Discussion: Who's the best and worst talking head on TV?(and have you changed your mind recently..)
one man's opinion....

Posted on 08/30/2004 11:15:12 AM PDT by ken5050

It's a slow day, both in the office, and here on FR, and Rush is boring today..Must be jet lag. So, as the political season heats up, the number of talking heads increase, as well as their on-air frequency. I'm wondering, which do you love, and which do you love to hate, and more importantly, have you changed you mind lately...

speak to whoever controls the tv--they'll probably change the station.

sometimes you just have to ask.

"This weekend I was forced to watch Chris Matthews (tv at my gym) and noticed he had 4 liberal journalists as a 'panel' for discussion. The MSM used to throw in a token moderate/conserative like Broder or Safire, which I always took to be a token gesture."

Seems I read somewhere that the conservative talking heads were boycotting Chrissy's show in response to his dispicable behavior toward Michelle Malkin. Matthews is the worst - he puts words in your mouth then berates you for what you never said in the first place. He won't let his "guests" answer a question, they get out two words and he starts screaming at them. No wonder he can't beat "The Farm Report" in the ratings. I also don't think Ann Coulter is very good on TV. Although she is a very good writer, she comes off as catty and shrewish on television. The best are Brit Hume, Cavuto and Homer Simpson.

Part of my comments were tongue-in-cheek. I really should watch more of the liberal media than I do, despite my gag reflex.

OMG !!, LOL how could I have forgotten about Cruella de Ville?? Haven't seen her too much lately. Chris Matthews LOVES her.

Agree, Brit is the best, I like Mort, Krauthammer, Fred, Major Garret, Cavuto, Gibson. Saw a special on W hosted by John King on CNN last night. Surprisingly fair and balanced.

Hey, lay off the Farm Report! Speaking as a rural American, the farm report and RFDTV are a great network. Sorry most city types don't see it that way, but I'd much rather be out on my land than surrounded by liberal loons in the city.

There is a reason that the middle of the country is solid red for republicans, rural America is a solid republican voting block. ;)

Michelle Malkin is my favorite without a doubt. She is the only conservative who consistently rails against the open borders crowd. Even though a large plurality of the U. S. population is in favor of stricter control of our borders the national media and both major political parties refuse to even acknowledge this problem.

I didn't mean to diss The Farm Report by any means. What I meant was that Chrissy can't even out draw a show that airs at about 5:30 AM in most most markets. (a time of day that most dems have never seen in their lives) 'Ole joebuck gets up at 4:30 every morning - hey, some of us have to get up that early in order to support the American whining class.

Best: Brit Hume
Worst: Bob Novak- he is a sputtering old fool up against sankes like Begala and drooling Carville. But that is the way that CNN likes it.

I've dropped Rush; same old stuff, he talks about himself too much. I like Laura Ingrim(spelling).

Worst: Aaron Brown on CNN ... he comes across as an aging, closeted queen.

I saw him on TV once (I think I was on the way to the Cartoon Network). Creepy guy.

Absolutely!

Krauthammer is the best.

Susan Estrich (ewww), Juan Williams and CeCe Connolly are tied for worst.

(I only watch FoxNews...usually can't stomach the others)
