A far shorter and harder to render list would be the 10 people in TV news who are NOT complete douchebags.

[Kludge]

How could Olbermann possibly not be #1? He's orange, for God's sake!

[Liberty Star]

Interesting list. Nancy Grance's child crime media "porn" for ratings is disgusting but she probably could be moved down few notches on the list.

I'm not sure why Alan Colmes and Lou Dobbs are on this list though even though I have not watched them in a long time.

rush should be tied with Nancy along with Kieth!!

The Judge? And that's just because he guest hosts Beck's show occasionally. It's clear that Fox keeps FW looking unpolished just to keep it online.

Fox either has a "second-tier" or intern crew working all of their online shows. None of them run any smoother.

I'm no fan of Rush and he has done great damage to America but he does display once in while a glimpse of personal convictions even if he's wrong imo. That can't be said for most on this list, this list has captured some notorious media sluts and pimps.

A far shorter and harder to render list would be the 10 people in TV news who are NOT complete douchebags.

And it would probably consist of comedians whose job it is to mock douche bag news pundits.

Yeah, you can often see the interns come onto the camera view and also you can hear the phones ringing in the background... The Judge should seriously grab some necks and put the kids in line.

[Stary Hickory]

Ah so only conservative types....gotcha. I prefer fox to the other stations. Not saying I am all about FOX, but if I got to watch one news channel it will be FOX.

[Cowlesy]

Jamie Colby, a Fox News Anchor.

My goodness, it is like she reads from a neo-con, fascist script.

That, and her legs, though nice, are so damn shiny I feel that you could signal aircraft with them.

[Golding]

The only thing I'd change is bump Keith Olbermann up a few spots. I don't know how anyone can find him listenable, what with his phony indignation all the time.

Stary Hickory is right that the list is mainly just conservatives. You could tell it was going to be like that once they were so apologetic about Olbermann's placement at number 10. But there is truth to the matter that many of the conservative hosts are shrill, mindless, and annoying. Not every conservative host can be Napolitano.

[V-rod]

I would switch places 1-10 with Olbermann and Grace, and I'm no fan of Glen Beck, but I think he is less of a douche than those on the list.


Actually I would re-do whole list.

1. Keith Olbermann
2. Anderson Cooper (became a total douche at the end of 2008)
3. Fox and Friends
4. Nancy Grace
5. Bill Maher (cable news is almost zero news and all entertainment now, so I can include this douche who "reports" as much news as they do)
6. Ed Schultz
7. Joe Scarborough (got real annoying recently)
8. Shepard Smith
9. O'Reilly
10. Chris Matthews

Runners up: Rachel Maddow, that grey-haired lady from Free Speech Tv, Sean Hannity, Jon Stewart (yes, he is a smarmy, arrogant douchebag, admit it)

I sometimes watch Red Eye on Fox, I used to dump on it a little, but when I sit through the whole program, it is damn entertaining!

[anaconda]

It seems like everything the Op said about Santelli was positive.

[angelatc]

Chris Wallace isn't on the list? Or Chris Matthews?

[Bossobass]

My list is shorter and much more concise:

TV is shit.

Bosso

[kahless]

Fixed

1. Kieth Olbermann
2. Rachel Maddow
3. Chris Matthews
4. Ed Shultz
5. Anderson Cooper
6. Campbell Brown
7. David Gregory
8. Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson tie for 8
9. Shep Smith, Greta Van Sustern and Larry King tie for 9
10. Sean Hannity and O'Rielly tie for 10

Although I find number 10. entertaining I hate that people think they are Conservative and they do much to keep people in the middle to left thus hurt our cause.

[Kludge]

(Chuck Todd deserves an honorable mention)

[kahless]

(Chuck Todd deserves an honorable mention)

Does he have his own show now? I was going to put him on my list but I figured it is only for those that have their own show. If we are just talking about pundits it gets hard to fit them all in.

I would put the O'Donnels, Norah and Lawrence (no relation) in the same douchebag category as Chuck Todd.

1. Kieth Olbermann
2. Rachel Maddow

4. Ed Shultz
5. Anderson Cooper
6. Campbell Brown

8. Brian Williams, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson tie for 8
9. Shep Smith, Greta Van Sustern and Larry King tie for 9
10. Sean Hannity and O'Rielly tie for 10

Although I find number 10. entertaining I hate that people think they are Conservative and they do much to keep people in the middle to left thus hurt our cause.

I would say this is one of the closest list thus far, however, I would put the tie of Sean Hannity and O'Rielly up to the 5 spot.

[paulitics]

1. Oreilly
2 Fox and Friends (all of them)
3. Hannity
4 Scarborough
5. Matthews
6. David Gregory
7. Katie Couric
8 Charles Gibson
9. Glenn Beck
10 Anderson Cooper


Almost forgot those assclowns from fox and friends. Wolf, you are now bumped off the list. You are nowhere near the douchebags of the top tier.

[acptulsa]

Anchors interviewing reporters. Anchors interviewing anchors. Interviewers acting incredulous over the interviewee's answers. Screaming matches labeled 'debates'. Editorializing and spin from beginning to end. Grudge matches between 'personalities' with not personality. Anchors getting their diapers changed.

The news organizations have certainly figured out how to fill twenty-four hours without actually reporting any news.

I love Nancy Grace! I don't care what anyone says about her! She's over the top, but that's what makes her so entertaining. And I'm obsessed with the Casey Anthony case, and Nancy Grace talks about her practically every day.

I think Keith Olbermann should be number 1. He's so annoying.
