Governors from across the country are in Washington this weekend for the National Governors Association Winter Meeting and the Sunday shows will feature several for a discussion of the economy and the 2012 landscape. Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer and California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown will appear on Meet the Press. New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie and Maryland Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley will be on Face the Nation. Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick will be on This Week. Colorado Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper and Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker will be on State of the Union.
Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs will discuss the presidential race, the economy, and the recent fights with Congress on State of the Union. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. and former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister will also be on State of the Union talking about the crisis in the Middle East, the economy and 2012.
Tune in on Saturday at 3 p.m. for Fox News Channel's War Stories with Oliver North: Deadlines on the Battlefield, a special program from 2004 as a tribute to journalist Marie Colvin and other war correspondents. The one-hour program features an interview with Marie Colvin in which she recounts the violence she observed and endured saying, "war correspondents have to be able to deal with absolutely everything." Additionally, the previous special delves into the history of war reporting in interviews with Pulitzer Prize winners Eddie Adams and Nick Ut, as well as News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch on his father's involvement in WWI.
