FOX NEWS - SEX SCANDAL - LOSS OF RESPECT

I am ...or was a Fox News addict. Bought it all: 7 am news break right on through O'Reilly. Loved it, even took notes. Just thought I'd that up front.
     Now, on to this sex thing going on at Fox. No One appreciates the ladies more than I do. No one. I am of the old school, a gentleman, one must ask first.  I know, I sound like a Boy Scout, but it works. And the ladies love you for it.

Are you with me?
     I don't like how this sex scandal is being handled at Fox. They are trying to bury it, cover it up, and on-air, pretend it doesn't exist. That's NOT to their benefit.
     They juggle staff around the schedule, make up new programming, so far, so good, and continue whistling through the graveyard hoping no one will notice. The competition will. It (the suspicions, the stories, the whispers, the wonderings) will not go away. Think of the last time this happened and the man/men clammed up. Yeah, we're still wondering, right? Still.
     Someone at Fox has got to do the right thing by these women, and tell the whole story.  There has to be a FULL disclosure by an impartial reporter, interviewing everyone, telling everything that's going on so that the public can absorb the gravity of what we perceive as the " fall from grace" that our favorite cable channel has experienced
     Don't think so? A few of the women that have left-some viewers may have differing views with, political views notwithstanding. But, Greta? C'mon. I swore by Fox, now, not so much. Where do I go for ' The Truth ' now?
     Do it, Fox. pull the trigger, otherwise, those much ballyhooed figures will begin to melt away.  You heard it here.

" THE NO-SPIN ZONE" --- TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Bill O'Reilly mentioned something the other day that got me to thinking: " it was a different world."
      Amen. That's been gnawing at me. I was raised in the 40s grew up during the 50s and 60s. Different world then.  Back then, I didn't know anybody with a gun. Now, I don't know anybody who doesn't own one.  Back then, the girl on the block who was " easy," was known by all the boys. Today, the virgin on the block is known by every boy and she probably doesn't get asked to the dance.
      Back then in south Philly, everybody avoided the mob and their influences like the plague. Today, young kids like to dress up like them, carry stilettos, and make fun of their names, like "Snub nose Frankie."  Way back then, if you were depressed or in the dumps, you went to the ball game, bar or saw your girl friend for the night. Today, the single most popular perscription drug in the Pacific Northwest is Zoloft. They hand the stuff out all over the country like candy.
      When I was a kid, a girl who got pregnant and wasn't married practically got drummed out of the neighborhood. Today, she gets a movie contract or her own Reality TV show.
      In times gone by newspaper reporters, (Huntley/Brinkley?), doctors, POTUS, and others were considered among the more trusted by the public. Today they rank at or below used car salesmen according to nationally acclaimed credibility research foundations.
      The times, they are a changing. So, that leaves us with - whom do we trust?
