Politics aside, tonight's speech

[KB5252]

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, the intellectual level of discourse on Olbermann's show is about a 7. On O'Reilly's it is about a 5. On Hannity it is about a minus 3.

I think Maddow is very smart, but she is trying to copy Olbermann too much and its hard to listen to his glibness for an hour (even if correctly focused) and then hers on top of that, usually on the same subjects.

Olbermann and Hannity are exactly the same, just on opposing sides of the spectrum. O'Reilly is much closer to the middle leaning right. Olbermann's show is just as filled with factual problems and distorted statements as Hannity. The fact that you see Olbermann's show with a high level of factual discourse when it is partisan drivel makes any claim you make of being objective hard to believe at best and void of intellectual honesty at worst.

Here's the thing, I'm over here busting MSNBC's balls and I'm not a huge fan of O'Reilly or really anyone on Fox News.

Edit: Fox News knows how to hire the females. I will say that. Anyone ever watch Fox Business Channel? Nice.

I'm not really a fan of Fox either. When it is a slow night I usually switch around between the three cable news networks to see what stories they are covering and how they cover them.

O'Reilly truly showed he was an idiot during the run up in the oil price.

I have to agree, he did not help himself there.
