Who stays and who goes at FOX News

[meegbear]

To quote Steve Doocy, this is huuuge! Well, maybe not, but it is (to quote Arte Johnson) verrrry interesting.

Julie Banderas, posing as a media analyst on the O'Reilly Factor 1/30/07 said "NBC has lost over two million viewers since Peter Jennings stepped down. And then Tom Brokaw, his show has lost about, uh, I don't know, two million viewers." Peter Jenning died 8/7/05 and Brokaw retired 12/1/04.

Obama admitted to cocaine use "as did our current president, who admited to cocaine use, correct?" said Kiran Chetry. After Doocy and Napolitano interrupted, Chetry backpedaled, saying, "Who was it that said they witnessed him doing cocaine?" Still not getting any support from her co-hosts, Chetry gave up and the trio went on to paint Obama in as negative a light as possible. 1/3/07

So one is grossly ignorant of her topic and the other is off-message and brings up things better left unsaid. Guess which one showed up on CNN American Morning today?

2. What?

Which one showed up on CNN. Did I miss something? Did Fox fire someone who got hired at CNN? Forgive my slowness.

4. Her contract was not renewed after it was clear she was leaving.

You can call that getting fired, but it is a clear case of "You can't quit, you're fired!"

and was hired by CNN.

6. Shhh...They're On A Roll

Didn't ya know little things like the truth and facts have little merit when it comes to sliming a target?

Of course there's no mention of the nearly 50% drop in Faux Noises' viewership in the past 2 years.

The letter Faux sent to the talent agent is nasty...seems like the parting wasn't "harmonious".

5. Peter Jennings was on ABC

7. coming up next: the Kiran Chetry deathwatch (well, termination watch anyway)

Obviously they won't kill someone for saying th president did coke. They'll only kill you if you actually witness it.

9. My favorite Julie Banderas story...

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/233611p-200636c.html

If the Fox van's rockin', don't come knockin'.

Apparently WNYW news reporter Julie Banderas likes to have a little fun after she signs off the air.

And yes, there are pictures — which appear to be taken inside the Fox 5 Live truck. There's one of Banderas (beer in one hand, cigarette in the other) straddling a man in the front seat, their crotches pressed together and her ankles wrapped around his head. The man (identified by one source as a married male colleague) appears to be simulating a sex act.

Then there's the one of her against the instrument panel, with another cigarette, only this time she's holding the beer in her cleavage.

And did you know she can lick her own chest with her unusually long tongue?

A rep for Fox 5, who saw the pictures, told me sternly: "We are looking into it."

Party pooper.
