Fox News Hosts - Who is the worst?

kind of reminds me of Robert Forster.

Chris Wallace isn't a personality like the others -- he's the "news" guy, and I've never had a problem with him.

Hannity, however, is just A BAD ACTOR.

kind of reminds me of Robert Forster.

UGGGH. What have you DONE?!

(not sure if you meant Go-Between Robert Forster or Quentin Tarantino's Robert Forster)

i have seen that creepy smug rightwing whiteman smile far too many times in my life

I think I hate Beck the most, and would be more likely to watch his show. The others just seem tired and defeated.

yeah gotta go with Hannity. no redeeming qualities. Never entertaining (like Beck) and never appears human/potentially open to reason (like O'Reilly)

The man is an inspiration.

"technical errors on the show"=not knowing what "play us out" means.

hannity. i think o'reilly is just a clown; maybe there are still some rubes left who take him seriously, but by and large his respectedness bubble popped a long time ago.

also it's sad to watch o'reilly's humanity occasionally leach through; it's like "you fucking asshole, stop hiding behind this shtick and be a real person."

And singling out fox for smugness is silly. If you have a tremendous problem with smug and condescending political hosts surely you also cringe whenever Rachel Maddow puts someone down or when you watch too much of the Daily Show. Fox News is annoying for a couple of reasons but it'd be silly to claim "smug" as one of them and then flip over to watch Keith Olbermann, who is, of course, just an honest journalist with the courage to speak truth to power (or whatever his talking points sound like to you if you believe the message).

to me, rachel comes off as the least smug of the maddow/olbermann/matthews triptych. she seems like she respects her guests and wants to learn from them. that's not to say she doesn't have her moments...

jbr otm cf her 'throwdown' with david frum

To be fair to her, Frum was totally trolling.

Voting Hannity btw without much convinction. Honestly don't know half these folks.

i like that she listens instead of just yelling and interrupting. (xposts)

that's what i'm saying! but she was respectfully defending her show and her mannerisms, it wasn't like an o reilly or hannity style thing. and when she has ppl on like tim pawlenty (sp?) it brings the best out of those dudes cuz they aren't on the defensive nor are they on to debate some 'democratic strategist'

Oh I thought you were saying that was "one of her moments". Nevermind.

she also has this thing of introducing her guests with their CVs or a rundown of what they're there to talk about -- and when they come on, she asks whether the facts in her intro were correct. they always are.

yeah i watch olbermann and maddow almost every night but olbermann is like the daily show for me, pure entertainment, rarely enriching for the mind except for maaybe 'still bushed' but i lol a lot when dude does worst persons and w/e, i turn it off when he brings on eugene robinson or the elfish british dude or everyone else but maddow's show brings it almost every night both in terms of her personal opinion being enlightening and shit that she straight up teaches you

He brings on Oxbow's Eugene Robinson??!!?

try

Eugene Robinson sweats boringness from his pores.

Too bad. The "real" Eugene Robinson is a bad ass.

now that would be some good tv

olbermann's guests have gotten really awful lately. robinson is boring, elfish brit is boring, howard fineman is boring and a hack, so is the woman w/ the harry potter glasses that he brings on. i like to look at chris hughes from the nation and he brings it sometimes but jonathan turley the gw law professor is his best guest by miles

He brings on Oxbow's Eugene Robinson??!!?

that WOULD be interesting.

oh and when he brings on christian finnegan i want to break my tv

I just want to focus how improved all Cable News shows would be if Eugene Robinson was on them for a second. Let's just take a moment.

"i'm outraged at the AIG bonuses!"

shep @ fox and friends. that is HILARIOUS. he is def on a different planet. brilliant. it just gets painfully awkward yet he is completely unfazed by this. i was just watching studio b & he is so hyped about blago going on the radio today, doubtless will spend plenty of time on the 7pm show mocking him.

doocy IMHO is pretty awful, not that he has anything that bad to say, but that's what drives me up the wall - it's the same dumb talking points except he's THAT GUY in the bar who thinks he's best friends with everyone and just won't settle down.

ok, this:

he's a nobody with a crappy show that airs when most people with jobs are asleep, but he's fucking dead meat of he ever tries to show his face north of the border.

one of his sidekicks has already had to cancel an appearance at a comedy club in Edmonton.

of=if. rage induced misspelling.

He mocked our military and our Mounties, and incited outrage among our highest-ranking politicians, but Greg Gutfeld couldn't muster the guts on Monday to tell us himself that he's sorry.

this is a hardbody lede

ppl oughta rethink their idea that o'reilly is the ok thinking man's version of this, considering the creepy stalker hit-job shit he pulled on amanda terkel, among other people

ya - people are seriously pissed off. Mounties are fine - but mocking our troops when 4 had *just* died in *the* most dangerous area of Afghanistan is... well... words fail.

xpost

Doocy.

Thermo, I don't know that most of America has even heard of this guy

goddam so many hateable cretins on one channel, it's almost amazing. i detest Beck, O'Reilley, Huckabee and Wallace, each for his own special brand of ridiculousness. but the real motherfucker here is Hannity - I think he is dumber and definitely more humorless than the rest.

OTOH Shep Smith is a total bro.

hannity is not much of a deep thinker, right? will shamelessly tell all kinds of lies on his show. but it's a little sad without colmes IMHO, he's really trying too hard now with the total over-the-top hyperbole about obama administration. i don't know how he'll cope now that they have beck to turn the fear meter up to 11.

i don't hate any of them, though, it's more of.. how can you SAY those things when you know they are not true? you're basically insulting and mistreating your own audience by not bothering to square your statements with facts and reality. it applies equally, though.. doesn't help the liberal side to tell them only what they want to hear.

i think i get angrier at the folks who are supposed to be liberals and either don't fight back effectively, or cede half the argument in the name of being polite and getting along..

that seems like a 'sane adult in the presence of a sociopath' problem and not necessarily a political one

ok glenn beck just put on a pair of blue latex gloves and said "this is the dumbest damn show on air!" then he wrapped up a dead fish in newspaper w/pictures of obama & other newsmakers on it, while doing some goofy voices about how.. i dunno, this is what we're giving the taxpayers

epic

Clearly the new business model at FOX is "look at all the crazy people we bring you, how can you NOT watch us?!" Even more now than in recent years. They aren't being as overtly partisan anymore, instead they're just piping hallucinogens in through the a/c in the studios.

lol quite possibly

I wouldn't be surprised if they were counting on the spectacle to pay the bills.

How could it not be Hannity? I see RED at a mere glimpse of his taut, smug assface, looking at you with a supercilious grin that says: I am 100% douchebag and, even though I misconstrue or disregard even the simplest of facts, I am somehow massively influential. It doesn't help that my mom likes him. People say this suggest this kind of thing figuratively, but I literally would not mind watching him being tortured to death.

Glenn Beck's show is like a weird high-concept homage to The Colbert Report, no lie.
