Yes, because "brains" and "personality" are the first thing I think of when talking about "crushes". My celebrity crush isn't Jessica Biel because she has a Phd in calculus from MIT. And my "man crush" definitely isn't John Cena because I think we could have a serious intellectual discussion if he would just stop geting F5ed by Brock Lesnar for 5 minutes.

How do you suppose Megyn Kelly stays off unemployment?

It works like that for a lot of people. Just like a lack of intelligence is a turn off for a lot of people.

You always like to tweak my nipples, I swear.

What Aethien said.

They do? Who? How could you tell anyway?



Hmm... While I'll freely admit my own biases may be blinding me here, I see plenty of people on Fox news who express liberal points of view that I disagree with strongly. I very very very very very rarely see a point of view expressed on CNN that I would identify as conservative, and still see a ton of stuff that I view as liberal.

And MSNBC? You're kidding, right? MSNBC is the liberal version of the strawman version of Fox News that liberals portray. It's out and out liberal propaganda from start to finish. I've never seen a conservative on that show who wasn't either there to be ridiculed or was some kind of strawman conservative (labeled as such, spouting crazy stuff conservatives don't believe, but liberals think they do, etc).



This is primarily because she never has anyone on her show who doesn't already agree with her. When was the last time you actually saw her disagreeing in any meaningful way with a guest? Over minor points? Sure. But actually disagreeing in principle on something? I suppose it may have happened, but I can't recall it. She picks her guests so that they'll make her look like the smartest person in the room while she's tossing digs at conservatives.

She never actually puts conservatives on her show who might defend the things she attacks though, so of course she never has to interrupt them or appear rude. That's not really a sign of good honest journalism btw. It's cheer leading.



Olbermann was just the most obvious of the bunch. Mathews is pretty over the top ridiculous as well. I can only take him (or Maddow for that matter) for about 10 minutes at a time before I have to change the channel to avoid yelling at them for all the blatant factually wrong things they say.

It's easy to appear smart and knowledgeable when you never put yourself in a room with someone who disagrees with you *and* knows how to elaborate on that disagreement. Both of those hosts, when they do put someone on who disagrees with them, manage to find someone with the most idiotic counter arguments imaginable. It's almost laughable, because when this happens, I'm not even yelling at the hosts, but the supposedly conservative guest because he's not bothering to make the obvious arguments based on conservative positions, but manages to present something stupid that perfectly fits the strawman conservative assumptions of the left.


Say what you will about Fox News, but they do at least have actual debates on issues on that network with actual liberals and actual conservatives in attendance.

Only here?

Matthews is a tool, I will agree with you on that. I find the man completely obnoxious. He's a perfect example of how just because a man is liberal does not mean he is a feminist ally. I'll never forget seeing him actually pinch Hillary Clinton on the cheek during the 2008 campaign, as if she was a little kid of something. She's got nerves of steel for not kneeing him in the groin.

I bet him and Michelle Bachmann have a list!

I feel like time is looping in on itself.

I made that same mistake three times last week.

You ask them what baseball team they like. If they say Cincinnati, they are Communists.
