I really think MSNBC is the laughing stock of any sane person.
Hey, you can't see Dick Morris make a fool of himself if you don't
watch Fox.

I'm just writing about the "news" programs on Faux. Their commentators,
such as Hannity, O'Rally, and soon, Beck, are just plain trash.

They have their news slant, but actually have a better news arm than
the other networks from what I've seen. CNN still reigns on the
international front.
I think Hannity and Beck are idiots. If you can ignore O'Reilly's
pomposity - difficult, but doable - he's not bad if you're interested
in the subject matter he's discussing. Good polemicist.
You actually get different points of view, agree or not.
All IMHO.

I watched O'Rally a couple of times because I was wondering why
Olbermann kept poking fun at him. I understood almost immediately. You
call O'Rally pompous...I suppose my calling him a gasbag is about the same.

My favorite cable commentator is Rachel Maddow. She's very smart, very
fast, and very nice. Also very funny.

Not interested. Because like Olbermann - who I heard got her the show
- she surrounds herself with people who agree with her.
And like him, she beats the same drum over and over and over.
Booooring. Pretty much like Fox gets on a rag about something.
With Olbermann, Maddow and you it's Palin at the Turkey Farm.
With Fox it's Eric Holder pardoning Adolf Hitler.
Hey, that's what boats, the channel flipper and mouse button are for.
Escape from the boring or repetitious.
IMHO.
