Good for Snow. I'm glad he went to CNN. I prefer to see anchors/correspondents with more varied viewpoints than what you typically see.

So with the addition of Glenn Beck and now Snow, one network really is more balanced, while another one simply says it is.

Thank God. One less debate is a GOOD thing.

I don't know what there is to be sick about. Despite the tendencies to vilify these organizations politically, it's mostly just a job to the people that work there.

He obviously got a deal that was more agreeable to him.

Boy, ain't that the truth. Whether it's Hillary, Obama or McCain, it will be so refreshing to have a president that can string a sentence together.

Not sure what the story had to do with Fox.

But for NBC News/MSNBC to have a MySpace page is probably a good idea. After all, we're news junkies ourselves, or we wouldn't be here. So if they feel that being on MySpace will give them better exposure/opportunities, then more power to them.

Couldn't you just say you wish him well without the negativity?

To call someone a partisan hack and say that you can't stand him, THEN you want to give him your best?

Not exactly a gentlemanly way to handle it.

She looks great! Certainly much better than the tomboyish look she had when she started The Today Show.

$15 DOLLARS?? That's too funny.

Cafferty is simply stating the truth about China's government, and the brain-washed, poorly educated Chinese people aren't even aware of it.

When your country is only known for cheap labor and making most of the world's counterfeit merchandise, I'd say they have bigger problems than what some American commentator says.

Sure, We should have our TV anchormen follow the lead of our government and simply suck up to China.

I'm going to miss Conan being in New York. Even though I live in California, and it will be cool to go see his show, there's just something about NYC that adds to the vibe.

Florida knew the ramifications of moving up the primary. They ignored them and continued anyway. Is it silly? Yes. But rules are rules.

Ok backseat, I think we get it already.

I'll take Olbermann over many of the others on TV. While certainly not perfect, some of his special comments have cut straight to the bone about what is wrong with the country, the government and OTHER egotistical TV commentators.

Some people prefer to blame the messenger instead of the message.

It's so amusing to see what a thorn Olbermann is to O'Reilly that he can't stop trying to malign NBC.

Re: mediabistro.com: TVNewser

Most of what Olmermann talks about is mistakes made by those on the Fox. If they don't want to be criticized, then they should run a tighter ship (i.e. check facts).

I imagine the bulk of BOR's viewers are older people that still remember the days before the remote control. They just leave it on the same channel 24/7.

Re: mediabistro.com: TVNewser

DG3 — Thu, 01 May 2008 05:44:17 -0000

As for Olberman, his show has seen a greater INCREASE of viewers than BOR's, which has stayed relatively flat.

Did you really believe Factor diehards are going to stop watching and switch to Countdown? You can't be that naive?

Olbermann's audience is mostly new viewers of cable news. They're not conservatives being weened from the competition.

He's delusional. Red Eye's ratings were never 'really, really great'.

It tries hard to be funny, but always falls flat. Fox simply can't do funny, as we saw in the failed '1/2 Hour News Hour'.

KO's belly reminds me of that excessive flab hanging from Billo's face.

Did I say anything about Olbermann?

To put it mildly, you're obsessed with him. That's comfort enough to know he's getting under your skin.

Re: mediabistro.com: TVNewser

DG3 — Thu, 01 May 2008 19:21:22 -0000

So which is it? Red Eye's ratings, which WERE similar to what Olbermann's getting now are only great for Gut, but not for KO? You're not making sense (no surprise).
