I'll watch Bill O'Reily for a month if you watch Keith Olbermann's countdown for month.
Pretty simple, I wonder if anything will come out of this...

I'm considered Conservative by most. But I watch CNN exclusively. Does that make me the odd one in the bunch?
Im hardcore conservative but I dont want O'Reily. How about Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck for Olbermann?

Why switch one Spinner/Editorialist for another?
Sticking to simple News storys of events and real Expert(those who have Expertise, not a loud mouth or Personality) ideas on subject matter serves everyone better.
edit: All that said, not meaning to derail thread or start anything. So I'll leave that there.
I still read my local newspaper, NYT and watch Bill O'Reily on a semi-daily basis...
It's just an idea guys...
Ugh, Glenn Beck is the worst of them all. I mean if you want partisan hackery, Glenn Beck is like a poor man's Sean Hannity. Hannity for all the things I don't like about him is certainly the best in the business at what he does. Beck... pssh. Just a runner up.

I know, I'm sorry.
Maybe it'd better to switch from watching Fox News to reading the New York Times?
how about I watch neither?
I listen to Hannity and Colmes as background noise sometimes, but it's really because I hate Larry King so much. I'd rather listen to right wing ranting than a corpse stumbling around on stage.

Rather than watch some person spin the news as or before the issue and action is being debated, why not pay a lot more attention to the later results of a policy?
After all, if we have any belief in cause and effect, good governmental policy will succeed and bad governmental policy will fail.
And when it comes time to spin the results, its much harder than than spinning what the future glorious are supposed to bring.
Now the question is and remains, are we better off than we were eight years ago and have the wondrous predictions and policies of GWB resulted in positive results?

Most "conservatives" I know use foxnews as gospel. It is crap. Any single source is. I use drudge for most of my news, honestly (that and CNN money). It is biased as they all are, but between it and P&N right now I feel I have a decent impression of things
How about a lot more like the late Tim Russert and a lot less Olbermann and O'Reilly. Both of those two are GIGANTIC JACKASSESS. They do not report any news that I can tell. All they seem to do is throw their opinion out as news. I want to puke either time any of their ilk is on TV. Oh yeah, CNN you suck too.

Even they are guilty of biased news coverage
I give the BBC alot of credit though for responding to criticisms and commissioning an investigation.
Lucky me. Cable isn't available here so I don't get to watch any of the cable shows you guys are talking about.
I'm neither Conservative or Liberal, but I try and just watch the C-SPAN's when I can watch TV. That way you can hear it straight from the source instead of getting "news" from one slanted source or another.
It's actually sort of funny to watch a whole segment of C-SPAN, and then look at the "news" sites the next day "report" on the news. They all leave context out, and many actually warp it to whatever message they're trying to report.
Which news sites do I trust: None of them.
