The fact is, attempting to compare capturing 2 guys to overtaking a worldwide terrorist network is simply and utterly stupid. Speaking of Clinton's response, how'd he do on USS Cole? Oh nothing? Oh ok.
As for Keith Olbermann, he's an unabashed liberal, not at all a legitimate journalist. Hell, ESPN wouldn't even take him.

Yes, he certainly seems that way. Just as the president of, and many of the people on, FOX are unabashed conservatives.
In many cases, we aren't talking about journalists anymore, but rather personalities.
On both sides of the video aisle.

You'll get no debate from me that Fox is conservative. However, I think they're more inline with the everyday personalities on CNN or MSNBC, while Olbermann is FAR LEFT. At least Bill O concedes ground from time to time and criticizes his own party...

Yes, I thank God all the time that we have radical liberals posing as unbiased journalists...I guess its only a bad thing if you prefer for the media to report the news, rather than persuade the general public.

Bah... most of the "big news" in the US isn't really about journalism -> it's about the ratings... and radicals or "reporters" on the left or right (Oberman, O'Reilly, Dobbs, Beck, Covuto) all act as audience draws. It's unfortunate that in the battle for ratings and advertising revenue that these "journalists" are given a soap-box to spout from...

Of course they are. I'd actually be ok with Keith if they'd just make it out that his show is a liberal one. Nobody debates that Tucker or Oreilly are unbiased.

Here's a quote I find curious from a "journalistic" standpoint from a story on the Fox News webpage in a story on Senator Clinton defending her husband:
"In the interview on "FOX News Sunday," which got its best ratings in nearly three years, Clinton accused Wallace of a "conservative hit job..."
Are any of the cable "News" networks really "journalistic?"
