Here you go, M.

Quote one, Keith Olbermann:

“I’ve been accused of being a liberal, which is interesting because the last time I was on doing the news in the late 90s, I did 218 consecutive shows about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. And no one accused me of being a liberal then. It’s very interesting the way you can be sort of pigeonholed. I like to think of myself politically as ‘correct.’

“But seriously, I tried to not be [biased], to the degree you can be neutral nowadays, I don’t, for instance, I don’t vote.”

Ferguson: “You don’t vote at all.”

Olbermann: “I don’t vote because I don’t think I should have a rooting interest in the outcome of an election.”

AND (since I’m sure you’ll hate “NewsBusters”…

I also, I don’t think in these issues that I’m a liberal; I think that I’m an American. I think I’m acting almost as a historian on these particular things…

Rationalize that.

Oh oh… and more link for you, regarding our earlier conversation. Time Magazine

Was it BushDrunk who said, “Fool me once….fool me all the time”??

Um… no. You (quite amazingly) managed to botch his already botched phrase. Nice job, winner.

>>Is MSNBC liberal? Sure. Sadly, they work to deny it.
Starting with Olbermann’s endless declarations of objectivity while punishing those that disagree or the “news” reporters that openly advocate? Contessa Brewer comes to mind most quickly, constantly scorning anyone that does not toe the Dem line. Defending Alan Grayson while condemning Joe Wilson.

See how that works?

The thing is, they are allowed to be biased and allowed to deny it. It is a little thing called a free press.

Their slogans are “Fair and Balanced” and “We Report, You Decide”.

>Is MSNBC liberal? Sure. Sadly, they work to deny it.

Give proof.

Is FNC conservative? Sure. Mostly they don’t deny it. Is MSNBC liberal? Sure. Sadly, they work to deny it, which is sad, since it tells me they are not totally comfortable with their reporting. CNN is simply off the rails in any direction and mostly reads blogs and nonsense on air – also well within their rights.

This endless liberal/conservative, left/right bash-a-thon is more of a problem than the obviously slanted reporting of literally EVERY news outlet – TV, print and radio.

If you don’t agree with Olbermann or O’Reilly, don’t watch them. That is your right. But the bashing from side to side benefits nobody.

But there was a time not long ago that daytime TV talk shows ran off the rails. Remember when? That was the 1990s, a decade ago. That’s right — a DECADE ago.

And what happened to daytime TV talk? It simmered down. (Except Jerry Springer … who’s still trolling the underbrush of America for oddball guests who enjoy screaming, yelling and banging each other on the head with conveniently handy folding chairs. Note to Springer: bolt the chairs to the floor?)

Anyhow, cable news will simmer down as well. This too shall pass.

Meanwhile, enjoy the show!

Oh… PS:
3) Special Report All-Star Panel: conservatives
This is a lie. Juan Williams, Mara Liasson, and Mort Kondracke, all Democrats/Left-Wing

Greta van Susteren: conservative. Have you ever read GretaWire? I thought I was on MichelleMalkin.com.
Wrong. Greta is a lawyer, and has mostly rumored to be a Democrat. If you think she or her website is like Malkin… well, then you’ve clearly never looked at or read it. Is there something specific you want to show the class?

Their self-declared reporters are conservative.
They’ve declared themselves reporters?

Fox News White House Correspondent Major Garret, author of books declaring how Republicans are great.
According to Amazon.com, Garret wrote ONE book, and it was about how the “Contract with America” changed the political landscape for BOTH PARTIES.

Chris Wallace, hunting buddies with Karl Rove and Fred Barnes…
Maybe he’s just like Ailes, whom you said yesterday “just knows a lot of people.”

But all this is moot, of course… because you’ve left out the people who don’t support your argument. Nor, would you make the same argument against another network, even with substantial proof and evidence of bias. You are, and continue to be, an uninformed propagandist for things you simply don’t know about.

Sean Hannity: Reagan Republican. Nuff said.
Glenn Beck: “Just a guy?” Would he O’Reilly use the same description of Beck if he was a liberal doing the exact same things on his show? I don’t think so. It’s pretty easy to tell which part of the political spectrum Glenn Beck leans towards. You’d have to have a vacuum inside your head if you don’t think he’s conservative. O’Reilly describes himself a straight-shooter calling things for what they are; this is a prime example his hypocrisy, because it shows that he’s just plainly intellectually dishonest.
Bill O’Reilly: self-declared “traditionalist”. Registered Republican.

People O’Reilly missed:
1) Fox & Friends crew: all of them (weekday and weekend) are clearly conservative.
2) Neil Cavuto: conservative.
3) Special Report All-Star Panel: conservatives
3) Greg Gutfeld: conservative.
4) Greta van Susteren: conservative. Have you ever read GretaWire? I thought I was on MichelleMalkin.com.

On top of that you disregard the fact that most guests, even on the non-opinionated shows, are conservative. 99% of Susteren’s guests are conservative. Remember when Bill Hemmer did a simultaneous show with conservative John Gibson?

Their self-declared reporters are conservative. Fox News White House Correspondent Major Garret, author of books declaring how Republicans are great. Brit Hume, the Weekly Standard buddies with Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer (why do you think they were on the same show?). Chris Wallace, hunting buddies with Karl Rove and Fred Barnes and declared he agrees most with of Sean Hannity’s politics. Griff Jenkins, 9/12 propagandist, video stalker and who will forget him telling Governor Sanford to let him interview him first to “set the record straight”?

And as the cherry on top, you’ve got conservative FoxNation.com. Promoted on their shows, their websites and on their spinning logo.

O’Reilly thinks that when people call Fox News a right-wing news network, it somehow is only ‘just a couple of shows’. But he’s selective and plain dishonest. Fox News, at face value, is basically an institutionalized conservative and Republican network, top to bottom and works for one political party and specific political causes.
