Someone please explain to me the anti-Dylan Ratigan sentiment here.

[annabanana]

I'm listening to him now, and I am having a hard time disagreeing with him.

[librechik]

1. I love Ratigan, think he's getting a bad rap around here for some reason

I guess he's been too fair to RWers sometimes, and that infuriates people. I'm not on the hate Ratigan list, but you are bound to find many here who do (!?) whatever....

[Warpy]

2. He's like Tweety

in that he's all over the map sometimes, inconsistent from day to day.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

7. Bingo.

Just like Tweety, you have people on DU that love him and people that hate him.

[Subdivisions]

3. The most truth anywhere on cable news. n/t

[Fire1]

4. Don't know what you're talking about. I've always liked Dylan.

[ellenfl]

5. i find him to be all over the charts too . . . and i WANT to like him! eom

[annabanana]

6. My sense is that he is playing catch-up on the politics, but that he has

some real grounding in the economics of the matter.

[DJ13]

8. He pops the illusion that everything is fine

Which bothers some people who dont want to hear any bad news with a Democrat in the WH.

9. Like Warpy said, he's all over the map. Here's an example:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x433642#433650

He takes Beck to task over climate change, and then for no reason takes a cheap shot at Al Gore as a "fear monger". Why?

[OHdem10]

11. I agree. I like him but he seems to have a Kneejerk need to

criticize Democrats if he dares criticize Republicans.

This can give a wrong impression of him. It is almost
as if he can identify and explain problems well. He
seems obsessive in saying both parties do it. This will
never lead to correction of any problem.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. Yeah, it's a common practice in the media today.

(and the government *cough* Obama *cough*)

I guess we're just spoiled by Rachel who straight up tells it like it is.

[gateley]

10. I'm a BIG fan! Didn't even know there was an anti-Dylan sentiment, although

regardless of who, some of us love him/her, others of us hate him/her. Just how we individually perceive someone, I guess.

[Uzybone]

12. Completely inconsistent, with a bent towards giving conservatives a pass

always does the "Both sides are the same" shtick., when talking about liberals and conservatives.

GOPers and fringe party folks like that kind of talk, but it doesn't match reality.

[90-percent]

14. Dylan

I've seen him say some things that were downright courageous. As in; "Dylan, your corporate overlords are not going to be happy with you saying that." kind of courage.

I like him and he sure does some insightful reporting when it comes to the Wall Street/Bank bail out coverage.
