Next you are going to tell me Beck, Hannity and O'Riely skew to the right.
No Way!

O'Donnel conducts a heck of an interview, whatever his politics.

Agree, he's a really bright guy and can be very provocative.

I'm pretty sure that all three would enthusiastically admit this....not sure what that point would be....

on the other hand, it's nice to see some honesty from some of these "journalists" and political analysts that claim to have no agenda and are supposedly unbiased, I don't really care if they do, just don't smirk and say that you don't

Lawrence O'Donnell doesn't claim to be a "journalist". He's a political analyst.

We argue about some insane things on this site, but arguing MSNBC's relevance takes the cake. They have a line-up of horrendous personalities, they are all Obama rump swabs, and their ratings are laughable.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

From Wiki. I don't have time to do to MSNBC, I'm going fishing.

Lawrence Francis O'Donnell, Jr. (born November 7,[1] 1951) is an American political analyst for the cable news channel MSNBC, who has appeared on The McLaughlin Group, The Al Franken Show, and Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
