O'Reilly has always and will always blow out everyone at the 8pm timeslot.
Neither is Hannity. He's a RINO, just like Bush's cronies. I can't stand Olbermann.

I think we have different definitions of "conservative."

I pretty much don't watch any of them unless I need a laugh. I do watch Morning Joe in the mornings because Pat Buchanan is hilarious. So I'd have to throw in a wild card and say Joe Scarborough or Neal Conan on "Talk of the Nation" (but, he's on the radio).

Olbermann is the most hateful man on TV.
O'Reilly isn't even a Republican, why do liberals hate him so much. At least he shows respect to our President, unlike Olberloser back under Bush.
Bullsh!t....he can claim to "not" be a Repub all he wants, but O'Reilly is a Repub neo-con who is in the running for most hateful person with Olberman...

Agreed. I would put those two at or near the top of any "hateful" list.

Can't stand watching anyone who screams down the opposition, or who has guests on that scream down each other. Completely unwatchable television.

The Springer Influence.....forefather of the screaming host phenomena was Morton Downy Jr, but the screaming guests are a carryover from the Springer shows....a sad commentary indeed...

I can't understand how anyone can watch "shoutdown" shows... however "pleasant discourse" on PBS is the greatest sedative I've ever had...

I'll watch Countdown from time to time... and if Olbermann isn't overly self-righteous or baiting O'Reilly... the show can be amusing and interesting... but for the most part, it too is unwatchable.

Since we're talking about Talking Heads on TV...

"Damn that television, what a bad picture! Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster. There's nothing on tonight she said, I don't know what's the matter. Nothing's ever on she said, I don't know why you bother ...

...Judy's in the bedroom inventing situations, Bobby's on the street today scouting locations. They've enlisted all their families, they've enlisted all their friends, it helped change their relationship and made it work again..."

I seldom watch any of them. I voted for Olbermann because I think he is funny. I also like Matthews and Beck.

LONDON - Britain for the first time has published a list of people barred from entering the country for what the government says is fostering extremism or hatred.

The list includes popular American talk-radio host Michael Savage, who has called the Muslim holy book, the Quran, a "book of hate." Savage also has enraged parents of children with autism by saying in most cases it's "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out."

The list Tuesday also includes Americans Stephen Donald Black, a white supremacist, and anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps.

Hamas parliament member Yunis Al-Astal and Egyptian cleric Safwat el-Higazi also are on the banned list.

I enjoy Glenn Beck for the most part. I think he is a complete goon at times though as well.

Forget ALL those guys. On BOTH sides. The best guy on TV right now is Dave Ramsey. Check out his show on Fox Business. The straight scoop about the economy and how to navigate it.

Even though they hardly ever espouse opinions, my preference for the daytime has got to be Martha McCallum and Megyn Kelly. Can't go wrong watching THOSE two present the news! Too bad I don't have cable anymore....

My son-in law is the producer of Ramsey's show...

...as for Megyn Kelly, I'd eat the corn out of her poop without silverware.
