Because Fox News Channel isn't as far to the right as the Democrats would lead people to believe. Hell, this libertarian-Republican sure has issues with their previous attempts at "journalism," where they've deliberately deceived the public as part of a clear pattern of big government and big media wholesale jury-manipulation against e-gold...In fact, in order to avoid continued erosion of their reputation, I'd suggest that they correct their error and report the truth, but that's just me...

I don't believe FNC are "smitten" with the Kennedy family as such. However, those in the Kennedy family who have been hit by the so called Kennedy curse are no longer harmfull. JFK, RFK, & JFKjr have a legacy to look back on & study. Teddy, RFKjr, & Patrick are trying to build their legacy. The surviving Kennedys think they must go as far to the left & as big as possible to secure their legacy with what they think is their constituency.

I also question whether or not JFK & RFK would really be welcome in todays Demacratic party, it has been driven so far left that John & Bobby might not believe it. As for JFKjr, he really was'nt too political from what I remember. He was still into his magizine & trying to sort out his family life when he died. There were people pestering him to run for office, we'll never know if he would have or what kind of politician he would have made.

I really don't think FNC is a Kennedy friendly place the way the rest of the MSM is, but I don't see the harm in looking back on JFKjr's tragic passing & looking at his life, as well as a little "what if" had he not been killed. He was young & had potential, would he have wasted it like RFKjr, or tried his hand politically like Patrick? We'll never know, hence the segment.

First of all, other than Geraldo's abomination of a show, Fox & Friends is the absolute worst show on that Network. I am literally at the point where I don't care to even watch the FNC, except for Mr. Hume's usually excellent work. I can tolerate the first five minutes of BOR and some of Sean's segments on H&C, but that is about it.

I starting getting fed up with them back when Anna Nicole Smith died, as that was about the only story that entire network seemed to be interested in covering for a solid week, and don't even get me started on Paris Hilton and her recent joke of an incarceration. I have also noted somewhat of a leftward shift creeping into their coverage over the last several months, which may explain, in part, their fawning over John Jr.

And would someone please explain to me why Al Sharpton pops up on FNC every time I turn it on?

Help Fred defeat the RINOs, along with the Hitllary-Obama Axis, & win the White House in '08.

Piggy-backing off of 10th anniversary "grief" for Princess Diana, perhaps.

8-year anniversaries are not really ripe for these sorts of things, after all.

Or perhaps, was Fox News the first to break the story? Maybe on some level that was a point of pride for them. I remember 8 years ago the obsessive cable network coverage then. That was back when I was but a humble intern at MRC.

Doesn't a Kennedy work at the FNC?

I think it is a business decision. FOX knows that in 2008 a Democrat will win, so they want to be on the winning team.

 Why is the whole country still fallling all over the freakin' Kennedys, especially since they have such a large percentage of ne'er-do-wells who represent elite privilege and entitlement while getting away with crimes, never mind the serious character-flaws and penchants for substance abuse of their members?  Traitor-like actions to boot.  Illegal immigration was practically invented in the 60s by Ted, and now he wants to expand the nightmare and really sink what's left of this country. The back-stabbing, lying, cheating Kennedy men led by the Champion Fat Windbag of an Embarrassment and Cowardly Manslaughter: Teddy K.  Patches out of 'rehab' yet?  You lucky bastards, huh, you belong in jail!!!  The media are all whores, especially in the way they suck up to Kennedys and Clintons. 

  Nothin to see here, folks.  Cast the rest to the dustbin of loser, pretentious, low-life scum that so many of them are.  This seems to apply much more to the males than females of the Kennedy clan, but either way, they suck.  Everyone would be so much better off if they got out of "public service"!

Anyone who says they support the troops but not the mission is a liar.
