| jtjt225m | Posted – 2/11/2008 11:52:56 PM | show profile I was thinking about this topic and wanted feedback. Which show on the networks (MSNBC, CNN, FNC, HLN, CNBC, FBN, Bloomberg) is the worst? I think easily some would say Tucker on MSNBC. I however don't think its as bad as it has been. The overall format still hasn't changed, why I have no clue. I think changing it to covering more topics with good guest should help it a lot. I ask this because I just don't know. There are shows that are bad, but people like them for some reason, which I can understand. If there is one show that I feel is just horrible, it has to be Happy Hour on FBN (Fox Business). I just don't get the show. Its a show about business, but it rarely covers business topics. Its housed in a extremely high class bar in NYC. They have on worthless guest, I can't tell you what the host bring. Its just not good. I however have to say no to the obvious shows. We know people hate hardball, countdown, O'Rielly, H & C, or any other show on MSNBC and FNC. I know the reasons, I think we all know the reasons. I know me asking will stop no one, but I figure why not try. Really think about this. There are a lot of networks and programs, on the weekdays and weekends. A lot more than the usual three or four shows, I know the next person will probably put down. |

| Latin1 | Posted – 2/12/2008 4:25:17 AM | show profile Countdown with Keith Olbermann Because the show sophomoric, hate-filled, juvenile and repetitive. How many times is O'Reilly going to be the "woooorssst person in the world"? It was 'cute' for about a week, but now very tiresome and repetitive. Also Olbermann goes from "look I am a serious" commenter to a Johnny Knoxville persona of Jack-Ass fame. Like a manic-depressive. Which gives you an impression that when he does his "look I am a serious" commenter Olbermann has no credibility that he is serious at all and he is a terrible "actor" at that. I heard he has to get all fired up before the show to get "angry" to look indignant when he does one of his special commentaries. |
| jtjt225m | Posted – 2/12/2008 9:25:42 AM | show profile See, like I said in my last statements, we get it. People hate countdown, we get the reasons. It doesn't matter if you are on the right or left, people hate it. My question was for people to think outside of the box. Latin, try to think a little bit harder, sorry. It is just to obvious. I know its your opinion, but I could say I don't like Larry King because he is getting old, and his questions aren't worth anything. However, anyone could say that. |
| rockyroad | Posted – 2/12/2008 9:32:26 AM | show profile I would have to say Nancy Grace. It appears that the rule of law means nothing to her and she wants to convict everyone without a trial. Sort of a facist legal system and it is a bit scary. |
| SuburbanCorrespondent | Posted – 2/12/2008 12:09:14 PM | show profile I'd have to go with The Big Story on FNC. Pure tabloid, wall-to-wall. While that's to be expected from shows like "The Lineup" or even "On the Record", "Big Story" is supposed to be (at least MOSTLY) about hard news. When they actually cover a real issue, like the elections, it's done with some sort of sensationalist angle. Plus, regardless of politics, John Gibson is a tremendous douchebag. |
| SuburbanCorrespondent | Posted – 2/12/2008 12:10:52 PM | show profile Nancy Grace does get a close second, though. There are plenty of shows that seem to exist purely to inflate the ego of their hosts (insert Olbermann/O'Reilly dig here), but Grace's show is a nonstop orgy of over-the-top, self righteous self promotion. |
| jkdu4 | Posted – 2/12/2008 12:59:46 PM | show profile | email poster THE WORST SHOW HOW CAN ANYONE NOT RATE CHRIS MATTHEWS SHOW AS THE WORST ???? He is a blabber mouth, infantile, ignorant, sissy lib who doesn't make sense to the point he is funny ! The few times I do watch him I have fun with his dialogue to nowhere.....kinda like Colbert but not nearly as good. Plus his guests are all losers.....Bob Schrum ? Please leave us. Last but not least, he steps on everyone's lines and has no respect or courtesy for anyone.....but, normal for a spoiled brat with very low ratings. JKD New Orleans |

| Iron Eagle | Posted – 2/14/2008 12:24:59 PM | show profile 1. Bill O'Reilly 2. Tucker Carlson 3. Geraldo 4. Glenn Beck 5. Hannity and Combover |
| Latin1 | Posted – 2/14/2008 5:15:51 PM | show profile Actually chucho... I have met many of so-called liberals (liberal fascists and sexists) who are misogynistic, but liberals believe they are far above it all, but many are misogynistic, elitist and some are even subconsciously racist. If you really listen to what many, who pass for liberals these days, speak you will notice that they are worse than conservatives because they BELIEVE they are 'above it all'. |
| Latin1 | Posted – 2/14/2008 5:16:54 PM | show profile as for Chris Matthews... I can say I have been privileged not to watch his rants on his show. |
