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.

Except for O'Reilly. He thinks he's unbiased.

Well I'm no fan of him, but he really isn't straight party line really, neither is Tucker. They both criticize the GOP, but they are obviously conservative.
My comparisons, not on anything but political ideology
On Right....On Left
Tucker=Anderson Cooper
Oreilly=Chris Matthews
Limbaugh=Olbermann/Maher

Very interesting list there. Well thought out.
Have a bonus question for you:
Which well known talker is not what they make themselves out to be?
The media business, for many reasons, is a very tight business for talkers, DJ's et al. So they do not market themselfs as what they are but for the need of the postition.
And no, the answer will not get posted here, but it is something to think about.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, but you may be speaking of Dr. Laura Schlessinger

No-not her.
Just as the market place for actors has gotten tighter due to non-scripted shows, the same with "personalities". With canned show, less local shows, less live shows et al, there are more "personalities" than shows. So rather than saying they are rock DJ's , they mold themselves to be fans of Opra or country/western if there is a job opening some place. Same with politics and POV.

You're absolutely right about that. Its almost as if journalism and sports and entertainment has all merged, people move back and forth, while viewers presume that person to have extensive qualifications in whichever area they are currently working.

Cooper, I think. It's been said he's a card-carrying member of the GOP.
