I don't know of a network that gives a prime-time host slot to the Westboro Baptist Church.
I don't want to mute the likes of Lawrence O'Donnell, I want them exposed as the deranged, racist, hate-mongers that they are. |

any prime time news gives them coverage
Expose as such is not what happens. there is no comment by the management it's up to us to decide as to what they are to us. |

Glen Beck...?
Who is good there?
Mathews, Scarborough for starters.
I find O'Donnell a little extreme for me. He's basically Oblemerman v.2.0. You might not like Ed Schultz or Dylan Ratigan (who I know had an epic rant that went viral a few years ago) but I find their respective causes, especially Rattigan's push to get money out of politics a pretty good take.
The Few times I have seen maddow I found her boring.
You don't have to agree with someone to think they are a good TV host. I think O'Riely conducts a prety good interview. Brit Hume is another good one, even if I don't agree with them. I can't stand the bubble heads in the morning or Hannity in the evening.

Chris Matthews? The guy who said he gets a tingle up his leg when Obama speaks? The guy who says that opposition to Obama is based on raccism?
Yes, Fox has its share of simple-minded ideologues like Hannity. But MSNBC's entire prime-time lineup looks like a bunch of guys who just escaped from a mental hospital. |

Have you seen Matthews lately? he has been all over Obama. I think that tingle has worn off...
So who at Fox is not a simple minded idealogue, besides the two I mentioned (Bill and Hume) |

Sean Hannity is a simple-minded ideologue (as is O'Donnell, Sharpton, Mathews, Maddow, and Ed Schultz at MSNBC).
Bill O'reilly isn't an ideologue...if you think he is, then either you don't weatch his show, or you don't know what the word means. O'Reilly has thoughtful liberals on, every single night. Every single night, O'Reilly says to a liberal "that's a good point". That's precisely what people want, and that's precisely why he dominates. Every single person on MSNBC's prime time, hates conservatives. Every single one of them.
Britt Hume isn't an ideological, dishonest hack like the morons at MSNBC. He's to the right of center, but he's not remotely comparable to anyone on MSNBC's prime time lineup.
There's this notion out there that FoxNews is the right-wing equivalent of MSNBC. Not even close. FoxNews may be the most right-wing cable station out there, but they're nowhere near as radical as MSNBC. Liberals get a fair shot every single night on Fox. |

Jim:
see above.
This quote was misconstrued.
Besides the two I mentioned as good hosts. |
