Olberman, Moyers, and Rather are actually journalists. The reich wing liars like Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh have NO PROBLEM lying to fire up their sore-loser listeners.
Reading this would have nade a good drinking game - how many fancy words can you repeat and use in the same letter.
It's more of a din now, than a cacophony.
Moyers and Rather may be journalists, but Olberman is no different, I repeat, no different, than Limbaugh when it comes to venal invective. Anyone who has a segmentment that starts with "the meanest man in America" or "the worst person on the planet" joins the ranks of all "personalities" who defame, degrade and demean others.
You lost your credibility and perspective when you used the term "liars" and "reich wing" and exhonerated Olberman.
Surely there must be some moral obligation to civility and truth. Here the Beck, Hannity, Limabaugh crowd fail miserably.
To "liars | 5:07 a.m. " didn't Dan Rather get fired, or at least get pushed to retire because of running with a poorly researched story?
To "Anonymous | 7:50 a.m." other than hanging up on uncivil callers and proving that the left is wrong, what have Beck, Hannity, Lumbaugh done that is so uncivil? People like Bill Maher have called America stupid, yet that doesn't seem to bother you, why is that, could it be that you are so partisan that anything that goes against your preconceived ideas is automatically wrong and evil?
Anonymous is Rham Emanuel. When I listen to Glenn Beck, I am both entertained and at the same time showered with truth. He uses the Marxists own words against them. How more true can you get?
Why the left continues to give Obama a pass on his agenda and associates is beyond reason.
Beck claims that Obama has an unprecedented number 32 "czars" when in fact Gorge W Bush had 35 “Czars”. He also claims that these “Czars” are just put into place by Obama with no oversight when in fact only eight are Obama appointed unconfirmed brand new “czars”, further fifteen of the “czars” where created by previous administrations. In case you are wondering why “czars” are in quotes it is because that is not their official title but rather a term made up by the media.
On his July 31 episode Glenn Beck invited Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle onto his show to talk about the Consumer Assistance Recycle and Save Act of 2009, more commonly known as the "Cash for Clunkers" program. The program gives consumers vouchers of up to $4,500 dollars in exchange for their old "clunker" cars. The vouchers go toward the purchase of new, more fuel efficient cars. Glenn Beck said that the government will get complete access to your computer and all of your files when you log on to Cars.gov for the Cash for Clunkers program. This claim is false. Beck quoted from a security message on the site for dealers, not the site for the general public.
On the June 29 broadcast of his radio program, Rush Limbaugh said that the energy bill would require "environmental experts" to do "a survey" before people can put their homes on the market: where no such provisions in the law.
hannity gotting caught just a couple of days ago in a lie and for showing false footage on his show.
shall we start with where Beck calls Teddy Roosevelt an "Idiot" in his so kindly titled book "talking to idiots"
Don Gale didn't tell anyone to shut up. He merely pleaded with those who are suffering from the brain cancer known as Limbeckannityoma to get help.
I talked with a man the other day who was surpised to hear that Chrysler was NOT owned by the government. It was news to him that the Italian company Fiat had purchased Chrysler.
Why didn't he know this?
Because he listened to Fox News tell him about Obama being a socialist as "evidenced" by the government taking over all the car companies.
You have a conservative message? Fantastic! But it is cruelty to prey on the weak minded who cannot discern fact from exaggeration.
Your right leg shorten up on you again? Cause you just can't seem to decide whether or not you're down the middle or leaning far right. Didn't you say you're an Independent? I distinctly recall you posting that, so do you really have a voice in the convo that counts, or are you just stirring the pot for your own amusement?

The segment is called Worst person in the World. All of Countdown is tongue in cheek
When Michael Musto or Joel McHale comment about the #1 story which is usually about a Celebrity doing something stupid then you know Sarcam abounds.
I wonder? Is it because KO hates Am Idol and the Beckster loves it that all the love for Glenny and animosity for Keith exists?
"Use the 'off' button."
This may be true, but to the befuddled and easily manipulated, angst-filled and insulting rhetoric on the airwaves has presented a brand new type of addiction.
And with any addiction, psychological problems are sure to follow.
To "beck lie | 9:00 a.m. " that is the "biggest" lie you could come up with, quoting a wrong number. If that is so aweful, you must really hate that big liar Obama. Afterall, he visited 58 states, but skipped out on Alaska and Hawaii. So, Obama thinks there are 60 states total. Last I checked there were only 50 states.
Plus you should actually read what Beck says about his list. He says "Since czar isn't an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder." So, how do you know that what Beck's definition is of a czar is the same as the person that says that there are were 35 czars under Bush. If you read the factcheck article on this, they admit that Beck's method of counting a czar is different than the media's method.
I heard Hannity say a few months ago that this is a Christian Nation.
If it were a Christian nation there would be poor people but no one would go to bed hungry or die from hunger.
If it were a Christan Nation there would be poor people but no one would be sleeping in the streets and there would be no homeless people in this "Christian nation"
There would be no one dying because they don't have health care.
That is the biggest lie that one of the afore mentioned jerks have ever told "this is a Christian nation"
Hannity also once said that homeless people choose to be homeless.
Another big lie.
Isn't it odd how we dislike other's prejudices but are perfectly happy with our own? Probably don't even notice them. Moyers and Rather are journalists who use their platforms to sell a left wing point of view. Bravo to them. It's their right to do so and I respect that right.But they shouldn't pretend to neutral analysis. I tried to keep out any big words this time.
