absolutely no emoticon for what I am thinking about this right now

Analysts and commentators give opinions. Like her or not she is a big name, has a solid base of supporters and will create buzz. Fox is a business and ratings do matter and she will almost certainly help in that area.

i already don't watch, her hiring won't change that. i don't care for her at all. but cannon's right, she'll attract viewers. as for the dialogue between pointman and god...this is why we don't have much discussion about race. as soon as anyone tries to say anything, they're shouted down by someone as being a racist. i doubt that harry reid was giving an opinion on his own thinking-but i think he's correct when he says that obama had a better shot than some would because of his look and bearing. i'm not quite sure how that means reid is a racist-but he certainly is smart enough to know they exist. and there's no comparison imo between his comments and lotts. lott said that had we elected thurmond, we wouldn't have so many problems-thurmond ran as a segregationist. lott appeared to be condoning that stance by what he said.

edit~ as an aside, joe biden said of his then-opponent that obama was clean and articulate, among other words he used. is that racist? obama must not think so, he chose biden for his running mate.

Fox is already the most watched cable news channel, has been for some time.

As long as she reads what they write for her, she'll be fine. It won't matter that she thinks Africa is a country. She's on Bill O'Reilly tonight.
