Sean Hannity gets on my nerves. Bad. And he doesn't come across as very smart to me. I've never read a book by him and probably won't. I normally like to read things that I find intellectually stimulating and challenging. I can't imagine this guy ever writing anything that I would enjoy.

Ann Coulter is annoying too. And I realize beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but this woman is not attractive to me at all. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm sure many women view me the same way.
I'm fat, bald and 40. - Everything you never wanted to be. ;) But I'm not a GOP figure head either. And I wonder how this girl ever got to be considered a person we should look to for advice.

Palin is attractive... until she talks. That voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. And again, I'd like to hear something intelligent come out of her mouth rather than just parroting, "I'm a maverick... I'm a maverick...". The first time I ever heard her was when she spoke at the GOP convention. I'll give credit where credit is due. She did do outstanding that evening. But since then, I've never been impressed. And her book wouldn't be worth reading to me.

Mark Levin rants on the radio like a mad man. I did pick up his book and read it though. He's rumored to be a 'constitutional scholar'. I don't know about that. But I do know that there is some worthwhile stuff in his book. Especially when he discusses immigration. It is well thought out and make a lot of sense. But seriously, do you have to act like such a nut on your show?

Limbaugh, believe it or not, is a very intelligent man. I've never personally met someone who doesn't at least give him credit for being sound in his positions that actually listens to him. The people I know who don't like him have never even listened to him for even 30 minutes. Rather they form opinions based on hand picked soundbites. Without exception, every time I've heard someone bash him over a comment he's made, that I heard him make live, it is taken out of context. And there is no doubt in my mind that it is done intentionally. He's the only public conservative figure that I can think of that I can tolerate listening to.

Having said that, I try to listen to msnbc/cnn to get another perspective on things. But I'm sorry, msnbc's line up is a who's who of wing-nuttery. Olberman has lost his mind. That Madow woman is more annoying that Coulter and Palin combined. And that Ed guy is nothing short of a corrupt anarchist.

So, maybe its not the conservative. Maybe I just don't like media people. :)

Try Fareed Zakaria on Sunday morning at 9 on CNN. He's probaby the best interviewer on TV. Then try Reliable Sources right after that. They take the weeks soundbytes and then discuss them.

I'm a moderate, but all those people get on my nerves. Same with their counterparts on the other side. And yes, I've listened to or watched full shows, so it's not a lack of context so much as an aversion to shrill, unproductive diatribes.

Hannity is only good when he actually gets the facts right but that's not often enough. Like his stuff when he went on about the spending our government was doing a couple years ago. And all of the stuff he had on health care in other countries and states. But his show is pretty unwatchable for the most part.

I do listen to Rush sometimes. I don't like him for reasons that have nothing to do with his politics. I do sometimes agree with him but often not.

My complaint about Rush is he is blinded by his belief that everything not Republican is wrong or at least that is how he comes across to me, and so he blasts with a shotgun when he should be swatting with a rolled up newspaper.

Rush also has on slow news days a tendency to focus on minutiae and blow things out of proportion, which only makes him look petty, mean and small. Stick to the issues, Rush, even if it means rehashing something instead of making a mountain out of a pimple.

I am no fan of Obama or any of the administration's policies. I do think that we are in the third of three bad choices for President in a row, with W being the first two. As a registered Independent, I don't accept as dogma the policies of either party or the Libertarians, though I can agree with parts of all three. That usually leaves me scratching my head come election time because I cannot support any major candidate without reservation.

Limbaugh has proven himself to be too much of a hypocrite for me.

If you listened to him more, you would know he is quick to go after republicans who behave as socialists, and/or other types of bad behavior. He often criticizes W Bush, Bush Senior, McCain and Lindsay Graham, Arlan Specter when he was a republican, both of the Maine Senators, etc. He does realize, however, that only the republican party can overcome the democrats, and that trying to create a conservative third party will only strengthen the democrats.

My biggest problem with Rush is that I'm pretty uptight about how someone sounds when speaking...and well, he sounds like a fat guy who ran 2 feet and the ice cream truck taunted him before it ran away. Between the nasally voice and the constant gasping like an asthmatic who has never been introduced an inhaler he's pretty unlistenable to me.

I blame teachers and professors who stressed not being a stammering fool when public speaking.

Prager's thought provoking. And I like to listen to Michael Medved because he at least invites liberals on and debates them without calling them names.

But like landrun said, it seems that both sides are poisoned by the need to be as over the top as possible, simply because they appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Perhaps that explains why Jon Stewart is so popular.

And why I spend 90% of my time listening to sports talk radio. Because at least it's not repetitive like political talk can be.

Don't ever watch, listen, or read anything she has to say. Apparently, I'm better off for it.

Don't know much about him other than Hannity talks about him a lot. Not a ringing endorsement so I've never investigated further.

