If Limbaugh would accept the opposite challenge -- to not mention for 30 days people *he* disagrees with, then maybe that would be fair.

Does TV Squad have any conservative writers?

This site is call TV Squad so I understand why you guys do these "news" programs, even though I really just come here for the reviews and talk about entertaiment.

But even I have noticed that every opinion when it comes to politics is the same here.

Every "liberal" show/host is applauded while every "conservative" program/host is skewered.

You all make fun of and mock the same things. I can't believe there's not one person who mocks Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow. Look at them. They are as weird and extreme and Shaun Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.

I'm assuming that TV Squad is mostly made up of volunteers. Is that why its so left-wing? I find it so weird that when you talk scripted shows and reality shows, your opinions vary.

But when you talk politics and political figures and officials, its like there's a company line to tow. Where are the varying opinions about those shows as well?

Seriously? What does that even mean?

Honestly, I don't want to look at Rush Limbaugh while I get my news, whether it's in a negative or positive light. Giving him more exposure is like asking the kid having a hissy fit in the corner 'what's wrong?' If you really want to upset a blowhard whose ego is bigger than his waistband, then do what he says and stop talking about him. Sure, he'll somehow spin whatever the outcome is in his favor, but the people that don't listen to him won't have to hear about it - or him at all.

Um, blogging about TV and commenting on something on Olbermann does NOT make the web site ultra liberal. It makes it a blog about TV. Duh.

Limbaugh doesn't represent anything conservative. He represents HATE and FEAR and, most importantly, HYPOCRISY.

Not even conservatives know what it means to be conservative anymore.

Wow, is that your final retort Keith? F YOU! That's all the intellect I'd expect from a sports announcer.

Actually, I think TV Squad does a pretty good job of staying apolitical. At least, I've noticed them make fun of the left and right equally.

Some places just need to be given the benefit of the doubt.

As long as Limbaugh is the de facto head of the Republican Party, then the wacky, crazy-ass crap he says is legitimate news, and as such, it's perfectly fair and reasonable - in fact, expected - for Olbermann to report on it. Insofar as the thigns Limbaugh says are inaccurate, misleading, half-truths, or otherwise falsities, it's perfetly proper and responsible for Olbermann to point out such things. Same goes for all news anchors/networks. To not do so for the spokemen of both political parties is irresponsible - nobody should be permitted to lie, mislead, or be a hypocrite with impugnity.

When Limbaugh begins picking apart the things Oblermann says, showing how they are, in fact, not true, let me know. Until then, Olbermann is in the right here.

And I hate both political parties, I've been horribly disappointed with Obama, I despise Bush, I am not a registered Democrat, so don't accuse me of being biased.

The sooner you all realize that ALL government is corrupt beyond our wildest imagination you see that none of these people matter.

The point being, both parties want us to argue with each other about meaningless crap. If we blame each other for our problems, then we ignore the bigger issue, which is that we have a government that is totally out of control.

Obama is just like every other politician before him. He's in power to take care of his buddies. He could give a crap about the country, or any of us. Give it time, people will see he's nothing special. Fact is, he's done NOTHING in his previous political career. He can speak well with his teleprompter, but that's about it. Wait, he "wrote" two books......

Carrie, if you get your news from Keith O. you've got more things to worry about than the ticker at the bottom of your screen.

Keith is a commentator who used to be a journalist. If he was in the newspaper biz, he would have a nice article in the op-eds page.

He's not good for getting the news. He's good for getting one side of a debate. Just like Hannity and O'Reilly and Maddow and Stewart...

Listen to both sides, you will have a pretty well-rounded view of things. But don't go to them for the hard truth. Just the spin version.

Also, Limbaugh is only the defacto Republican head to ignorant liberals who really don't want to talk policy and issues but really just want to argue about extremes.

If you guys want to play three blind mice then find another little mouse, cause I am not playing this game.

Are you seriously telling me, you don't see the slant in this article? Seriously?

Okay. Maybe it wasn't blatant enough for you or you've decided to ignore the ENTIRE end of the article. Because its the ending that makes this article lean more than that tower in italy.

Just look at the last two paragraphs. There just insults toward Limbaugh.

And that's all good and well but, in general, every article on this site that insults a talking head... is usually insulting a conservative talking head.

Now, it's fine if you want to only represent one side. But don't act like you're not doing that. This site comes off as an extreme liberal site. Now if you're not, then my question is "are there any conservative writers?"

Pretty simple question.

First let me state that I have my disagreements with Limbaugh.

But that being said, his point is being proven true. MSNBC has such a hard-on for attacking Limbaugh that they physically could not go 30 days without reporting on him. Ridiculous Olbermann only furthers Limbaugh's whole point. Doesn't KO realize that or is he so blinded by promoting his ideology that it escapes him?

Keith O, like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert... they all built careers on the back of making fun of the Republican establishment as it comedically self-destructed. Now that the American far right has imploded and teh Democrats are in power at every level, there is little these guys can really do at the same level they had been used to for 8 years. I've seen them poke at some Dem hypocrisy a few times, but given that by comparison Obama is showing remarkable competence, the humour value in absurdity that kept these guys in business for a decade is faded.

It seems like all three of them have decided to not update their schtick (at least not yet), and keep going with the same old... but now instead of the GOP leadership as the main target they are choosing FOX News and Rush. Fair enough, I suppose... those are still as absurdly ridiculous and hyper-hypocritical as ever, with their tea-bagging parties and sheer panic at being out of power for a few months.

Keith O in particular has little other choice. What the hell else is the guy going to do? Until he turns on Obama for being too moderate, the rants that made Keith famous have to be directed at the few far-right wingers in power, and these happen to be his media rivals. Whatever it takes to keep his viewers watching, eh?
