    I think its more the same tool in two different boxes.

    I think that analogy is better suited for Joe Leibermen.

  • hannity and Olbermann are both very biased to their respective sides and don't try and hide it.

    The MAJOR difference is Olberman like to use things like facts to back up his opinions. Facts matter not to Hannity.
  • I like Keith Olbermann.

    Atleast Olbermann doesn't lie. O'Reilly and Hannity are both just plain disgusting. They represent all that is wrong with America.

    But, Hannity flat out lies. AMongst other things ... he KNEW Obama wasn't a muslim, but he was more than happy to keep that bullshit alive.

    dont get me wrong. i am not a hannity fan. but the difference is he is a commentator and nbc has olbermann as a journalist and new anchor. hannity actually has people on his show who disagrees with him. olbermann only puts people with similar views to himself. same thing with oreilly. if you watched both of those obama interviews this week (olbermann's and oreilley's) you clearly got more info out of the oreilley interview. olbermann gave him layup after layup. oreilley challeneged him and, yes, interupted and was annoying at times, but it was a lively debate. i ended up gaining a lot of respect for obama after that interview and i think oreilley did as well.

    msnbc is garbage. but at least they took the first step to seperate their commentators from anchoring serious events. (and to the guy whol said hannnity has anchored those events as well, he's wrong. fox has broadcast hannity and colmes from both conventions, sure. but that is the same show he does every night. he didnt anchor any special coverage of it like olbermann has been doing for years. theres a big difference.)

    of course they are biased. but these are COMMENTATORS my dear. olbermann is just as biased to the left but he has been anchoring NEWS programs for years. the people you mentioned host their own talk shows or appear on talk shows to give their OPINIONS whether you agree with them or not.

    This man could be our leader in a few months' time, and he deserves a bare minimum of respect. You can disagree with the policies, but respect the office. And let it be said I would feel the exact same way if McCain went on Olbermann and Keith was similarly douchey.

    well this last part impresses me because because you olbermann has been treating mccain and palin with such little respect this campaign season, you would have thought mccain's first name was "hillary"----HEY OH

    (to people who didnt get that--olbermann treated hillary like his bitch during the primaries because he really really really didnt want her to win. neither did i, but its not good when you can clearly tell when a journalist or news anchors leans a certain way. thats all!)

  • I agree with NBC taking him off of the live tv anchor job... he isn't fit for that.

    But as far as opinion shows go, he isn't any worse than the other guys. At least he doesn't call his show a "no spin" show or "fair and balanced". I have no problem with opinion shows on Fox News, but it irks me when they claim to be balanced.

    Well, they can claim to be somewhat balanced since they bring people on the show with opposite opinions. Olbermann NEVER brings someone on his show with opposite opinions. He is weak.

    I don't know about lying but he is definitely a hypocrit. I was watching a clip of him when the whole Bristol Palin pregnancy fiasco hit the media and he had nothing but praise for Sarah, Bristol and the rest of the family for their handling of this teenage pregnancy. Rewind several months when the whole Jamie Lynn Spears teen pregnancy fiasco hit the media and O'Reilly had nothing for contempt for her and her teen pregnancy and flat out said that this type of behavior by a minor is a direct reflection on the parent's and their inability to control their child.

    yep--that is a fair point...however he was not just talking about jamie lynn spears having a baby as the sole reason the mother was a bad parent. he was saying that how she went about raising both of her kids qualified her as a bad parent. she pimped both of her kids out since they were little kids and now they both have major issues. your liberal website where you saw the oreilly "clip" probably didnt mention that.

    I actually didn't get it from a liberal website, but thanks for the assumption. This is just one instance of O'Reilly's hypocracy and I will also admit that liberal pundits do the same exact thing. I will give O'Reilly this much and that is that he is probably one of the more balanced pundits out there. He definitely leans to the right but it is not above him to criticize Republicans.

    Let me just add that just because an individual criticizes a right leaning pundit or a Republican does not make them a liberal. I call bullshit when I see it and it doesn't matter what side of the political fence it comes from. Unlike many on this board who sit on one side of the fence and point to the other while ignoring the blatant misconduct or hypocracy within their own party of choice, I don't play that game. I don't owe my allegance to any ideology or party in this country.

    i am with you on that. i'm an independent. i guess i just assumed you had a liberal bias because, like you mentioned, this board leans overly leftward. my apologies!
