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.

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

Tucker Carlson, by his own admission, is definitely conservative as he understands conservatism (and adds, "by my criteria, Bush isn't much of a conservative") but also has a very wide libertarian streak. He has described himself as a "Libertarian right-winger." So I don't know that he feels too much investment in the Republican Party, except as the alternative to the Democratic Party. But it probably makes sense to "pair" him with Anderson Cooper like you did.

That would make sense, given his family background. 'Course, that's not the only secret he's supposed to be keeping.
