@ someguy,
spot on, i read "dianetics, a new science of the mind" in a sci-fi magazine many years ago, it was hogwash then and its still hogwash as "scientology" now.

greta,
i doubt that you'll remember me, i commented on the ones who criticesed you having a hotel room while covering hurricane katrina. we still disagree on many things but i do not consider you "dumb". i do consider you one of the few honest reporters from the "liberal" side, and i respect you as such, which is more than i can say for some of your colleagues, even on fox news. ( i still get a laugh out of geraldo "the moustache" playing "combat reporter" in afghanistan, posing beside a broken down t-55 tank that obviously wasn't going anywhere.) keep on keepin' on greta.
with best regards from vermont

This is a no-brainer (get it? that's pretty funny there). Any person who posts a poll askin' if they are dumber than someone else is just beggin' for trouble. Greta is clearly dumber than Brian. Brian sounds like a socialist though, which is way, way, way more worse than bein' dumb. Also I think he runs a Death Panel.

Bet that poll isn't going how you thought eh? Guess what I watch Beck sometimes just to see what the moron is saying and to keep up with both sides. What was really "dumb" here is you responding to Brian here who is clearly just looking for attention. Thinking that pulling poll up on your website (because asking your fan base for opinions on your seems real "fair and balanced" and totally unbiased) was going to provide any other result then you losing by 40% (currently) is what was dumb. Remember the internet is brought to you by the likes of 4chan and lolcats, probably not going to work out in your favor and everyone knows that. FYI your aticle just hit Gawker so get ready for some extra traffic at the expenses of yourself and credibility.
As you are on FOX, you are, whether you realize it or not, implicitly against the evolution of intelligent thought, and the general advance of Western civilization. You have bigger problems in your life than polling (which is a bit telling itself) as to whether or not you are dumb. I'd worry more about sleeping at night. Of course, this is just me with my "fancy college degree" talking.
Sincerely yours,

Anyone who follows Scientology is, by default, dumber than anyone who criticizes them.
The fact that that cult shares so many letters with "science" is an insult to any scientist in any true scientific field. Of course, we all know that it is not science those letters refer to but, rather, to "science fiction." Hubbard was a second rate sci-fi author who decided that he'd rather be a god. If you don't think he's been elevated to that level, check out the setup he has in Hollywood/LA (which "org" you're allowed into depends on your financial clout -- don't expect to handle an e-meter that has touched Tom Cruise's hands, you're not good enough for that). There's a whole shrine set up to the bastard.
Scientology was, and is, nothing more than a vehicle to make L. Ron Hubbard rich and then immortal. Successful bastard is successful, I suppose, since there's no shortage of idiots who will follow his crap even after reading the many expensive books about it.
In short, Brian can only be dumber than Greta if evidence surfaces that he is also a Scientologist.

Considering Greata is the follower of a Cult who abuses and disconnects people from their families it should be considered obsurd to place her on any level of sane intellegence.
Brian will WIN and you will EPIC FAIL - if Greta was clever at all she would have realised the footbullet she has made for herself starting the poll in the first place. Now Greta report to one of those hubbard tables and get that needle floating again you must be covered in thetans by now from this horrible incident.

He may be dumb, but you're immature for posting this.
Angela, the only legal cases that Greta should worry about are her church's (cult's) legal issues in Italy, Australia, France, Germany, and other countries. Apparently governments don't like it when a "religious" organization actively tries to infiltrate and manipulate them, or keep storage rooms filled with documents containing private and personal data related to perceived "enemies" of the "religious" organization.
Google Scientology, Greta, it's time to become enlightened.
Denise - 14 years ago
Answering this question would mean both are dumb, which isn't the case. The only thing dumb is the question.
Maybe he thinks you're dumb for not leaving a church (cult?) that breaks up families, forces women to get abortions, pays its workers $50 for a hundred-hour work week, and uses forced child labor.
Greta, I know you will get in trouble with the "church", but google Scientology. You need to know the truth.

Greta,
I give you much credit for even posing such a poll as this. I thoroughly enjoy your show and think you are fair and balanced on all issues regardless of your own political leanings which I suspect are democratic since your husband is a democratic fund raiser if I remember correctly.Despite this, it is never obvious what your political persuasion is. I also agree and appreciate your desire for the gov't to be honest with the American people,and for the time you spend with Tom Moore from the Walll Street Journal pointing out where we are going terribly wrong with regards to spending by the gov't,and the fact that President Obama has failed miserably at his "Transparancy" promise. Pres. Obama has changed our Great country,BUT CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE BETTER!!!
One more thing,Greta,I know there is alot going on politically,but I really miss you covering current crime cases,and
the regular legal panel and your guest lawyers like Geoff Feiger.Do you ever intend to go back to covering current legal cases?
Greta, I will often watch your program twice. You are insightful, steady and always a step ahead. You keep order well and ask provocative questions. Keep it up; the news each day is so inflammatory, so many lack integrity and you confront with logical why they are out in left field. I have another hero.
