Not Your “Typical” Fox News Punditry
Chris Wallace takes the Morning Zoo Crew at Faux Noise to task for two hours of unfair Obama Bashing, and gets some love from Daily Kos in the process.
Nice to see there’s at least one adult on that network.
d-Kos Front Pager, Scout Finch has posted the clip of Wallace debating the Fox and Friends anchors and calling them out for being the numbskulls they are.
(Since I’m a YouTube Luddite, here’s a link to the clip if the embedded video fails.)
Keith Olbermann reported that after the juvenile antics continued, one of the anchors got up and left the studio — and the two left kept it up (to their producer’s delight). Worst Persons indeed.

This makes my head hurt, Chris Wallace does something nice? Wish I could say the same of Olbermann. That guy has totally jumped the shark, I tried watching Countdown last night (had taped it to watch later) and quit after no stop hyperventilating for 45 minutes about Obama’s passport. He has become a parody of O’Reilly and deserves his own worst person in the world. I tuned in tonight and rather than leading with the correction that all 3 candidates have had their records checked, he has moved on to better things. I have watched him for years and enjoyed him, now he is just a crazed loon, SIR HAVE YOU NO SHAME indeed

In fairness to Kieth, I think the passport coverage was a at the producer/network pay grade, and Keith was just covering the breaking news as any anchor would, as Dan Abrams did next. When that kinda thing happens, a whole days worth of preparation goes out the window.

Sorry, I can’t give him a pass like that after he has gone totally off the rails, i.e. his special comments about Hillary. The guy has totally lost his objectivity and I can’t forgive him for that. I watched him for years because I felt he looked at politics with a mostly neutral eye. It is ironic he gives Fox and O’Reilly worst persons in the world awards constantly but he is becoming a left wing parody of them. Blaming this on his producer is just lame. I recorded him and watched all the time but I can’t stomach his morphing into another Russert/Matthews. Now the passport fracas is a plot by Hillary? Give me a break.
