No idea who Keith Olberman or McEnroe are. I get the vast majority of my news from the CBC - an arms-length crown corporation that doesn't have to answer to either the government or to shareholders to justify ratings, and thus I believe to be the most unbiased (and unsensationalist) news source in either Canada or the US.
Ok, I'm going to assume you really don't know(CoolChick does however know). This is an entertainment show on Fox. There is a right wing nut and a leftwing nut on at the same time. They both admit to being con/lib respectively and do not hide their beliefs in the least. In fact they celebrate them. Their job is to duke it out every night with guests. It's like political sport. It is NOT news reporting, it is discussion of the news from both sides of the political spectrum. That's it, they are paid to create excitement and arguments like this.


Now compare that to Hardball on NBC. Chris Mattews is a Democrat and has worked in Democratic administrations. They do NOT inform the viewership of this and the show claims to be unbiased. George Stephanopolis (SP) has a similar show on ABC (I think) he also worked in Democratic administrations and ran Clintons campaign. They do NOT inform the viewership of this and the show claims to be unbiased.

Fox News gives Hannity a show, they flat azz tell you he's a HUGE Conservative, hires a Liberal to debate him. And you find Fox to be the one that is biased??????????????

Uhhh where's my beer
