The display of ignorance one sees here is always amazing to me.
Fox News is in the business of ratings, like any other news stations, like
See-BS, ABC News, NBC News, PMSNBC, BBC, etc. They select controversial
people to put on the air in an effort to increase viewership, not to deliver
better quality news or analysis. What I find interesting about Fox News is
that they have people from all points of view in front of the camera as
opposed to the monolithic presence on the other stations. Mind you, Fox
News is just as bad as all the others, perhaps except for the fact they
actually do not create news, or fake documents or blow up trucks, etc.
But, since you are in Canada, I'm surprised you are even familiar with Fox
News, I thought they would not let that station on because the open spot was
given to Al Jazeera instead.
So, Carly being on Fox News will certainly attract viewers, even if it's to
jeer at her. Increased viewership is the goal.
But I don't currently watch it and having Carly on will still not make me
watch it.

We can but hope that she will bring to Faux News the same passion for
excellence and inspirational leadership that she brought to
Hewlett-Packard. With any luck she will have an even greater effect on
Faux News than she had on H-P.
