Hannity & Olbermann?  [}:)]

The thing which annoys me most about Hannity besides the obvious "favored son sockpuppet" status he enjoys with the GNC, is that he cuts people off constantly.  No one can get a word in edgewise when they are at odds w/ him.

Hannity and Olbermann, now that would be a good show!

As for debating Hannity, I've found that the more insistent and loud you can be, the better off you are in carrying an argument, or at least gaining a stalemate.

If all media is as a rule anti-gov't (unveiling the inner secrets, asking the tough questions), and you have a neo-con gov't, does that make all media liberal?

Under this logic, media would always swing opposite of whomever is in power.  I do not believe this is the case.  The media does not donate in large amounts to the minority party - they donate to the liberal party.  Likewise, under Clinton the media was still perceived as having a liberal media bias (though I did not search for studies to back this up).

I have stated my opinion and gone to length to both support and explain it.  It is clear that you do not accept the best evidence available on this topic and thus, I can not truly discuss it with you.  I apologize for getting frustrated by this fact last week.  

/me bows out of the conversation

Point is, I think if you would have said there was a pro-gov't bent to the news, he would have said there was an anti-gov't.  He gets off on banging heads with you.

I think it depends on the news channel and who's in power, but you do have a point.
