Excellent, Olbermann is clobbering Anderson Cooper. Wayda go Keith!
morning joe is 2nd place in the demo and total viewers. awesome! hopefully joe comes back from his leave soon. hes the whole point of the show lol.
Well my friend,it's not that the media “seems” liberal,it's a fact that it IS! The media just did'nt become that way since dubya became president,the media has been bias long before I was even born and I'm 40 years old. In the late '80s I heard about it and then checked into it ,turns out it's true,then Bernard Goldberg of CBS in 2003 wrote the book “Bias” exposeing it . I was convinced all Americans knew of this,but I guess you still don't see it.
I don't know if it was MSNBC or CNN,but they took a chance on that fool Phil Donahue a few years ago up against Bill O'Reilly and that failed-quickly. Now they're trying Kieth Olbermann,and that idiots only got half the rateings O'Reilly does, 2 mill to 1 mill,(you can check the Nelson rateings if you don't believe me).When I mentioned Glenn Beck I forgot to also mention Tony Snow of CNN, (he's on leave of abence due to illness) but even both of them still can't get rateings up. The Fox News Channel is the number 1 cable news channel and it's no coincidence thier catch phase is “Fair and Balanced” or “You Decide”.
