<p>I don't know them all to list them all in a poll, so just throw it down.</p><p> </p><p>Personally, I really like Keith Olbermann, I think he's pretty funny, almost in a Jon Stewart way but on a 24-hour news channel.</p><p>My oldest brother and I have O'Reilly vs Olbermann fights a lot, and its pretty fun winning more and more these days. </p>

Ok. Ok. My real answer may even be worse.....but honestly, I like Anderson Cooper. I enjoy getting my news from failed reality game show hosts. <br />

Hannity, YEAH I'M DRINKIN' THE FUCKIN' KOOL-AID!
Count me in the Olbermann crowd. Does that make me the worst person in the world?

How about Lou Dobbs? He calls it as he sees it. Not a crybaby like Keith Olbermann. Ever see him when he does his "special comments" he looks like hes gonna break down

Lou Dobbs, Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and of course Steven Colbert. Now of course they're all not true 24-hour cable new program hosts, but they are all my favs in this overall genre. O'Reilly can be hilarious too when he gets all self-important on idiotic topics like Saw 3 killing American morals, not our politicians. Or the violence in the movie is terrible and shouldn't be tolerated, but this war is a must and should continue. Yet, he has jumped ship of late on that topic. O'Reilly is really a pompous ass who shouldn't be on tv. Fair and balanced my ass, you're a die-hard republican and at least you know where Olbermann, Stewart, Maher, Colbert and Dobbs stand, they fucking say so. O'Reilly tries to claim no ties, pure case by case basis for judgement which just isn't the case.

No stand taken, sometimes it's more fun to watch the trainwrecks. Yet people who live their lives by his shows are crazy (or any show for that matter, but his is just plain redonkulous).

And by watch him I truly mean every once in a while if I flip by him on my tv is all. It's not like I even catch him more than a few times a month at best. Now the others I watch often.
