Best Political Talk Show
« on: February 02, 2008, 09:44:43 PM »
POLITICAL talk show hosts.

Radio and television talk shows included.

The O'Reilly category includes all the usual pro-Bush types like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham.  (I assume that stuff like the McLaughlin Group and News Hour with Jim Lehrer is too boring for most of you to tolerate, and please note the prejudice of such programs leans in the same direction as Limbaugh and O'Reilly.)

The other category includes Bill Maher and other "liberals" (Al Franken, Michael Moore, Now on PBS, etc).  Bill Moyer's televised investigative journalism reports also belong in this category.


If anyone seriously advocates any legitimate "third Party" talk show hosts which do not reasonably fit into one of these two categories, then I will include try to incorporate them ina subsequent poll.

I chose Maher mostly because I hate O'Reily's guts. I don't see how you can lump ALL of the liberal talk shows and ALL of the right-wing talk shows together, though...


But okay...

You've got a point, but as it stands this poll will show where people stand AND reveal other talk shows we perhaps do not know of from both sides of the fence.

At the risk of uniting both sides against me, I will state that my favorite talk show host is Michael Collins Piper (who I would categorize with Bill Maher at a long stretch, but naturally never O'Reilly or Limbaugh):

I prefer liberal talk shows over conservative ones, even though I'm conservative.  I don't like the current crop of conservatives in politics or on TV/radio.  Rush Limbaugh,  Bill O'Reilly and their ilk are pompous, arrogant, windbags.   
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

O'reilly is not a Political Talk Show. It is a Idiot Generator with a tie.

The man force feeds his bile and venom to anyone willing to sit through it all (the numbers depress educated people the world over). He has no purpose but to act as a sort of "PR Troll". There is nothing political about his rants against French people, gays, musicians, freedom lovers, and animals. The man is a soundbyte, not a politican.
My problem with his ideas is that it is a ridiculous thing.

Genius. PURE, undiluted genius.

I wonder if Rush Limbaugh realizes how stupid it is for people to call themselves "ditto heads"?

Ann Coulter is a hateful, spiteful bitch.  If you look closely when she's talking you can see an Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Which talk show does she host?  ???
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?

None as far as I am so far aware, but she appears often enough on talk shows, particularly those of the Fox network.

She seems to be a bit more hardcore than Limbaugh.  She's pro-McCarthy, for example.

I noticed you did not mention Ann Coulter among those you dislike.

Consider her part of the "ilk".
