      What has happened to Greta??? I used to love watching her show, but ever since the last election, she's become the female Sean Hannity. I remember when Rupert Murdoch was asked who FNC's liberal commentators was, he answerd Alan Colmes and Greta Van Susteren. Well what kind of "liberal commentator" puts on her show Dick Morris, Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, all the while AGREEING with them or not even challenging their viewpoints slightly. I used to respect Greta, but she's gone way too far.

          Some people also just go bad. They spend too much time with fanatical ideologues and it rubs off on them.

        My guess is she is taking marching orders from management.

        Fox News stars judging other cable news channels' coverage of their tea bag road show.  I don't know what to say.  Amazing.  Just amazing.

      I do think Roesgen was a bit out of line. Not much different than anyone at FOX.

      Greta,

      Was Sean doing Showbiz in Atlanta or just gathering facts?  He needed his mic hooked up to a PA system?  You have no clue what was said to Roesengen not picked up by her mic.  Do you think Obama is a Fascist or like Hitler like the first guy she interviewed?  Or do you agree with this sign he was carrying?

      Or thsis one Greta?  Would you have just kept your cool and tried to flatter him by saying how "artistic" he is?  This is the same guy Roesgen interviewed?
