    There's a name from the past. Used to listen to him occasionally on KOA out of Denver. I think it has been years since I've seen or heard his name mentioned.

    What I find interesting is that you admit that Olberman is far left but you have don't want to hang him from the golden gate bridge like you want to do with others on the right.

    I have a feeling you want the fairness doctrine and want to shut people up that doesn't share your views?
    Is this kind of thinking is what America has always been about?

    At least you know where these people lean unlike the major news networks that act like they are objective but have a left bias.
    Somehow I wonder if you have a problem with that?
    I'm actually taking up for Olberman here along with the others.
    Btw, there are plenty of hypocrites on both sides so lets don't go there!

    Do you support the fairness doctrine?
    Most people on the left want to shut up all opposition yet they preach tolerance!

    I never watch Olberman much, he lives in a black and white world with little concept of a middle. He's a bit too smug to be entirely believable and often just pulls people's chains. But . . . they all do that, I suppose.

    Haven't watched Olbermann's show before, so I put it on for a little while. Didn't see anything too crazy, except for the fact he's still running a segment railing on the Bush administration. Starting to think that he's getting desperate without a Republican administration to rail on.

    Bullshiit. Shultz gets creamed in 4 out of the 5 markets he compete directly with Hannity and Limbaugh in. Nobody wants him cause his ratings suck. He even takes the azz end in san fran, cornerstone of liberal whack jobs. Shultz is a douche bag.

    So you are saying that it aint going to happen over the next 4 years?
    Right?
    Why should they?
    Left wing radio fails, most broadcasters cancel shows with poor ratings.
    The ones that don't go out of business.
    Are you telling me that if you owned any company you would stick to your game plan if it wasn't working, failing?

    Lets say you own a broadcasting company, you have a show with great ratings and one with bad.
    You are saying you are going to keep the bad one also?
    It isn't anyone's fault that liberal radio fails, hello Air America!
    Do I really need to say anything else?
