It's called entertainment. And a lot of us love our Billo jokes. Oh and don't say that Billo isn't obsessed with Olbermann. He's been trying everything short of murder to get him off the air.

They have their faults, but you have to give props to Sean Hannity and O'Reilly for the support the give to our troops. Both have raised millions for Injured troops, and millions for the families of fallen troops. I understand that news is now people spouting off their opinions about everything instead of reporting fact and letting people decide for themselves, so its impossible to get the straight shoot on things. Its a shame that news is all opinions. People are too lazy to develop opinions of things so they rely on these people to form one for them. Theres not a person "reporting" news that I trust but I do respect some of the efforts made by some of them to do good, even if they are slime. Its refreshing to come to the boards and see intelligent people that cant make opinions for them selves instead of letting tv, newspapers, or bands making them for them.

You are absolutley about the state of "news" today. The failure of the fourth estate to correctly serve the people is alarming. And everything has to be black or white for these guys and I have to believe that they are pushed hard to be extreme one way or another while on air, which only causes more of these fools to come along and challenge each other (e.g. limbaugh v. air america, o'reilly v. olbermann)

Umm yea Billo is obsessed with Olbermann. Yea i see that ALL the time. lol And if its called entertainment Olbermann is flopping in the ratings so he must not be...... too entertaining. Why is it that Olbermann NEVER has anyone on his show who has an opinion that differs from him???? Yet he's quick to bash EVERY one??? Olbremann is a coward. Billo maybe a dick but at least he poorly attempts to have both sides of a subject. Whens the last time Olbermann did that?

Ooops. I guess you said it first.

But seriously, it's as if Olbermann goes out of his way to have a reason to say something...ANYTHING about O'Reilly, coin him as "worst person in the world" for the 148th time and it really does border on obsessive.

Dude needs to resolve that issue (which is obviously personal) and stop letting it filter into his show so much. It's not very high on the scale of professionalism.

Not sure where you are getting your ratings from? But I'm pretty sure Olbermann does quite well. Why don't you post a link for proof. I'd like to see exactly how many ignorant racist hillbillies watch Billo's show.

Oh and not wanting to have idiots on his show just so he can bash them Jerry Springer style doesn't make him a coward. It's called class. Something Billo gives up for ratings. Actually I doubt Billo ever had any.

Just go to the nelson ratings page(you have to sign up so I can post the cable news ratings). Yes Olbermann does well, he averages about an 0.8 but Billo trounces him nearly every night(about 50-75% more viewers). As for the whole non opposing quest thing, Olbermann only state one view, HIS!!! Billo may be a dick and classless yelling at his quests, but BOTH POINTS ARE ATLEAST BROUGHT UP! I really could care for either but Billo 1-ups Olberman on letting people hear both sides.

REALLY bad example.

Ed is not a mouthpeice for a multinational corporation or a fascist political agenda. His first priority is not selling ad space for shampoo and cars. Ed speaks for himself, is sponsored by no one. In all likelyhood he donates money he never tells anyone about. He probably doesn't use it as a publicity stunt like your heroes Bill and Sean.

"no more" for example, isn't on a pearl jam record. I would be very suprised to find that ed has made 1 red cent on it.

but unlike you, I don't claim to know for sure.

Good point I do not know for sure. I have been PWND. But i still like Billo and Hanity, and Ed still rocks. To each his own my friend. We'll agree to disagree. I respect anyone with a voice. Take care.
