UPDATE: Now Bill O'Reilly is cracking back at the NYT, crying hypocrisy because they drew an angry-looking caricature of him last year. Evidently O'Reilly doesn't understand the difference between a drawing and a photograph -- that you can't "alter" a drawing. Nor does he understand that caricature works only with celebrities. The audience knows well that the celebrities don't really look like the drawings of them. By contrast, the only reason Fox put up the images of the unknown NYT reporters was to distort their facial features. With such lies, it is no wonder Fox News is on the decline.

UPDATE 7/9/08: Can you believe these anti-Semites deliberately altered the photos of two reporters this morning in order to represent them as "attack dogs"? And then publicly aired such thoughts as "I wonder if he's going to show him at Westminster this year"? The reporters had written about Fox's declining membership, and so the network responded by grotesquely enlarging their noses (failing, of course, to acknowledge the change): Disgraceful. Were this any other network, such behavior would earn a pink slip tout de suite. Oh wait, I forgot. This is Fox. ORIGINAL REVIEW (3/19/2008): Painfully lame, but then so is almost EVERY morning news show, regular CNN occasionally excepted. Fox & Friends exemplifies the slide of news shows into mediocrity, which began with Regis and has continued with that latest Fox knockoff, the CNN Headline News channel. The fact that the robotic "banter" of these Prozac-fried cornballs is sometimes on the tube when I hit the gym made me almost completely give up working out. Doocy et al. are as cheery and cheesy as the waiter in Office Space who opines that "someone has a case of the Mondays," but on second thought at least the latter can bring me Tchotchke's jalapeno poppers ... I had to look up the name of the other hosts, because the utterly insignificant Brian Kilmeade has been permanently stamped with Stephen Colbert's tag "The guy who is not Steve Doocy" ...
