FNC co-hosts Steve Doocy and Page Hopkins interviewed retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert Maginnis about his support for Rumsfeld. Doocy teased the segment this way: </p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><p>Doocy: "Lieutenant Colonel Robert Maginnis. We’re going to talk to him live from down in D.C. about Mr. Rumsfeld. <strong>There is that drumbeat, okay, would you call it a drumbeat if there are seven generals, all retired, out of 8,000 active duty and retired generals, is that really a drumbeat?"</strong></p></blockquote><p dir="ltr">

Veteran commentator Andy Rooney recently amended his <a href="node/4774">earlier comments</a> about designated <em>Evening News </em>anchor Katie Couric. I don’t think these statements will be popular over at CBS either: </p><b><blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"><p>Rooney: "I have this ancient view of CBS News as a paragon of journalistic virtue, and that time is gone." </p></blockquote></b><p>The most charitable way to characterize that statement would be as a backhanded compliment.

Henican, a Fox News analyst and Newsday columnist, appeared on the January 17<sup>th</sup> edition of Fox and Friends at 6:18AM EST. He excitedly referenced an impeachment mention during Arlen Specter’s January 15th appearance on ABC's This Week.
