Okay, you people saying that MSNBC, i.e., KO’s show, promotes Marxist Socialism are about as intelligent as Rush Limbaugh stoned out on oxycotton.

True, Keith never has anyone on the show that doesn’t disagree with him, but he’s not just sitting there spewing garbage at them either. They are sitting there discussing issues they feel the same about.

Okay, why would Keith waste his time talking about that pesky preacher of Obama’s when there are better things to talk about, like that pesky preacher of Sarah Palin’s that no one wants to talk about?

Bill-O the Clown is a total idiot. Never do you hear him say anything in regards to Bush’s numerous constitutional violations, or the errors of the War in Iraq, or the economy.

Instead, he and Sean Insanity have been slamming Obama for everything their candidates of choice were guilty of.

Fair and Balanced my ass. Keith Olbermann has quite possibly the only fair and balanced show on cable TV.

O’Reilly leans conservatively, no doubt, and he has a big ego, but at least he has people on his show that disgaree with him, and doesn’t just let them sit there and spew without challenging them. Olberman and his ilk by contrast never have anyone on that doesn’t agree with everything he says, and in the rare instance that they do, it’s always three or four against one. That is why KO’s ratings are terrible. He’s boring and he might be the world’s biggest jerk. If he said the things he says to people anywhere but on TV, sooner or later he’d be picking up his teeth with his broken fingers.

Bill O’reilly show has nothing in it. He rants 95% of his total show and you hardly get anything out of it. One of the reason i quit watching his show 3 years back. It is more like a reality show> Ya Paris hilton porn video also has millions of viewers. That doesn’t make her any better. Much the same can be said about Bill O Reilly.

“MSNBC LEANS LEFT, FOX LEANS RIGHT.”

er.. NO.

MSNBC PUTS OUT EXTREME FAR-LEFT SOCIALIST/MARXIST PROPAGANDA and FOX leans right.

NBC leans far left
NPR leans far left
CBS leans left
ABC leans a little left
CNN leans a little left
PBS leans a little left

Get your facts straight.

Please, if you’ve lost your freakin’ brain somewhere along the path of life please dont leave comments. Let me make this as clear as possible for you pre-schoolers out there….PLAIN & SIMPLE, MSNBC LEANS LEFT, FOX LEANS RIGHT. Thats it! BillO leans totally to the right, if you dont see that, that means your a moronic republican that has no brain. Fair and balanced.. use your heads. If Fox was actually fair and balanced, all you KO haters wouldnt watch the freakin channel. MSNBC leans left, if they didnt, I wouldnt watch them. So dont come on here and try to spew how Fox is fair and MSNBC is not, there not suppose to be, either are the hosts. Now, all you billo buttkissers out there, go cry to your momma because you actually have something to contemplate you wack offs. And dont get me started on Hannity, he’s fair & balanced too, right? Now go open a book for once.

Fox viewers cannot complain about another network counter-programming against the GOP news channel. Thank God Olbermann is here to let us know that ED Donahey is running segments on her show about Barack and Michelle Obama's fist tapping as being a possible terrorist signal. The only true liberal Fox News ever had was Neal Gabler, and O'Reilly ran him out of there. News Flash, Fox viewers: Juan Williams and Mara Liasson are not liberals.

The reason Olberman is not a hyporcite is he does not claim his show is "Fair & Balanced" – his show is left leaning and he does not deny it – that is also the reason he does not have conservatives on the show to debate that is NOT what the show is about. That is like asking why Rush Limbaugh does not have liberals on his show.

The issue with O'Reilly is that he poses as an "Independent" but he is actually a conservative. As a true independent I actually watch and enjoy both O'Reilly & Olberman's shows but for O'Reilly to claim he is not a conservative is just silly. I once did an experiment and kept track every time O'Reilly mentioned the "Far Left" in negative terms and "Far Right" in negative terms. Far Left won 14 -0. It is not rocket science.

Anyway – that is my two cents. My fave commentators shows are O'Reilly, Olberman, S. Hannity and R. Maddow – can't stand the Ann Coulters/Limbaughs/Randi Rhodes of the world….

O'Reilly is a bias commentator or a bias network.

Olbermann is very talented, quick and whitty – he is also dishonest. I used to watch his show because I'm a political junkie. I can no longer stomach his show, and I'm surprised that a (supposedly) respectable line-up of jounalists continue to appear on it. He's a pompous a__hole, I don't think there is a more appropriate example of the definition of that coloquialism in all the land.

Olbermann obviously thinks he is the second coming of Edward Murrow. Although their politics might be similar, I think Murrow would take offense to being compared to such a premeditated liar. I have never seen a show that considers its content news – to be so dishonest and one-sided.

I wouldn't want to pal around with Bill O'reily either. But, at least his show has some fairness in its coverage. He just yells at people who get him mad.

