Sick Irony- Fox News Shoe In To Take Helen’s Front Row Seat   
   
TVNewser has learned CNN White House correspondent and White House Correspondents Association officer Ed Henry will vote for Fox News to take over the front row White House briefing room seat vacated earlier this week with the abrupt resignation of Helen Thomas.

Henry is one of three officers on the WHCA, the others being Ed Chen of Bloomberg and David Jackson of USA Today. Other board members include Doug Mills of The New York Times, Steve Scully of C-SPAN, Don Gonyea of NPR, Julie Mason of the DC Examiner and Caren Bohan of Reuters.

CNN only got a front row seat after the renovations of the James S. Brady briefing room in 2007. CNN was awarded the seat due to seniority -- 27 years on the air at the time. We're told Fox News supported the move then. And now, as the #1 cable news network and almost 14 years on the air, this may be FNC's time.

Gah!

5. No irony, just a fix that's in.
   
Further corporate takeover of the infotainment industry, deeper burial of what used to be a news industry.

Even though I do share this sentiment expressed by you and Revolution, PG actually brings up a good point.  The DUmb****s' heads would be rotating 360 degrees at 5000+ rpm, for months.  Hook 'em up to an electic generator, and there'd be no brownouts in the US for years.

Sure the head spinning would be fun to watch, the same if Matthews and Olbermann were hired by Fox, but after the fun of watching the meltdown over it my beautiful news channel would be impossible to watch.
