Default Do you like Keith Olberman?

I have seen on this forum A LOT of people HATE Keith Olberman. As a liberal, I can honestly say I hate him as well. I was just wondering what the percentages are of people who hate him, and to see if anyone actually DOES like him.

However, Glenn Beck is still the top of my hit list.

He sucks. He tries to be hard to be a journalist and seem real hard-hitting and epic, but fails really bad.

What's wrong with Beck?

Sorry, but Glenn Beck is a riot. Unlike Keith Olberhack, Beck is genuinely entertaining.

Now for entertainment purposes, I don't think he would be that bad (besides the point I don't find him funny since he looks like a giant bag of blubber bluttering out inane comments) but to have him on a news network as a "journalist" ,like Keith Olbermann ,is just a joke.

He takes rational concepts developed by other people, trivializes them and spins them to reflect his own warped sense of reality that he thinks is completely "logical." He invites guests on that only look stupid and clumsy compared to him so he doesn't have to defend himself and can just as easily talk down to them. And as for reporting the "truth" he just gives his own opinion and claims it as fact.

Now if you want sources for all these generalizations, I am not about to go look up everything just to prove my opinion. However, as for my ad-hominem attack about being a giant bag of blubber, I think that is uncontroversial:

I don't hate Keith, I abhor him. His rants turn my stomach because I know it is all schtick. The man had principles before he sought ratings.

I want to strangle Glenn on his foreign policy ideas and a few of his ideas that stem from the notion of "family". However, he is genuinely pretty good on domestic issues and I find his show entertaining for the most part. Mainly because he addresses issues most news shows don't.

I would rather have my fingernails pulled out than watching this guy .
olberman is 'skooter political-pundit-enemy' #1.
in typical 'farfarfarfar left' fashion,
olberman is convinced he is the only man alive who knows anything,
and he has no problem taking cheap slanderous accusations and theories,
and passing them off as actual news.
olberman is a joke that was never funny.

for the record,
'skooter political-pundit-enemy' #2 is sean hannity.
for exactly the same reasons.
sean hannity may be a conservative icon,
but he fights like a liberal,
and i cant stand the sound of his voice.
