The dems haven't successfully killed dissent, it's that the 3ight has relied on ENTERTAINERS to be the face of the party.

Jimmy, I usually agree with you, but not on this one. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about any of those 3 people. In fact, I would go as far as to say that all 3 of them are impossible to listen to without wanting to put a gun in your mouth. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Spence, I would argue that Olberman is very mainstream even though he's a donkey. He hosts a nightly, hour long talk show on MSNBC. Not exactly local cable access, is it?
Oh, and have you ever heard of a football game called the Super Bowl? He was an on field commentator for that.
I bet that he is more recognizable than Hannity to the general public.

Moore, Olberman (used to be a fan, now he's a douche), nuts, Madow has gone over the edge from her Air America days where she was mildly entertaining. Rush, Hannity, O'Reiley - clowns. Problem is, if you dig enough in to the issues you get nauseaus listening to any one of them. Savage is the absolute bonkers.
I miss Ed Schultz - he was good.

Savage is an idiot. I love the Coast to Coast AM AFTER fishing for my UFO / Bigfoot / Tessla Coil info   - LOVE IT (but i leave the tinfoil hat for Eben) 
Matt Allen, the Savage in training is very good IMO and not the whack job of Savage.

He might not be a whack job, but he is the protoypical, smarter than you radiohost. If you don't agree your either ignorant, ill informed or an idiot. I can't stand him. Dan Yorke has the same smugness, but is at least more pallatable and less insulting. |

Bill Moyers on PBS is really the only one with any credibility but doesn't cover the issues on a nightly basis as the others do. He's out of the old-school Cronkite/Murrow mold of serious journalists.
Although I watch some or mostly all of Olberman, Matthews and Maddow almost every night, I find sometimes I just can't take the manic ranting for very long - however they do pick up on some important points that the others seem to miss.
I think they need to downgrade to decaf or something - it would make it a little more bearable...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Smug - yes, annoying occasionally. Right? Sadly more often than not. |

I find Matt Allen to be exceptionally bad. About the same level of political discourse I get on WEEI.
