Pretty in Pinko
Laura Ingraham has been running a very close second (with Mark Levin pulling up third) as my favorite radio talk show host. Lately, she's been on the O'Reilly factor almost weekly and has subbed for Bill for the last two Fridays.
I personally think she should get a one hour weekly show on HBO to combat Bill Maher's echo chamber. Check out how she deals with the woman who was thrown out of Congress during PM Maliki's address (picture and video courtesy of Ms. Underestimated, click on the picture to watch).
Newsbusters has a write-up on it's Friday Night Fights feature.
It also appears that Laura might be the conservative response to Jon Stewart:
> Update: 5:07pm: FNC programming VP "Bill Shine is testing several pilots, and this is one of them," an FNC spokesperson says...
Last week, TVNewser asked if Fox was working on a show pilot styled after Jon Stewart's Daily Show on Comedy Central. Then yesterday, TVNewser asked if conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham was at FNC shooting something over the weekend.
The answers are yes and yes, and they're apparently related. An anonymous tipster says Ingraham's pilot is known as "Watch This Right Now." The tipster calls it "an absolutely terrible rip off of Daily Show" including a "music and video montage" and "mouth replacement of known news figures." (Huh?) "They want to keep it a secret so they hired all freelance tech people," the tipster adds. "The writers and producers should be embarassed to show this one to Roger."
I would take the characterization of the pilot with a grain of salt. "Tipsters" are generally people with an axe to grind.
Personally, I think Jon Stewarts show is a little tired and they should try something that's just as funny, but a little more saavy (something that does not encourage voter apathy).
