    This is exactly like the notes we passed in junior high! Exactly! Somebody said something and somebody else scoffed and that one came back and roared and then another one said he didn't get the message. There's nothing new under the sun, but I think Mardou was more incisive way back when ... #skype

    They NEED each other in order to have a villain, grow a following, build their ratings, and command high salaries. Don't believe the hype. #keitholbermann

    Whys is it "right-leaning" Fox and plain-old MSNBC or CNN? Yes, Fox tilts to the right. However, MSNBC and CNN tilt to the left too. #keitholbermann

    @Gawkerati: CNN tilts to the left? You're kidding. What anywhere else in the world would be considered center-right at most gets considered "left" here. Meanwhile, yes, MSNBC skews mildly left in terms of its overall editorial viewpoint. But neither even approaches the level of totally ideologically-driven propaganda at which Fox News consistently operates.

    However, even that is beside the point, really. Because my problem with Fox isn't that it's conservative. They have every right to be as conservative as they like, if they'd only be honest about it. What they don't have a right to do is to consistently misrepresent opinion as fact, misreport events, and create news, while pretending to be a "fair and balanced" source of information. #keitholbermann

    @MissNormaDesmond: I'll agree with everything you said, but lately MSNBC has been more than listing to the left, especially in primetime and though CNN has lost some of their lustre due to budget cuts , I'd still put them closer to the middle of the road. #keitholbermann

    @MissNormaDesmond: Totally agree. And keep in mind that both Shuster and Matthews routinely interview the most insane far right assholes as people having legitimate political opinions. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you former Bush/Cheney bag man and total nutcase Frank Gaffney, who famously said this year that Saddam Hussein was behind the Oklahoma City bombing. There is no corollary to that on the left, none. That's just insane.

    @Mediahohoho: I've never seen Olbermann cry when discussing republicans, the way I see Beck cry when discussing Obama. I feel like crying every time that "person of color" John Boehner opens his mouth.
    People can call MSNBC "left leaning" but they regularly give Pat Buchanan airtime for his crazy old time republican nonsense, and Joe Scarborough (un)Fair his own show. The best that Fox could do was let Alan Colmes meekly defend the left from time to time. #keitholbermann

    @MissNormaDesmond: You are either blind, deaf and dumb...or I don't know what. MSNBC is 'mildly skewed' to the left? Have you ever watched the tv channel before? Olbermann is going to be getting the Nobel Prize in 2010 for "Righteous Liberal Indignation". Closely edging out Maddow. But not to worry, Ed Schultz, David Schuster and Chris Matthews are total right wingers. #keitholbermann

    @Lance Uppercut: No, you're just someone who's bought into the insanity that is American politics, where right is now center and full-on reactionary wingnuttery is treated as valid commentary. What I said was that this is how these people would be perceived anywhere else in the world, and I stand by that. #keitholbermann

    It's called Invidiocy, and it works. Sometimes. However, when Henry Kissinger had his 700-page alibi coming out at the same time as Eddie Fisher's autobiog, he sought to dismiss as a lightweight the former husband of Liz Taylor, and it didn't catch. Nobody read Henry's masterwork. Boo-hoo. #keitholbermann

    After reading John Cook's earlier article about the coziness between the NYT reporters and this article about "deals" or "embargos" between reporters and corporations, really, why would anyone trust the media. There should be no deals, not between politicians and reporters and not between tech companies and reporters!!! Yeah, yeah, the argument is that, that is how you get cooperation and information, but trust me, the information would get out - it might be harder, but isn't that the job of a reporter. And in this case, a "lighter blue," it would have been obvious - no need to worry about the missing minutes there (obligatory Nixon reference due to issues of coverup and reporting). #mikearrington
