Opinion: We're Becoming a Nation of Haters
By Noah Blumenthal - AOL News(July 9) -- California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa takes pride in opposing the Obama administration. Democratic Reps. Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi played that role when George W. Bush was in office. Keith Olbermann provides a nightly list of "Worst Persons in the World," a personal hate list as much as anything. And Rush Limbaugh's hate rants range from drug addicts to illegal immigrants to, of course, all things liberal. The BP oil disaster spawned hate ranging from The Wall Street Journal to ihatebp.com. There is a trend in America in which we are more and more idolizing people who have ...
Campbell Brown Quits CNN With Shockingly Frank Farewell
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyCNN announced Tuesday that Campbell Brown is stepping down as anchor of . . . the Campbell Brown news show. But more surprising was the straight-talking 8 p.m. news anchor's unusual candor about the reasons for her departure. In an internal but quickly leaked farewell to her colleagues, Brown made clear that she'd decided to jump rather than wait to be pushed and asked to be released from her contract. Though she was more than willing to wrestle with the ever-elusive work-life balance, she won't mind hanging out with her two small sons for a while to "enjoy, for the very first time, the ...

ESPN and Me: How the Worldwide Leader Shaped One Fan's Life
By Mark Hasty - AOL NewsThirty years ago today, something called "ESPN" showed up on America's cable and satellite TV systems. I can't swear that I've been watching it from the very beginning, but if not, it was pretty close. I first heard of the future worldwide leader when the newspaper in my home town of Fort Dodge, Ia., announced that we'd be getting some new channels on our cable system. One of them was something called the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, or something like that. It promised to bring sports news and game broadcasts. If you remember the 1970s, you remember that sports used to be ...
Bill O'Reilly - Keith Olbermann Feud Escalates; GE Responds to 'Smear Campaign'
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGeneral Electric jumped into the long-standing feud between Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann after O'Reilly said that the company -- which owns NBC and MSNBC -- possibly supplies terrorists with material used in roadside bombs. GE said Wednesday that "The O'Reilly Factor" report is "irresponsible and maliciously false." Fox said the GE accusations are unrelated to the battles with MSNBC.The latest round in the O'Reilly-Olbermann fight started Tuesday when O'Reilly, reporting on a possible FBI probe of U.S. companies supplying components for bombs aimed at American ...
The Olbermann-O'Reilly Cease-Fire: Truce and Consequences
By Bob Franken - Politics DailySo here's a question: Does the deal between Rupert Murdoch and Jeffrey Immelt -- the supreme leaders of NewsCorp. and GE, respectively -- to end the idiotic Keith Olbermann-Bill O'Reilly feud, constitute an antitrust violation? ...
MLB Planning Online Newspaper
By Tom Fornelli - AOL NewsMajor League Baseball has generally been the lead dog when it comes to the major American sports and taking advantage of the Internet and technology. They have MLB.tv, which is like, the greatest thing ever for a baseball fanatic such as myself, and they also came out with an application for the iPhone as soon as it hit the shelves. They also have MLB.com which brings in over 60 million unique visitors a month, and now they're looking to expand on it.Since MLB.com doesn't offer anything but the facts of the games and stories going on throughout the league, MLB has decided that it needs a new ...
Actress: Tea Protestors Were Redneck Racists
By Joshua Chaney - Politics DailyDon't like high taxes or runaway government spending? You're a dumb, redneck racist.That's essentially what liberal actor Janeane Garofalo said on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night. She was prompted to give a response on the Tea Party protests after Olbermann ranted on about the protesters "seething with hate." This from Olbermann, who essentially built an entire show around an hour-long, hate-filled rant about then president George W. Bush.Olbermann still rants about Bush in a daily segment each on his show - 100 days after Bush left office, mind you. At what point is he ...
One of the Most Hateful Rants You'll Hear ...
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyMore proof MSNBC's Primetime lineup has gone mad. This is, quite possibly, one of the most irresponsible, juvenile, and hateful rants I've ever heard ...If you still think liberalism is about diversity of opinion, intellectual discussion, and tolerance, you're not paying attention.Race42012 has more. ...
MSNBC Jumps Shark with 'Teabagging' Mockery
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyMSNBC's "low-brow Teabag coverage" and juvenile criticism of Tea Party protesters was a definitive moment for the cable network, inasmuch as it marked the end of what once was, at least, an interesting network.The truth is that, despite my being a conservative, I've always liked watching -- and appearing on -- MSNBC. I think most honest political junkies would agree. After all, before they embraced, "The power of change," they were, in fact, "The place for politics." (And the fact that MSNBC consistently covered politics gave them an interesting, if not profitable, niche.) ...
