Are Mike Wallace and Brit Hume the Only Ones Still Defending Pres. Bush?
Does Anyone Listen to Fox News Anymore?
Where Was Tony Snow?
Talk-Shows Appear as the Only Protectors of this Country, Conservative Journalists on National Scene Are Asleep
            Although the above headlines sound pessimistic to many conservatives, they are in reality announcing a new revolution.
            U.S Senate is a burden. Many observers are saying that Senators must be elected every two years, just like the House of Representatives. We amended the U.S. Constitution in 1913 under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt and other Progressives. They allowed the voters to elect Senators, instead of each state legislature as had previously been the law. This diminished the power of the Senators, but it has not corrected the problem as we see incumbents like Sen. Kennedy (D) and Orrin Hatch (R) able to stay almost forever, just like the House of Lords in England, way past the required retirement of all jobs in the public and private sector,   
            Television networks will lose power. Fox News will crumble as that $57 billion empire continues to succumb to the lure of higher profits from movies and other show business. They will continue to force-out conservatives like Brit Hume and Mike Wallace.
            The winners will be local talk show hosts. Local talk-show hosts will continue to  build a strong rapport with their audiences. The larger network talk shows will not do as well as they will be tempted to yield to the same pressures which are damaging Fox.

          Fox News’ Chris Wallace Was On Fire Last Friday Morning
            Those who heard Chris Wallace speaking last Friday morning on the Mike Gallagher Show heard an impassioned man.
            Both Wallace and Gallagher were very excited about the 110 Republican Congressman who are demanding a stronger bill on illegal immigration than the Senate has passed. The Congressmen are under the leadership of Mike Pence, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee. (Read all of Mike Pence's speech on Immigration delivered to the Heritage Foundation HERE).
            But when “Fox News Sunday” aired on Sunday morning  (evening in Boston), the powerful people in New York City mandated that Wallace could have only Senators as guests. No Congressmen!
            Of course, that was not announced to viewers and almost no one understands that New York has complete control over Wallace’s show.
            In addition, the panel that was picked by the people in New York to be on Wallace’s show (besides Brit Hume) were Nina Easton, well-known to us in Boston as a former employee of Pinch Sulzberger’s Boston Globe. She is the one who wrote about Dick Cheney’s hunting accident in the Boston Globe and compared it to Sen. Kennedy’s crimes at Chappaquiddick. She has just joined Time-Warner as Washington correspondent of Fortune magazine. Other panelists were Juan Williams of NPR and Bill Kristol, the neoconservative Publisher of the Weekly Standard, who uses his father’s money (William Kristol) to buy influence at Fox and damage Hume.
