Politics
Greta affiliates herself with which ever political stance helps her ratings -- and therefore makes her more money. She also exploits her husband's political connections to score interviews with popular politicians to help her ratings. In the late 1990's Greta used her husband's political connections to score interviews with Hillary Clinton. Since Obama's election, she has exploited her husband's political connections to score interviews with Sarah Palin. Greta has taken on a much more conservative political stance since Obama's election. This has helped her ratings on Fox News as well.
