Fox News Channel will not renew a contract with weekend host Rita Cosby, as the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on an extension, the network said.

Cosby hosted "The Big Story Weekend Edition With Rita Cosby" at 9 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday at 6 p.m. she hosted "Fox News Live With Rita Cosby."

1. For those of us that don't watch FAUX , please explain why we should care.

:)

[donheld]

26. I'm with DRoseDARs on this one

:rant: Who the hell is "Rita Cosby" and why should i care what Fox does with her. :banghead:

[LeighAnn]

36. I like her, she reminds me of Doris Day

Not that I ever caught much of her act. I hope she writes a tell-all expose. Good riddance and best wishes.

[leftchick]

39. surprisingly Doris Day is a repuke

Given her love of animals and the environment you would think she would know whom to vote for. :eyes:

[splat@14]

32. Yep, good start. Now cancel the rest of the schedule. n/t

[sonicx]

2. Good. she sucks.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

3. Coming soon: "The Big Story Weekend Edition With Dennis Miller"

CHA-CHA, BABY!



:puke:

[Maddy McCall]

6. Or "The Big Story Weekend Edition with Chan Chandler"

[MnFats]

22. is that chandler? you know, he looks like (from the parallel universe...)

where good people are evil and evil, good (Star Trek, South Park)
this guy is Paul Wellstone from Hell.
Hell, he's even got the evil goatee.

(hey, don't get pissed, I've always been a fan of Paul's...)

[Bozita]

7. ding ding ding ... We have a winner!

THAT makes sense.

[MarianJack]

9. Hey Bozita!

I hope you mean Maddy's idea, not the putz in the picture! :hi:

[Bozita]

11. This Chandler guy has tremendous potential as a professional asshole

future hall-of-famer.

If I'm hiring at Fauxnews, I'd want Chandler. Think of the bumper music possibilities.

Miller's a bit too vulgar for a good Christian-American teevee audience. And, ... he's already a hall-of-famer.

[central scrutinizer]

40. they could "balance" the show by adding Roy Moore

nfm

[nine30]

12. Coming soon: Rita Cosby Live - CNBC

ok, maybe not. But I don't know why Miller didn't get hired by FOX right from the start. Were they suspicious of his liberal past..or were they afraid they wouldn't have full control over what he said and he could cross the line now and then with something outrageous.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. I think it's going to be tough for Rita...

...because she's very, VERY annoying and really has NO discernible talent. She was a Fox talking head, and they are a dime a dozen. I really believe that Fox will make a home SOMEWHERE for Miller, but I can see Rita doing 3:00 AM infomercials for the Lifetime network as her next gig.



Really, really, really, REALLY annoying.

[ebayfool]

25. Or MSNBC - they took on another reject, Monica Crowley ... so I'm sure

that someone in charge of hiring there has a 'taste' for this kind of (shudder) 'journalist'!

[Coexist]

38. Ewww - Monica Crowley - I only had to watch Coast-to-Coast

once to dislike her. She is very pretty - but the mean look on her face is ugly-scary. And she had it on the ENTIRE time.

I don't watch any more - I have to protect my children, you know.

[NuttyFluffers]

28. reminds me of an SNL character...

i'm half expecting her to snap her head forward and have the hair do a delayed follow-up. either that or say, "simma dahn nah"

[gulfcoastliberal]

34. Agreed. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me...

She must smoke some serious packs per day. Not that I watch any cable news anymore, but if I'm suffering insomnia it's nice to know I won't hear her voice as I channel hop.

[PennyLane]

27. Insufferable Bore........

......he couldn't make it with the liberal crowds, so he turned on us because Republicans will laugh at ANYTHING. Particularly, if it involves Dem-bashing. He must be sleeping with somebody important
because he is neither witty or handsome, but somehow, he keeps finding
work! :eyes:

[davidinalameda]

4. I'm sure she'll land somewhere

what's the Middle Eastern TV network called?

[Lord_StarFyre]

5. Ah, too bad for Rita...

boo whoo

[MarianJack]

8. Too Bad I Didn't Have Baked Beans For Dinner.

I could have more appropriately expressed my sympathy if I had!

