I'm glad Colmes is leaving. Now there won't be that facade of balance that FOX is so keen on promoting.

Do you really think they will ever match Sean up with someone who is assertive and knows there stuff?

Never.

Any time Sean has had to face someone like that, he melts into a bumbling fool. He's a bigger paper tiger than Limbaugh---and that's saying something!

If Hannity goes solo and recreates that terrible "Hannity's America" show he will not be on the air for long.  I think this is the beginning of the end of Hannity.

Now his TV show will be even more repetitive.  It is will not watchable like his show is not listen-able.  Imagine 8 years of "Who is Barack Obama" episodes.  His Obama obsession will eventually be his downfall.

We had Alan on our conservative station here in Fargo... I think the callers were very respectful as well as our host, Scott Hennen.
Alan did real well and is staying on radio as long as he can. This is one Liberal who is always welcome on "The Flag".

It's great we offer an alternative view the big thing is Liberal talker Ed Schultz critisized Alan's move on a local version of his show.

In my own opinion The Fairness Docterine can go away because even carrying 3 hours of an opposing view during "Prime Time"
should be plenty. Then again Passion is what most people with an opposing view think of as "Hate Talk".
I'm certain most talk stations see plenty of listener mail or e-mail that critisizes their programming or topics.

Can anyone relate to this?

I like Hannity's radio show and we have zip in common politically. He's good with his callers,straight up about his views,and fair with his guests.

TV is another matter. I don't think he comes across that well on the small screen. He seems to stiffen up and gives off hard edged presentation.

It may just be a classic case of radio face? The guy looks like a bulldog ready to attack. It's possible that image carries over in viewer minds.
