Stephen Colbert takes a page from the Breitbart-O’Keefe school of journalism, and “interviews” Sean Hannity for a new job.

I like him OK. His interview with Orly Taitz was brilliant, in my opinion.
But it isn't always that good, the same schtick over and over gets tiring. Here, a couple times, he drifts into cheap, direct personal insults; something a bit more highbrow would have been more in keeping with the Colbert character.

No talk show host does. I watch O'Reilly regularly, but mostly because he's right of center but not insane. Yes, he's loudmouth egocentrist, but he's not off the deep end like so much of the right.

Yes these days its like Bill O'Reilly has become the Edith Bunker of Fox News....
And doesn't that summon up all kinds of horrible mental images?

Weird. It's a bright, sunny day, but it's only 40F outside. Yet a small cloud of gnats is cavorting outside my window. If they drift into the shade, they'll probably fall out of the sky like tiny rocks.

It has gotten to the point where I just can't stand most news and opinion shows.
They lie or only do one side or let guests lie without pointing out that they are just wrong.
And I mean on both side.
Olberman, Ed and Tweety are just as bad as Bill O' and what passes for news on FOX. Except for Shep...he's pretty darn good.
And I watch Rachel Maddow and even then she has a habit of getting worked up over things.

I respectfully beg to differ:
Bill O'Reilly called George Tiller "a baby killer" without attribution
These instances and others we reviewed clearly show that O'Reilly was not reporting the views of others, but was expressing his own views on the doctor. O'Reilly said in his column that "Some prolifers branded" Tiller a baby killer, "and I reported it," as if he were reporting the views of others. But the transcripts show O'Reilly repeatedly referred to Tiller as a baby killer without attribution. So we find his statement that liberal groups are targeting him for his reporting of what others said to be False.
O'Reilly disgusts me on so many levels I'd be here all day if I had to list them.

The Colbert Report is not a news or opinion show. It's comedy. I guess you just don't think he's very funny.

It's like Russian Roulette, except that instead of five empty changes and one bullet, it's five chambers full of c**k and one of people researching for news reports.

Hey Rogue! Yeah, the first time I heard of it was from my brother-in-law. Decided I'd skip it based on what he said. Guess that's why I found Stewart's bit funny - especially the Katie Couric and Brian William's stuff.

What Colbert and Stewart do best, in my opinion, is expose the media. They're masters at showing the hypocrisy and ineptitude in today's journalists.
Speaking of the media, did anyone else read Jay Rosen's piece on the Loss of Reality in Journalism? It's very good.

I actually read it the same way at first and had to do a double-take. Reminds me of what one of my bosses used to say..."Do you believe the hand is quicker than the eye?" If you answered 'yes' he'd say, "Great, reach over here and give me a quickie and noone will notice." Fun guy to work for...always bought a half gallon of Black Velvet for the crew at the end of the day.

Well, we're getting a better idea of who McCain's base is. Dead people. Well, those who support his campaign against DADT, anyway. And some of the retired generals are claiming they were never asked to be included on his list.
– Multiple generals said they “never agreed” to sign the letter in the first place, writing “I never agreed. To represent either side of this issue” and “I do not remember being asked about this issue.”

TedTalks are great.
In Gates' presentation, I especially liked the image at 14:52. Paducah, KY looks like a wonderful place to live.
I certainly hope someone does come up with an idea of how to dispose of this mess before it starts leaking and working its way into the water-table - as is already happening in several areas of France - not to mention San Bernadino Country and....the former URSS.

Upding, and I want to believe everything you wrote, and often feel I could write the words myself. I especially like the mix of opinions, though where I hold back with the unabashed praise is when things take a dark turn and it gets hard to shake the ill mood stirred up. We can all do a better job of mixing it up in a good way without so much partisan polarization.
