OMG, John Heilman (sp?) is sitting in for Nicolle Wallace and they just did a segment the *change* in Steve Doocy on Fox and put together a clip of him in recent weeks pushing back on some of the crazies. Kind of weird seeing John and his panel having to say something good about a Fox host :batting:

Is it possible Doocy has seen enough?
Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews wrote: Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy points out that the FBI director Christopher Wray was appointed by Donald J. Trump. He then points out how dangerous it is to have highly sensitive classified documents in an unsecured location. Did Doocy get a memo the rest of Fox News didn't get?

Sorry, I didn't clarify that. :oopsy:

I think AWE was around before OAN, but I could be wrong about that. We watched AWE somewhat, and I don't remember OAN always being there.

AWE was formerly Wealth TV and predated OAN by close to ten years (2004 for AWE, 2013 for OAN.) Same family, same company though.

Thanks. I had forgotten it was Wealth TV.

I had not noticed they went away. Shows how much I watched. I think I once checked to figure out what this AWE thing was on my channel list. Oh, they were Wealth TV before that. All I knew about that channel was the name Wealth, which almost got the Channel schedule list version of being Baned, "hide". I figured it was another one of the many shopping channels or some "let us make you jealous of your lack of wealth" channels, which I guess it was.

A few of those were cool; mostly not. My husband already misses The Road Less Traveled.

Because the US Attorney in the district is still a US Attorney, that means that Biden is directing everything they do. In the latest incident this morning, Biden ordered the US Attorney to go potty.

Decided to listen to Fox and see how they're covering all the stuff that's going in in tfg guy's world. Outnumbered at start of the hour, they've been talking about President Biden being rebranded as Aviator Joe. For realz.

Harris Faulkner just had a panel on dissing Biden for taking more vacation trips than tfg (they gots the numbers!!!). Then they went on that even while tfg took a lot of trips to his golf clubs, he was working! Working! Working! Biden, on the other hand doesn't even seem to work when he's at the WH (paraphrasing). Of course, one of the panel had to bring up the SC trip and the 20M MANSION!!

As long as you remove all the Vacations Trump took, Biden has taken more vacations.

No surprise, same for Bush. All the trips he took to his ranch were working trips, but when Obama went to Hawaii, well that was outrageous.