By: Joe

Joe — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:45:06 +0000

I think the logic in the "KO has no dissenting opinions on" point is flawed. There are certain shows that have that format and some that don't. Some may remember there was a show called "crossfire" and that was the whole premise of the show. Because O'reilly has people on and tells them to shut up or yells over them when he doesn't agree with them I don't see that as being enlightening. His interview with Scott Mcclellan is a perfect example. He tried his best to turn it into a shouting match but Scott stayed calm and made BillO look like an idiot. It also showed that BillO doesn't really know what he's talking about when it comes to the actual issues. Yes BillO nuclear weapons are WMD's….dumbass. Maybe he should stick to the unimportant things that he's good at like the "war on christmas" and let Keith handle the bigger issues. For all of the flack that people give KO for coming from ESPN I think BillO's style and the stupid issues he often brings up are very reflective of his tabloid/gossip roots from Inside Edition. People tuning into Countdown do not and should not expect an unbiased show. He never claims to be. That's why it's not hypocritical. BillO is exactly the same- quite biased in the other direction. But since he claims "no spin zone" and "fair and balanced" 220 times a show that would make him a huge target for the bullshit police. That's why he's on "worst persons" every night, because not only is he hypocritical but he proves that lots of times he doesn't really know what he's talking about. Keith does an excellent and entertaining job of pointing this out.

I'm sorry folks but everytime I watch the Countdown with KO I feel the need to take a bath, the guy spews hate. Being a Democrat KO is embarrassing atleast when you watch the Factor, Bill IS FAIR AND BALANCE!!! KO should have sticked with sports, I'm sorry he was annoying at that to.

Not a big fan of O'Reilly, but geez, compared to that closet-Marxist Olbermann, (that's not the only thing he's in the closet about) he's a genius. I guess that's why O'Reilly still doubles Overbite's audience.

Hey chris……I got a question,If i tell you the world as i see it,with my own spin and USE yes men to help analyze it….are you gettinhg the total truith?Is that a trustworthy source of info?

So you watch olberman tell you the same things and use his yes men(maddow,robinson,alter,wolffe,the rest of the NBC pundits and washed up comedians to relay his points.)

There are no …ZERO dissenting opinions,Zero DEBATE……He hasn't said @ bad words about OBAMA.

SO the second Question i have for you is…..honestly is olberman BIASED?Now if you say no,your not telling the truth and if you say yes…Then you are watching a program that's biased.So the same things he accuses fox news of…he does?Is that not being a HYPOCRIT?

By: AL

AL — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 02:23:34 +0000

substance on Olberman……what ,to hear him bash bush another 100 ways…i get it,Bush and the republicans are bad…that's olberman's whole show and don't forget the i hate O'reilly segement.i think bill has to stop stooping down to nbc's level taking about them.But the great american culture quiz,pinheads and patriots,the kelly file,geraldo,dennis miller….the battle of the sexs with the guy and girl segemnt.O'reilly has the way better show.

If you think best persons,worst persons…His OBAMALOVING self……they don't even ask obama if he's had a bad day they are so in the TANK for him.
Oddball is suppose to be funny or even entertaining??

IK'm just curious when obama is elected and bush is out of office.Will he continue to do Bush is bad material?when the dems get the house and senate….will he show the same VITRIOL to the dems that he showed the repubs……NO!!!

That's Journalism……?That's fair and balanced right?

So he says fox isn't fair and balanced but HE IS ?HYpocrit!!!!

I watch both, but I don’t take either one too seriously. Keith only has “yes men” on to agree with him. (including Rachel Maddow, she’s his mini-me in a pinstriped suit). Also K.O.’s whole show revolves around bashing Fox News and Pres. Bush. I really can’t take much of anything he says seriously. Bill isn’t much better, but at least he has an opposing point of view on. (Unfortunately, he doesn’t always let them speak). I can then go to the internet and look up the points brought up on their shows and decide for myself. I use their shows as a point of reference for things I would like to know more about. I can then do my own research. I would suggest others do the same. Don’t believe everything you read, or see on television. Seek out the answers for yourself, there is no one good source of news information. Also, youtube is now a wonderful source for clips of all news shows and commentary by ordinary people. You can also visit the blogs, left and right wing and make up your own mind. It takes work to find the information, no one is going to spoon feed you all the answers…..

Ok, here’s the deal — I understand Bill O’Reilly is annoying to some people and that Keith Olbermann is annoying to some people and that some people are annoyed by both. But messages like that from Chris, which attack someone by name or handle specifically are annoying to ME.

Either it stops, or we’ll just block comments on these posts going forward. It’s up to you guys. Say whatever you want about O’Reilly. Say whatever you want about Olbermann. Do not talk smack about each other. This is the last warning — next time; no more comments on these posts. There are other places for you to bicker with each other if that’s what you want to do.

Trending “upwards” only because he gets a ton of free publicity by announcing football. That trend will flatten, too. Angry liberals pundits with no journalistic background nor integrity are a dime a dozen…all it takes now is hiring that Daily Kooks wuss, or Arriana Huff-n-puff, and BAM! Olby’s rating drop like a freakin’ “led” balloon.

I watch both and you know what you get with Keith and tonight you found out 100 percent what you get with Bill O. He had the NERVE to say anyone who thinks bush lied or broke laws HATES America and the Troops. Sounds like he’s spewing the Right Wing line. And he covers obamas pastors but doesn’t mention anything about the ones Mccain sought out who said Hitler was a gift from god, We got what we deserved in 9/11 and Katrina was because of Gay people.. Not to mention Mccain financial adviser HELPED Bin laden and terrorists launder and pass money in the 90′s..

Bill O is as right wing as you can get .. We’ll see who is leading the ratings in a year when bush is finally on trial for his crimes

Shawn-what is your definition of “consistently”? KO is consistently losing in all categories, however, he did top BO in 24-55 age demographics twice…5/23 and 5/29…not exactly “consistently”.
