It takes so little real talent and intelligence…….. to get people to listen to you. Reminds me of the way Hitler was able to get a whole nation to listen to him. I guess it’s easy to pray on the fearful, the dumb, and the uninformed.
They can't handle that we (conservatives) have some form of media (radio) where someone represents OUR point of view, not just the liberal. I thought you guys are supposed to be so open minded and inclusive?
You've hit the nail on the head... however it is what it is... opinion, not fact. They represent your views and not reporting the news, no matter how they present the facts.
My only problem is with listeners who interpret their opinions as fact.

They are not reporters, they are on the radio precisely for stating their opinion and commentating. I can think for myself, and so can many others who listen to them and value their opinion. Do you take Chris Matthews, Katie Couric, and Keith Olbermann's opinion as fact?

I also agree with you, they don't call it "liberal media" for nothing. The liberals dominate the media and for people who really know they sometimes tend to not lay out all the facts on the table, only the ones they need to view their side of things.
I do agree with you 100% on MSNBC.I DO NOT call it fair or unbiased and will readily admit it leans FAR left,but I'm not so stupid as to defend it as being a credible news source either as far as politics are concerned.The same with Franken....I would look as stupid as the neoCONS who defend "O'really",Rush and others of that ilk as being honest on anything if I defended his honor.It's called "honesty" and you blindly loyal neoCONS should try it sometime.As far as what "I'm" trying to prove? Nothing.Just commenting on posts like you are.Don't tell me that you are so far right wing that you think only followers of BushKa are allowed to voice an opinion are you?Tsk Tsk.
You might have a point except you left out the fact that I don't agree with everything those guys (O'Reilly, Rush, Hannity) say.
What about the answer to the question... do you think that only the left-leaning stations are "credible?"
I am not a Democrat or Republican but I love listening to Mark Levin. I remember listening to him for the first time and I absolutely HATED the guy. I may not agree with about 70% of what he says but for some odd reason, I love listening to him! I still think he is an ******* but he is far more entertaining than Rush! What do you think about Mark Levin? Here is a link to yesterday's show! Click on "Stream" :

Actually... they are on the radio precisely for making money. Maybe you agree with their opinions, but their agenda is whatever increases their ratings. Nothing wrong with that... but it's certainly not looking out for America... it's looking out for their own wallet.
I never considered Chris Matthews, Katie Couric and Olbermann unbiased reporting. They provide commentary... not news reporting.

Although I thought I had answered this question,I'll REanswer(?) it just for you.NO....I do not think ANY news network is truly credible as they ALL slant one way or another as far as politics/world events are concerned.If I want the truth on a particular event or issue that concerns me,I check the facts and don't depend on a radio personality or news commentator for my opinion.The neoCONS would be much better off were they to do the same because most normal people(by normal I mean Dem,Rep or Ind that thinks for themselves) instantly tune them out and dismiss their opinions if they open a conversation with" I heard Rush/Hannity/Levin et al talking about blah blah blah" or they start with the talking points "Obamas a socialist,muslim etc etc etc.....You are instantly dismissed as an idiot/sheeple without anything to bring to the table.
If they were to take the time they listen to these (and I use the word loosely) entertainers to use google and find accurate documents/facts to back their gibberish,then hey by all means let's discuss the issue as I may have(probably did?) overlook something and they can point it out and change my view of it,but when they follow idiots,they are branded an idiot IMO which is worth what I'm charging you for it.Nothing.
BTW....I ALSO AGREE THAT OBAMA HAS BEEN GIVEN A HUGE FREE PASS BY THE MEDIA.The liberal media on purpose,the right wing by stupidity and focusing on assinine allegations without facts.

Forget Levine...Listen to Michael Savage. He is the most unbiased man on the air.
