But in practice it means Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs and all the members of the ######bag patrol. You can put Keith Olbermann in that category too; though he doesn't bother me nearly as much (for obvious reasons...), he still represents precisely what's wrong with American news media: too much slant, too much spin, too much bias, too much polarization, not enough content.

I'll say it again: we have it pretty good up here.
That's how I see it too.

There seems to be an extra meaness and wilful blindness in the Fox commentators compared to the MSNBC people. It's more entertainment than news on either side.
