Oh, you mean like Hannity & Colmes? http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Hannity_&_Colmes http://www.newshounds.us/2008/03/15...s_full_hour_smearing_obama_via_his_pastor.php
They both have serious problems. The Mac people readily see his problems. The BO people, on the other hand, seem to ignore or explain away absolutely anything negative. Its something that should be studied in depth I believe. Quite amazing.
Hannity and Colmes has just gotten to be a bully fest, making both guys look bad in my opinion. Chris Mathews I watch, and similar to what was mentioned above about Rush being entertaining, I can smile the Keith Obermans show, most of the time. O'reilly seems to be really bi-polar or schizoid, I actually like him sometimes and then can't figure what the heck he's doing half the time. I never thought, over the years, that I would find myself in agreement with Pat Buchanan of all people. But, again, he seems to pop side to side on some issues, which I guess is fine. Listening to someone is fine, following someone's talking points in your own personal life, debate, ET, or whatever is the thing that drives me nuts. Fox is good for the Simpsons, Family Guy, and all the rest. CNN is ok, but a bit focused on grandstanding for ratings I think. 3 basic networks, it really depends on the show in my opinion. c
buchanan or however you say his name is one of the few guys who provides analysis instead of their talking points. I keep tuning in - because I really want to learn more about BO and whats going on - and I keep hearing the same old tired pre spun junk from most of these guys. Chris Matthews seems to be aware of the problem and at least probes for more depth but rarely gets it. Then he sort of gives up with a smile and moves on.
H&C is very fair about giving equal time. Guests are also ideologically balanced. Compare to any other cable or network show, where invariably the host is liberal and at most one of the panel is conservative. Most of the major cable shows do not allow even one conservative on, eg Olberman, Matthews, King, Blitzer Ditto for the Sunday morning shows, with the exception of George Will. When you leave Fox, the viewpoints range all the way from A to B.
