    I'm saying they should. That Fox is an overt money raising tool for the Republicans is proof positive that they're not real news journalists. Hell, Fox claimed that their own rules said that if a "journalist" gave money to a candidate then they had to disclose that when they interviewed that but they don't and nothing ever happens to people who break it.

      Olbermann has provided more to the democratic cause with what he says than his paltry, pathetic $2400 ever will.

      I think it's worth pointing out however that Beck and O'Reilly are not anchors, they are analysts, and do not have any pretext of objectivity.

        Wait, he donated to a Republican?

          I'm assuming that was an attempt to be witty and/or snide but I'm not quite sure why you think donating to republicans would ever help democrats more than donating to democrats.

            Not to defend him, as he's a massive douche, but how is that different from Olbermann?

              I thought Olbermann was actually a news anchor for a while.

              I actually kind of like O'Reilly. Not as a person, he is in fact a huge ****ing douche like Olbermann, but he has a few interesting insights. I only watch his show when my dad has it turned on in the living room, I'm not a regular viewer.

                I know Olbermann from ESPN and Football Night in America. I have no idea why he was on those shows.

                Okay one thing you have to keep in mind with Olberman vs. O'Reilly is that O'Reilly (or Hannity, for that matter) at least presents other viewpoints on his show and invites guest from the opposition (yes, he does shout them down a lot, but at least they're represented). Olbermann does no such thing. Olbermann has the same crew every day... Maddow, that skinny British guy with the glasses, the black guy, etc.

                Olbermann's show is nothing but media liberal elites talking pedantically and condescendingly about politics. That's another knock on Olbermann. He and Maddow go all Kuci-like and try to sound intelligent for no real needed reason. Some of Olbermann's references and metaphors and his long-winded statements make me because they are so unnecessary but he's only doing it to sound smart. O'Reilly is a man of the people and has no reason to try to sound smart.

                  O'Reilly actually is smart. Olbermann has to act smug because he isn't smart. Although I suppose O'Reilly is a bit smug, too.

                    I suppose Sarah Palin is a bit retarded.

                    I suppose Scarlet Johanssen is a bit ****able.

                    I suppose the Dallas Cowboys are a bit of a mess.

                      Yes, the understatement was intentional.

                      TO BE FAIR, I think Sarah Palin isn't entirely retarded, she is just (amazingly) even more populist than Obama. I'm not a huge Palin fan.

                        She's not as entirely retarded as O'Donnell, but that is damning faint praise. She makes W look like an intellectual.


                        Also, how great is it that the Cowboys are a ****ing trainwreck?

                          HC won't understand. He doesn't strike me as a sports fan.

                            She's clever enough to have a pretty decent audience who listen to her unironically. But yes. She makes W look like an intellecual. By the way, George Bush is another person who is not nearly as stupid as he is made out to be.

                              I don't really care about the Cowboys. The Cowboys cheerleaders, on the other hand...

                              But yes I'm not really a sports guy.