The people I know who don't like him have never even listened to him for even 30 minutes. Rather they form opinions based on hand picked soundbites.

And there is no doubt in my mind that it is done intentionally. He's the only public conservative figure that I can think of that I can tolerate listening to.

Limbaugh goes over most people's heads, especially those that don't even bother listening to him, just repeat the "Rush is the Devil" sound bites. The hypocrites that rail about him being a hypocrite which apparently invalidates everything he's ever said are especially tiresome.



i somehow went years without knowing that a guy named michael savage had a radio show. the other day i was scanning the am radio trying to find a sports broadcast, and stumbled upon his show. i felt a little dumber after listening to it. and im a republican.

I've recently discovered Savage and I have to admit I really enjoy his shows. He is different and takes some getting used to, but I think one of the things I like best is that he just doesn't give a **** anymore. He's fed up with everybody. And he isn't a Republican.

I always love the "people who hate/make fun of Rush never listened to his show" argument.

I listened to that show for quite awhile. It was good comedy, I just couldn't stand his delivery or his stammering. It's nothing against his message, it's always been about his way of delivery and how nails on chalkboard it was for me to listen to.

I also can't listen to people who can't enunciate properly as well. I can't stand listening to athletes get interviewed including Sam, because of using filler phrases like "um, uh, you know" etc, because I was taught that when you do that, it is because you don't have anything to say to fill that void at that moment.

Liddy is definitely intelligent and articulates himself very well. He is also not a shill for the Republican party and he will have a meaningful debate with those who oppose his views.

However, I wouldn't endorse anyone who was a key figure in the Watergate break-ins. That behavior is anti-American. Nor can I endorse someone who encourages the shooting of police officers - whether they be ATF or FBI or local officers.

This is where I disagree with the "guns are to protect me from the govt" crowd. That's fine in theory but nowhere has anyone fully articulated at what point does rights violations become serious enough to justify violent aggression against the government as opposed to redressing your grievances via the courts (as most sane people at least attempt to do). If we all shot back every time we felt a police officer violated our rights then we'd have thousands of officers killed daily.

I don't see how any reasonable person can lump CNN into the "entertainment category" that Fox and to a lesser-degree, MSNBC are involved with. CNN maintains a journalistic effort and at least tries to impart actual news to people. Sure, every host will have their inherent biases, but overall CNN is a legitimate news channel.

Fox has never been a news source. It has great ratings, but it's clearly in the entertainment business. It gives the conservative right what they want...unapologetic right-wing rallying and left-bashing. That's fine, that's America...but let's not sell it as anything else.

CNN really hasn't been in the news business for a long time either. The one that's closest to news is Fox. But that's not true at 4 and 8:00 those 2 programs basically aren't news. Although Glenn Beck does do some great stuff on history and how it is relevant today. Hannity is useless. O'Reilly, Bair(sp?) and Gretta pretty much are all about news. I gained a ton of respect for Bair after he went after the President by actually interviewing him instead of treating him like a god like the other networks do.

Please tell me what time to tune in to Fox or MSNBC for news. I can't seem to tune in at the right time.

Yea, I get stuck with polls that add up to 120%, manipulated poll results that don't offer a margin of error, breaking news that broke 18 months ago, labeling Rs that embarrass themselves as Ds, airing online polls that don't attempt to paint anything liberal in a good light as fact...

8:00 Central is when you should tune into MSNBC. Rachel Maddow is the only TV show worth watching.

If you want news stick to BBC and NPR. You'll get real news coverage that isn't taylored to getting the highest rating possible and you might actually learn what's going on in the world even if it has no direct impact on the U.S.

CNN needs to put Larry King out to pasture.

True. NPR is great at getting original stories and pursuing what they deem worthy, not racing to imitate what everyone else is doing.

NPR is bad at what they do. They give too much attention to the right, especially the religious right.

NPR is crap. BBC is alright though.

All this talk of MSNBC got me to turn it on, and they just had a commercial for a show April 19 on the Timothy McVeigh tapes. Part of me wants to see it...a bigger part of me wishes McVeigh could be put to death over and over again in the most horrifying ways possible.

Of CNN, MSNBC and FOX I can safely say that CNN has the least overall bias.

Up until a couple of years ago I may have agreed. Their tea party coverage was especially disgusting.

That particular time of every year I honestly expect that whatever McVeigh, Colombine, and Waco retrospectives they are gonna run will be pre-empted by another nut job. I certainly hope not, but that's just a bad juju time of year. I very much suspect that this is why the FBI moved on this recent "right wing Christian militia" when they did.

We may have moved into the days of terrorism being almost completely defined as muslim extremist operations, but we had our own home grown nutjobs operating in pretty crazy ways in between the 2 high profile Islamic attacks and we'd be VERY wrong to forget that and let out guard down.

I love moderates. When the bullets start flying, they will be right in the middle to catch them;)
