My computer won't let me play your video, so I don't know what the CNN thing is about, but I did watch a piece of Fox & Friends this morning. They were showing a flooded area that had flames coming out of the water. There was some source of fuel feeding the fire - a tank, a broken gas pipe, or something. The hosts on the show were remarking about how unusual it is to see open flames on top of water. Steve Doocy said that the fire would just have be allowed to burn because fireman would have no way of getting water to it to put it out.

You bet, Fox News, that's one first class news outfit.

That's funny! Did he intend it to be funny?

I saw a gas leak in (the appropriately named) Venice, LA that wasn't burning yet. Just bubbly water and spray.

It didn't sound like it, but they either cut away or someone else changed the subject pretty quickly, so it's hard to be sure.

Yeah, I believe it may have been a bit too many words for the boy. I find his voice irritating. I'm sure it's not his fault ("Hey, if I sound like this, Bot will hate me! Cool!" I can think of only a couple of people who would do that. You may live your life guessing whom I mean).

The dude sounded like a whiner, but the ho was annoying: "Chad! Chad! I don't know what that means!".

I any case, the is another example of CNN setting the bar a couple notches lower than FOX.

Hey D, you need to show your computer who wears the pants in that relationship... Ya know what I mean...?

seriously though, that Doocy gut is a twit, I've never made it through a whole morning on Fox yet, which is seldom I try anyway cause I'm usually at work. I like Shepard Smith though.

what you describe is NOTHING compared to what the CNN video shows. A weatherman had a temper tantrum on air against another newscaster who was simply trying to ask him a question. He yelled at her twice and threw his papers on the floor. Quite incredible really.
