7 Best Cable-TV Feuds
Chris Wallace Battles Fox & Friends on Obama’s Behalf
Turning on your own network is unusual in the world of cable-TV news but watch Chris Wallace’s reasoned thrashing of the hosts and producers of Fox & Friends for, in his view, misrepresenting Barack Obama’s “typical white person” quote.
Keith Olbermann’s Ceaseless Torment of Bill O’Reilly
It still seems odd that the consummate tough guy of cable TV has found himself so unable to respond to Keith Olbermann’s taunts; note his reaction to Harry Smith’s questions about it in this clip from CBS Sunday Morning.

Was Jim Cramer crying? Does Jim honestly think that HE can make Warren Buffett look foolish? I don't think so.

Meanwhile, in Alabama and Germany, people are expressing themselves. Yes, Virginia, there is no God. There are only people running around the Planet harming oneanother, stealing from one another, getting upset about it, and then going to War to settle the score. To think that all of these dominoes would be at Peace if only a PO' Carpenter (not Christ) from Pelham Manor, NY had kept his pencil in his own mouth instead of in someone else's wife. Helen of Troy, you know. It's an old story.
Of course, Christ was opposed to all of this and said so on many occassions. But alas, people had better ideas, this being the 'fruit' of their souls. Party on Garth!

The irony is, John Stewart is usually more "on the mark" and insightful then alot of these so-called experts. Stewart is never cruel, never even rude really... and he only only brings to light exactly what these people/pundits have said. If what he said wasn't truly damning/correct.... Mr. Cramer wouldn't be so upset.
I watch the Daily Show not only because it's hilarious, but because it's intelligent. On what other comedy show can you find award-winning authors, heads-of-state, former generals, former supreme court justices...and the list goes on and on and on.

I have to admit. I don't really care for any (regardless of party) of these pundits. They spend too much time shaking their fists, yelling and not enough time doing research and listening to people far more intelligent then they are. (Of which their are many)

The Beast's coverage of people shouting at each other on television is journalism at its finest.

I'm not sure any man (or woman) can hold his or her tongue when they feel threatened. If they do manage to side-step an outburst I commend them, because it takes a lot of self-restraint.

Hard to choose a favorite moment from this grouping of screaming heads, but listening to O'Reilly say, "The meanness of the discourse in gernal bothers me" is the height of hypocrisy. Attempting to position himself as above/different from the fray doesn't cut it. O'Reilly's discourse is no more civil nor enlightened than any of these other journalist wannabes.
We have become a society that has actually grown an industry of empty suits with "news" shows. Most are suits or hairdos with little to say and only limited mental capacity. It's harder and harder to get informed, thoughtful analysis instead of partisan politics (like Faux News), BUT go to PBS as the anecdote. None of these clowns are on it.

How do you know Cramer is lying? His lips are moving!

I don't know, Hannity and Goldberg lambasting Matthews and MSNBC for being biased and unprofessional strikes me as even higher hypocracy than O'Reilly. Don't get me wrong, I think Goldberg was absolutely right about Matthews "man crush" and its a great line. But I don't think there's much Fox News does either that you could learn in "Journalism 101" to borrow his phrase. In fact, Fox is selling itself short. They invented the idea of an openly biased News Network and MSNBC just responded by ripping off their idea in the other direction. Fox should be accusing them of being cheap copies instead of pretending its some alternative beacon of credibility.
