The problem? We’re smarter than you. We see through your crap. SOOOO SORRY!

She didn’t get any damn “gotcha” questions, she made a fool out of herself and McCain’s own AIDES have supported this. You people want to blame the media for all your shortcomings.

Oh…oh…final thing.

Is Africa a Country or a CONTINENT!! You know, like you learn in 2nd grade?

Gee, that mush have been a “gotcha” question from the McCain aides, right?

Or who is in Nafta? “IN what regard Charlie”!!!!

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I mean, look at Cattlemans ignorant rant back there. Just laughable. I mean the use of analogies…priceless. Problem is, he’s like the uptight Military Father in American beautiful. He can babble on and on about how worked up everyone else is, but I fear any moment now he’s going to try and hit on his male neighbor, only to be rejected and respond with a shooting spree.

Anyway, you wacko right wingers make me laugh. You also make me a little upset at how you can perpetuate this prevailing ignorance in this country, but that’s not your fault. Maybe your kids will be smarter than you.

I mean, only the GOP could HONESTLY pass off the argument that the educated in this country(who vote Democratic overwhelmingly) are the idiots and the high school drops outs, or even the big bad grads are the smarts ones. How those teaching at our fine institutions of higher learning are the idiots and those who work as roofers are the truly intelligent ones.

It’s a comical argument.

But alas, liberalism will ALWAYS win out. A nation or it’s people NEVER to backward. Is this country more liberal than it was 200 years ago? 100 years ago?75? 50? 25? 15? 10? What’s going to happen in another 5…10?

Oh, it’ll be priceless. You ignorant, fear mongeriong, hateful people of the Christian Right hiding behind your book of fairy tales and try and hang on as long as you can, but your fingers are being pried off of this country’s controls.

SO SORRY!!!

It escapes me how anyone can conclude that the hate is coming from Olbermann. He is anti-hate. He is certainly bias but he checks his facts and he is damn entertaining. Cab anyone really say that Hannity is entertaining? Can anyone say he is not mean spirited and hateful?

Fox is the only network with conservatives? Come on People! How about Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough. In addition, MSNBC is NOT a news operation… it’s the commentary arm of NBC news which is absolutely fair and balanced. This is the mistake that all blindly biased conservatives make. FOX presents itself as NEWS… that is a joke. It is the ONLY news operation with an obvious… no wait… it’s not just obvious, it’s obnoxious… bias. No other major news operation is bias from a corporate philosophy… some individuals may be bias but the corporate philosophy is not to favor one side or another… ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE… and try to listen this time… MSNBC is NOT a news operation… it’s 100% political commentary and they do get plenty of conservatives on there. However, if you want to compare, the comparison is to NBC News (notice the word news) to FOX News… NOT MSNBC to FOX News.

Are you people really that dense?

All of us can get frustrated with opposing view points that we see as misguided but the worst frustration occurs when some talking head is dispensing little more then a baseless series of non sense knowing that it is going to work on the citizen who derives their news primarily from that source or is mindlessly seeking a single view, the facts be damned. Let’s face it, there is plenty of overly bias, talking points based flem that comes spewing out of the mouths of pundits left and right.

I obtain information and commentary from a variety of sources including the television news operations, print, radio and the internet. It becomes very clear after you expose yourself to all views (assuming an open mind) which are useless dribble and what actually makes sense or can at least be considered in a reasonable decision making process.

Consider this: When you tune into the news are you rooting for something or do you want to get some facts you can use to make a sound decision? I fear that too few would answer the ladder.

As far as bias? Oberman and his new sidekick, Rachel Maddow – easy on the eyes, but twists logic to the point where all truth is gone. What a bunch of low lifes. I swear they are competing with Colbert!

I am not a political junkie. I want news programs that do their job – call our leaders to account – not campaign for them. Fox was won their audience from the competitors, so why blame Fox? Blame the competition for sticking to the old liberal newspaper model and getting beat buy a more modern format!

The difference that sets them apart : they are not afraid to ‘buck’ their own peers and report actual news, rather than filter thru personal preference.
You show me where Olberman has both sides on his program — just show me.
He was fired because he was an ‘anchor’ reporting the news?? Well at least they called that one right. And Chris Mathews?
You don’t see anyone on Fox reporting the news like these two — Those with opinions say who they are and it’s not news anchor.
And maybe you haven’t noticed that their opinion shows are balanced also. If you don’t think Alan Combs is very liberal, then think again –
How about Greta? How about Geraldo Rivera?

You make the most sense.

Does anyone really think that Countdown with Keith Olbermann is a news cast? If you compare Countdown to Special report with Brit Hume you are comparing apples to oranges. There is an important distinction to draw here. FOX News does not have a separate true news operation like NBC does. If you want to make true comparisons you need to compare FOX News programs with the likes of Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams. Does anyone honestly think that “Meet the Press” is bias?

We lost a journalism giant recently and he worked for NBC. His name was Tim Russert. Does anyone recall how much praise was heaped on this man from both the left and the right? Tim was the example of fairness and he was equally tough on all his guests. He attracted the likes of Andrea Mitchell and David Gregory to the NBC news organization and to call them bias is to have an agenda against NBC itself.

