Both the America Live and the On The Record hosts have signed new long-term contracts with the cable news networks, sources confirm. The New York Times first reported the new deals. Details of the new contracts are sketchy but I’m told that Fnc is contemplating moving rising star Kelly and veteran Van Susteren to new positions in the network’s line-up down the line.

But Kelly wasn't over the situation just yet. She welcomed Fox News editor Chris Stirewalt as a guest commentator, but couldn't resist asking him about his opinion on the animation. "I was a little frightened. I was afraid something really, really...

Less reasonably, Fox presented the Swift Boaters' allegations with credulity, and even less reasonably, did so during the network's "hard news" program, America Live.
