When Jon Stewart went on to to talk about ideology and partisanship and Fox
News and MSNBC, by way of comparing cable news to his show he came up with
the analogy which -- I may be the only person who thinks this but -- I think
is not a great analogy. "One of my favorite things..Anderson Cooper, I
I would agree, and go further to state that political parties (at
least the two party system in place) hinders the process, as does any
advocacy of it. I firmly believe that it no longer matters whether a
Republican or Democrat wins a given election, because ultimately
America will continue to lose
I think (emphasis on I think) what J. Stew was trying to do was argue that the
focus of the cable channels on the horse race (who loses and who wins
politically) was a problem, and not the most beneficial for the country. By
shifting to something like the corruption/anti-corruption angle he bro

Remember it's going
So Donz, you believe that MSNBC is nonpartisan and its hosts offer
nonbiased news and information? Because I don't think Stewart is
claiming MSNBC is like FoxNews, but the claim is they are not
producing journalism free of a political slant, and the political
slant does more harm than good. At some

Save 57% on Boxed Sets of "CSI," "CSI: Miami," and "CSI: New York"
DNA and forensics are key when it comes to these procedural dramas.
William Peterson, David Caruso, and Gary Sinise lead their teams
through the complicated crimes scenes of the shows' numerous seasons.
C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investi
Sorry, but the false equivalency lives on. Fox is known to have (1)
doctored its clips to have them appear to express one thing when, in
fact, they express the opposite; (2) morning chat morons who introduce
myths that are then handled as "news" later in the day and night; and
(3) employ known pote
You've communicated exactly what I was trying to say better than
I did. I don't think anybody on MSNBC's weeknight lineup would deny
that they lean left (as opposed to the network's new asinine "lean forward"
slogan) but none of them have come out and endorsed a candidate on the
air.

A nitpick, if I may, Kevin.

So money equals speech and speech equals endorsement and therefore giving
money
equals endorsement? Really? Even when nobody knows you gave that money?
If you give a speech and nobody hears it, is it really a speech? (Except in
congress,
of course.)

Olbermann did not "endorse" a candidate. He gave a donation to three
candidates
as a private citizen a few days before the election. He never mentioned it
on the air
nor did the candidates publicize his contribution in an effort to raise more

Full disclosure: Greg is a longtime pal. My personal bias aside, I
think he's one of the wittiest, most nimble-minded comedians in the
biz, and his monthly live talk show at Largo in L.A. is a must-see
that's featured guest shots by the likes of Craig Ferguson, Foo
Fighters' Dave Grohl, David Cross
