    It seems that every time i turn to fox (usually at night), i find myself on the verge of throwing at my tv when i hear hannity talk his normal nonsense. He seems to amaze me and stoop lower then i would ever think from day to day.

    Give me your thoughts on this please, for the record, i consider myself to be an independent who is leaning to Obama due to Mccain's VP pick (palin)

    Sean Hannity is easily the biggest bag on television. It's not much of a race, either.

    If you think Hannity is bad, you should watch Fox and Friends. You've got 3 mildly re ed people parroting the same things Hannity does only they do it with certain amount of snide and style (Steve Ducey once asked how it could be legal to make fun of Sarah Palin). I've tried watching but can never get through an entire show without 1) laughing my ass off or 2) not being able to take anything else they say seriously for the rest of the show.

    Here's a suggestion....turn off the tube until Nov 4th and only tune in for the debates.

    If you're not willing to do that, here's a list of biased media personalities to steer clear of...

    Hannity
    O'Rielly
    Olbermann
    Maddow

    Also, don't listen to a single thing that "strategists" or "campaign spokespersons" say.

    Seriously, I've narrowed my tuning needle to Anderson Cooper (AC360) and David Gregory (Race for the White House) led programs.

    If you don't like Fox, use this.

    For the record, Keith Olbermann is the biggest on TV. He doesn't even invite people on his show that disagree with him and he doesn't have a conservative co-host to balance his show.

    I also tune into Morning Joe from time to time in the morning, which is mostly tolerable while I half-listen and get ready for work.

    How do you feel about guys like Jack Cafferty and Jeffery Toobin?

    You don't like Maddow? I think he's pretty good.

    I love that he got pulled off pre-coverage of major election events (speeches, conventions, debates, etc.). In order to hear his dribble, albeit funny from time to time, you have to tune into his show.

    However, I think it's sad that MSNBC hasn't even attempted to hide its liberal bias since pulling him. They added the Rachel Maddow Show, or as I like to call it....the Late Late Countdown w/ a less-funny host.

    I could be wrong but I think her show was actually included in his deal. I remember him saying something about his new show way back when it started and that there would be another show to be announced later on. I think it's pretty obvious he had a huge hand in picking her too.

    Toobin is transparently liberal and rarely makes a salient point.

    Cafferty is best when he's reading what other people think.

    I wish Anderson Cooper was actually a political analyst. He seems fairly neutral on everything but I get the feeling he doesn't know what he's talking about a lot of the time.

    David Gergan is tops in my book. He's seen it all and calls it right down the middle.

    Besides looking and sounding like a creepy child molester I think I agree. He's pretty damn good at calling it like it is.

    Paul Begala is a favorite of mine, even if he is left-leaning. He is pretty damn funny.

    Agreed. Begala is a very smart guy. Something that can't be said for a lot of these people.

    I like him just where he is. I just wish that others who share his position had the same kind of neutral approach. I see it in David Gregory as well, but most of the other shows leave me disappointed.

    I haven't been watching much of Gregory. I know him from his relentlessness in the White House Press Room. For that I think he's great. He never backs down.

    From what I've seen of Gergen, I don't see a bias but I find his points lack a thought-provoking nature.

    And I agree that Begala is the most entertaining of that "strategist" foursome that CNN puts out there for pre-election event coverage.

    What are the thoughts on Gloria Borger?

    Gergen has served in 4 or 5 administrations on both sides of the isle. He has more knowledge in his little finger about how Washington works than any of the others being mentioned here, but I do admit the combover is f-ing horrible.
