Mike Huckabee/Spike Lee 2012!

Mike Huckabee sucks, I stopped watching Fox News. The only people they have left that have any brains are Hanity and Meagan Kelly. The rest of the staff have moved left week after week after week. It is like re-education camp watching Fox News. They trap you by being truthful, and once you trust them, they start telling small lies, then larger ones.

I would continue to watch Fox except for the fact that even though Sean Hanity is smart, he very frequently gets too stuck on making the same point so many times that he never lets a guest actually say something meaningful anymore. Meagan Kelly is only on occassionally so, watching just to get her insights is hit or miss. I got better things to do than watch CNN light (Obama News? Network).
