Ummm..because all four of them attack liberals?
And if you haven't seen right-wingers posting quote from them on here,then either you aren't being serious.Or you are brand new to this forum.

I don't think that they are "brainwashing" anybody.
I think that they are pandering to a group that really isn't intellectual curious and that have few, if any, ideas of their own.

Gets old after awhile but, unfortunately, there are too many people around who don't have the clarity of thought to see a lie as a lie.
How about this (just one example):

Why do conservatives attack MSNBC, NBC, Maddow/Matthews/Oberman/Schultz/Raylan every now and then. About evey 6 months??



The Conservatives attack the message, not the messenger for diversion off the facts. That is the big difference.

LOL, LOL, LOL!

Rachel Maddow is gay! Keith Olberman lives with his mom! Blah, blah, blah!

The old "that's different"!

See the difference:

Does Rachel Maddow Hate White Men?

I was just listening to Beck's Sat radio program. He was still insisting that FOX was the only network that showed the Israeli boarding video. How does he expect to have any credibility, when he does not demonstrate it? I guess he really doesn't need it, after all, his regular listeners have no interest in anything credible.

Just like conservatives watch Obama videos much more often than lefties do Studying your enemy is simply more interesting and productive than studying your friend, gives you new ammunition and a feeling of superiority as you watch and listen to those idiots

What other TV group showed that video? I need some proof so maybe you can come up with some.

You were listening to Beck? Getting ammo, I guess.

Finally a prog admits why she watches or listens to non-prog programming. I guess you deserve some kind of medal for the admittance.

^^While most RWs would never watch/listen to a moderate to left leaning show. Some even claim not to be able to access NPR or PBS.

Other than virtually all of them you mean? I find Beck funny and a wise exploiter of otherwise, quite useless people.
