Hmm, I think Rush is by far the most respected. I mean come on, they tried to enact the fairness act to silence him. Who else has that much power over America?

Rush? "Most respected"?

ah ha ha ha ha HE HE HE HE giggle ..... hack, cough, choke, puke....

Dude, he's the butt of everyone's jokes.

"Here, wanna Vicodin? They're quite a Rush."

I mean, come on, Rush? That's the best you can do?

Rush doesn't do news anyway, he does [U}opinion[/u]. There's nothing that Rush is going to tell you, that has anything to do with news. Rush is just a tabloid guy, he's not even an "anchor-man". Rush is like, more tabloid that even O'Really is. And he's more of a pompous ass than even Sean Vanity.

Come on dudes and dudettes, it really saddens me to hear people say stuff like that.

Unhappy NBC’s Tim Russert dies of heart attack at 58



RIP Tim Russert Jr. ( 1950 - 2008 )
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25145431/
Son of a garbage-man, moderator of Meet The Press, The Explainer-in-Chief

You will be missed.

“Lawrence Spivak, who founded ‘Meet the Press,’ told me before he died that the job of the host is to learn as much as you can about your guest’s positions and take the other side. And to do that in a persistent and civil way. And that’s what I try to do every Sunday.” -Tim Russert, 2007

I picked Jon Stewart.

Even if he is hosts a fake news show.

there are two current video-journalists who deserve to be added:

Fareed Zakaria (1pm sundays at CNN) - outstanding insights into foreign affairs

Rachel Maddow (Air America and guest analyst on MSNBC) - very reasoned observations focused on American politics

Considering that Tim Russert was a commentator and most guys on the list are commentators, that really narrows it down a bit. I'd say it's a close one between Shepard Smith and Anderson Cooper, two real news guys.

I went for Bill O'reilly. I like his style of reporting and stuff...I know he gets out of hand sometimes during a discussion but it's all good fun Gotta make sure his opponent is staying on the topic at hand.

Thank God you didn't put Allen Colmbes on there.

Stewart and Colbert are funny, but are not newsmen...more like people who report reality.

Finally...you spelled Sean Hannity wrong. He is my #2, after O'Reilly.

LOL! The dead guy is winning. Come to think of it, I would have more respect for the rest of these people if they were dead, too. I would know they were through lying.