Show like Countdown and Hannity are obviously commentary and both are presented from their perspective view points. I happen to watch both and I know what I am getting. But I will say this, it is like night and day to compare those two and the comparison is fair since neither program is a news cast but rather a commentary. Olbermann is down right entertaining. Does anyone recall him as a sportscaster? The man has wit and he has his facts straight. It’s very true that his program presents a left leaning agenda but he does it thoughtfully by examining the evidence and presenting only truth… you certainly get his spin but it is the truth. Hannity on the other hand is woefully predictable. I roll my eyes every time he opens his mouth because I know what is about to come out “Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright on and on” Take a listen to Olbermann and you will not see the same sleep inducing repetition. He and his staff do their homework and present an entertaining program while laying down their spin on recent events. Hannity is a mindless automaton with no regard for the facts if they do not suit his agenda.

In addition, I hear this whine all the time that the media is bias. There is certainly bias in media and that bias is sometimes right and sometimes left. I do happen to think that more then 50% of the news media holds a more liberal bias although it is rather difficult to say how much more or just how liberal. I would say that most true journalists do a reasonable job being fair regardless of their personal bias. However, if it is true I don’t hear the obvious question being asked… why? Is it some vast uncoordinated conspiracy against the right? Of course not! The fact is that when thoughtful people draw conclusions they more often end up landing to the left of the political spectrum. It is no coincidence that “Liberals” are far more educated on average. The “Liberal” agenda is largely based on the common good whereas the conservative agenda is based in self interest. More often then not the best objective conclusions tend to be liberal and therefore may result it what appears to be a liberal bias. In fact it is a bias toward sound reasoning.

All I hear about the media whining. Stop and ask yourself why, there is a reason, a good one.

You can count on Olbermann to “crow” as you put it.

It is in his nature to do that. He is the type of person that rubs it in other people faces when he wins.

He would not have the dignity to just let people notice. But if McCain does lose on Nov. 4th, O’Reilly will not whine.

You obvioulsy do not ever watch O’Reilly, or you would realize that he does not whine. He may kick the door down and machine gun down who he thinks is a villan, but I have in 6 years of watching him never seen him whine.

Olbermann whines, and Matthews really whines. Matthews has a period once a month, he makes Olbermann look like Randolp Scott.

Both of them whine with enough self-righteous pomposity to make it irritating
—even to thier employers. Why don’t you go back and read the news stories from when Olbermann got canned. It was numerous higher ups from many places on high that had had their gut full of Olbermanns whining that culminated on the RNC night over his “seperating” himself from his own network over the terrorist video that hurt him little feelings.

What will happen is that Olbermann (if McCain loses) will have a group of haters and gloaters such as yourself slowly get bored with him shoveling out endless kudoos to Barack. With no one to hate or mock you will get bored and his numbers will go down even worse.

On the other hand, look for O’Reilly’s numbers to go up as he will be like a voice in the wilderness.

If you do not believe this then go back and look at Rush Limbough’s numbers during the Clinton years that many said would cause Rush to evaporate. Just the opposite happened.

But as for Obama outlawing FNC, that is something that needs to come from the people, not the government. And at this rate, the people are never going to stop watching FNC. And if the government tried to ban it, that would be the biggest possible offense of the first amendment. The FCC is horrible enough as it is, we don’t need to give them even more power.

Let’s vote for a democratic control in two years also or we’re doomed.

That will show who is in charge of the media.

We need a takeover.

Fox News has hot babes and that’s why I watch it. Who wants to watch Keith O. and his lack of humor.

I love hot blondes (brunettes too) that are smart and wear sexy clothes.

After the debate the other night, I flipped it from Fox over to MSNBC and Olberman was all but cross examining a distraught looking Maddow. He kept asking her forceful slanted hate filled —totaly over the top questions—will someone please tranquilize that man— and he was practically foaming at the mouth to get Maddow to say that Biden won…she just kept saying “I don’t know…”

It was one of those rare moments when I think even Maddow wanted to say….”Why don’t you let me have an independent thought you gas bag!”

She squinted at him as if he were an embarrassment.

Olberman is a vindictive man who makes himself try to look smarter and better than other people by mocking them and ridiculing them. He is an insecure bully who has obtained power. He is the character Andy Griffith played in the movie, “A Face In The Crowd.”

But the difference with Olberman is that he is not funny. He is like the guy in high school who calls girls pizza face and can’t contain himself at the thought of how brilliant that was…He does not care that if they are struggling with acne…in Olbermann’s world crushing other people is fine as long as it gets him attention.

He is an insulting buffon who thinks he is witty and hilarious. One of those loud weirdly bespectacled whackos at conventions who tells jokes that are not funny but laughs harder and louder at them than anyone else. I remember John Chancellor and men like that. They were newsmen back when NBC commanded respect. Keith Olbermann has all but peed on John Chancellor and David Brinkley’s graves.

GE’s stock is a dissaster and that company is in free fall.
People like Olberman are freakshows who whore in a lot of interest, but over time the damge to NBC will last far beyond the days of Keith Olbermann.

MSNBC is a loser network. Even Lou Dobbs bet Chris “tingle up my leg” Matthews last week.

Olberman can’t come anywhere close to beating O’Reiley…but hey what all you rabid FOX haters could do is just change your strategy. Instead of getting all worked up and frying your nervous systems over how horribly O’Reilly pulverizes Olbermann…instead why don’t you thump your chest over how badly Olbermann stomps Nancy Grace…that way at least you can feel like he is a real winner and not have to curse about Fox and do all that hyperventalating…

The only “poll” that matters is what happens on election day. If McCain loses there, then you can talk all you want about what Americans want.
