Lawrence O'Donnell is the definition of a hack

That is true in some cases.

But I would argue that conservatives are forced to argue substance more often, because the lap dog media never forces the liberals to do so.

FOX has Bill O'Reilly. He's a hack among hacks. Like the king of worthless pundits. Anyone has an opposing view? YELL OVER THE TOP OF THEM!! And the people eat it up.

They both have reasoning for their arguments. Odonnell is just sarcastic and mean. Oreilly is bombastic and rude. I dont watch either.

O'reilly is FOS. He is nothing like that in RL. He plays a character on tv and makes loads of cash for it. If that's not American, I don't know what is.

The problem with both Fox and MSNBC in this regard is that they are preaching to their respective choirs. If their aim is to be persuasive to some undefined middle, then both should be more even keeled in terms of story selection and presentation.

Where do you get this silly idea that they care about the message? The left cares because the message fits the individuals and their agendas, but I doubt that heartily about Fox. The channel is absolutely about audience size via differentiation. Why presume it's more. MSNBC erroneously thought more liberal would differentiate them from the crap otherwise available, but it has proven silly. Since it has failed, they've gone full blown senseless about it.

The other day he had Richard Dawkins on. Fox took the interview and chopped it up, placing Dawkins words out of context. Completely misleading viewers. He is a scumbag.

That kind of "journalism," and even "commentary" is pretty much Fox's MO, regardless of who the host is.

My favorite - and they do this all the time in news stories -- is to report it this way: "Some people say...." and then they spell out the criticism and just leave it at that.

"Some people say ...."

Well, I'm some people, and I say Fox is utter crap.

Is there footage/transcript of the "whole" interview?

Better researched, better argued, better presented.

In fact, the reason the right hates him more is because they realize he was somewhat entertaining and was calling them out on their hypocrisy in an effective way.

I guarantee you I did not think the clown was the least bit entertaining.

I only found him entertaining in that it seemed he was constantly on the verge of crying or popping a blood vessel. Either would have been television gold.