[Catshrink]

10. What's with her voice anyway?

whenever I caught her drivel when flipping channels it seemed so scratchy and squeaky. Was it always like that?

[nine30]

13. Actually some people find that sexy.

[calimary]

18. Her voice always bothered me, too.

Good riddance! Never liked her anyway. Let me guess - now that Judy Woodruff is bailing, "lovely Rita" will probably turn up at CNN. Then she and Paula Zahn can compare presidential knee pads... :evilgrin:

[Mike Daniels]

35. She always had this breathless delivery style from my perspective

Like she couldn't wait to get to whatever "if it bleeds it leads" story was next on the teleprompter. I couldn't stand more than about 2 minutes of her "reporting" at a time.

[jobycom]

14. If she's cute, she'll get another job

The only way female "journalists" lose their careers is if they get less perky.

"Journalist" is not the same as journalist. Most of the latter lose their jobs as soon as they transition from "journalist" to journalist. They then get jobs making french fries.

[SF Bay Area Dem]

16. Cute? She is a lardass!

Back in the dark-days when I watched Faux her "news" stories were always "sources this" and "sources that"... all gossipy bullshit!

[MADem]

30. I think you hit the nail on the head, she was fired because she is getting

quite fat. That isn't fair, of course, the males are permitted to be big as houses, but the women, no.

Her screwed-up politics (or maybe stupidity, she doesn't write the shit she reads) aside, she has been pulling weekend duty for years, never gets the bigtime weekday slot when the "good" news happens, and is now being tossed because she is getting a little long in the tooth and looks like a candy repository rather than eye candy in the eyes of the bosses.

[Roland99]

17. GAH!!!!

WTF is wrong with her right arm around the elbow area??

[countmyvote4real]

20. Looks like a case of batwing. n/t

[CoffeeCat]

29. Looks like O'Reilly loofa-ed her arm one time too many! (nt)

[ruggerson]

19. Another rightwing hack silenced

for now. She is truly a horrific, slanted piece of garbage.

[barbaraann]

21. I think she had one special qualification.

A really, really good brand of lip gloss.

Someone must have found out what it was and now she's expendable.

[Ang_TX_LIB]

23. Good Fox news sucks

glad she is leaving..:puke:

[Melynn]

24. Maybe Jeff Gannon will take her slot

Who knows, this is Fox News we are talking about.

[Skidmore]

37. Wonder if he'll get her lip gloss...

[Alpharetta]

31. Do I care when a whore moves to a cheaper street?

She'll find work on a cheaper show.

I can't remember. In "Outfoxed", did it discuss how tough FoxNews can be on ex-employees who badmouth their former pimps?

[UTUSN]

33. Did Jerry RIVERA Get Her Canned? Will She Come into the Light?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3650540
Did Jerry RIVERA get Rita tossed? When he joined Faux and made the rounds of all the Faux circuses, kissing the Faux anchors' butts, begging to be accepted by them, O'LOOFAH asked him, "What to you bring to Faux that we don't already have?"

It was actually a good question since COSBY was gangbusters in handling what might be Jerry's niche---but doing it more efficiently and accurately----interviewing Bad Boys or their families or their neighbors, anybody CLOSE to the Bad Boys. She was pen-pals with McVEIGH and David BERKOWITZ, telephone-interviewed MILOSEVIC, clearly wanted to "do" PETERSON and CONDIT if she could have gotten to them, walked the trash dump where the spouse-murdered wife was, and much more. And she did it by showing SYMPATHY for the Bad Boys, preying on their "good" side, plowing the vein of RELIGIOUS COMPASSION.

Many times Rita and Jerry were covering the same stories, but Rita always edged him out in getting exclusives with WHOMEVER, neighbors, whomever. One time, the strain was clearly showing on Jerry. The two of them were promo-ing their back-to-back shows on an earlier show. The host asked her first, and she had the edge. Jerry was clearly pissed and scowled, staring straight ahead. The tension was thick. Rita actually reached over and touched Jerry's knee with her trademark "compassion".

Will she come into the LIGHT? Red Rover, Red Rover, Let---RITA!---come over! I'd scrimp to buy her tell-all on Faux.
