Who is better: Keith Olbermann or Bill O'Reilly?

[WVJimbo]

Take the poll, discuss why you like one or the other, blah blah blah...

[Tanktunker]

They both suck, but Olbermann has a longer surname.

[Blastedt]

Who?

[Tanktunker]

Who?
Shouting heads.

[Joest]

I prefer Keith Olbermann, but they're both pretty bad. Bill O'Reilly is all hate. HATE. HATE. HAET. And, when Bill O'Reilly does make a joke, it's typically in bad taste and is usually something about those KOOKY LIBERALS. OH, LOOK AT THOSE LIBERALS PROTESTING THE PRESIDENT LOL! While, Keith Olbermann is humor mixed with hate. He's more of a satirist than Bill O'Reilly. I find many of Keith Olbermann's jokes funny, probably because it's the same kind of comedy that Steven Colbert uses.

I don't watch either, I just find Olbermann bearable to watch. I usually just watch BBC for news.

[Ignatz]

They're both total dicks, and I would never get my news from either of them.

Still, being a liberal, I'm biased towards Keith.

[Liokae]

Keith is less of a total douche than o'Reily. Not much, but still. Also, a much smaller percentage of his material is flat-out fabrication.

[Dragon]

I just saw "FOX" and then voted for the other guy.

[Sub0]

I voted for Bill because nobody else did :(

[Ignatz]

I voted for Bill because nobody else did :(

You're a good person, Sub. Somewhere, Bill O'Reilly is feeling a bit less lonely.

[Doug05257]

Olbermann and Matthews make me want to gouge my eyes out and stab myself in my ears.

And by that, I mean, change the channel. Fast. Real fast.

[WVJimbo]

Why?

[Blaze Zero-Three]

Why?

Because Doug is FAIR and BALANCED.

[DarkReality]

Like all Republicans.

[Doug05257]

The tl;dr:

Olbermann's brand of 'humor' is really irritating to me. And Matthews tells me about the chills his Savior gives him in naughty places D:

[Mr. Anderson]

Don't screw with Chris Matthews. Dude'll #### you up. He's Irish. And drunk. And crazy. He's off the ####in' wire.


Yeah, Olbermann and O'Reilly are both super-whatever party they support. Olbermann is better because he's less of a douche and doesn't just make #### up all the time.

[ssgtGrimreaper]

Both are garbage. I despise both networks. You can never really tell what's really going on with anything because scum like these are always filling the tubes with their own slanted "news".

[WVJimbo]

When the 2012 election comes around I'm gonna try something different than what I did in '08, I'm' gonna watch BOTH the Olbermann and O'Reilly shows. I like Olbermann, but I don't think it's very good to get all my news from the liberal side. If you think about, one could argue that willfully getting all your news from either the liberal or conservative side makes you a little bit more close minded. (Just my opinion though lol)

[Joest]

I think both Olbermann and O'Reilly should lose their jobs on the basis that they are both twats.

It says it right there in the constitution: thou shall have freedom of speech unless that person is a gigantic douche.

[WVJimbo]

Lmao

From what I gather from this thread, you're better off not getting information from either of them. Stick with Newspapers.

[Joest]

Good newspapers like the LA Times, the Washington Post and the New York Times. Not crap like the Washington Times and the New York Post, which is basically one giant editorial.

[DevonTheGreat]

bill o'reilly is angrier and therefore superior.
