38. Strange you brought up fox news.

Since I always thought Keith Olbermann was very similar to a fox news commentator in style, just different in message. Egotistical, Angry, condescending, 100% certain of himself, etc, just from the liberal point of view.

However, since you're suggesting Fox News for me, what programs would you suggest I watch being a pro choice, anti war, pro single payer healthcare, pro gay rights atheist? I'm sure I can find that viewpoint represented on Fox News right?

If you noticed, I did not attack Keith's viewpoint. I attacked him personally. Its possible to agree with someone, and still not like him. And its not like anything I mentioned is news. Ask any of his former coworkers or former bosses (Al Gore for example) and they will tell you the same thing. I think even Keith himself has admitted he's a jerk and also takes his schtick to far some times.
