I consider myself to be quite liberal, but does that mean I have to tolerate every left-leaning personality on television? Nope.

Keith Olbermann is a tool. The man is trying his damnedest to come off as the next Edward R. Murrow, but more often than not he comes off as a blithering eight year old. Murrow would be ashamed to see Olbermann use his sign-off of “good night, and good luck.” The only redeeming quality of Olbermann is his hair. I like his hair.

I personally find every television personality repulsive. Some are better than others. With the deaths of Tony Snow and Tim Russert, it’s hard to find people both fair and tough. Tom Brokaw is probably the last decent newsman on any of the Big Three networks.

Olbermann and O'Reilly deserve each other.

Olbermann seems to me to be a clown who hates being a clown.

Well, that's egomania for you.

I have only watched Keith Olbermann’s program twice, but from what I’ve seen, I think I can safely assume that he is madly in love with himself.

Olbermann wouldn't be on TV if he didn't have an equally-evil audience.  He really, truly sucks as an NFL analyst, also.

Come on Olbermann was great on Sportscenter with Dan Patrick, just Bill O'Reilly was great on A Current Affair--- The problem is they both suck as political pundits.

I watch O'Reilly a lot actually. He's entertaining. Sometimes, he's spot on while at others he's a jackarse. He is at his absolute worst when he talks about drugs and drinking.

I watch him too.   I watch everyone, just depends on the mood I guess.   But what bothers me about O'Reilly, and I understand it is his show, but when the guest is just about to get the better of him, the segment runs out of time.

I understand how that can look suspicious but it really is a retarded format. You gather people together to talk about a complicated issue and try to squeeze the debate into a 7 minute segment. Someone (sometimes everyone) gets cheated not to mention the audience some of whom may think they are now well informed on the issue.  Cheesy

You are right about that.   Grin
