My Newest Badge Of Honor
November 17th, 2008, 3:46 PM EST
The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press did a survey on the favorite and least favorite “campaign journalists”. I’m proud to announce that I’m among the Republicans’ bottom five.
Thank you, Republicans, for this cherished honor. You’ve made me proud of myself.
The least favorite is Sean Hannity. Alan , you are fair.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hannity is spewing again.It’s Barrack’s market,he says today.Hey Sean who is been president for the last 8 years?
November 17th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
The uncertainty and fear of Obama contribute to the low market, says Hannity.So he is the winner of “least favorite”.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
What did Couric do to upset Democrats?
November 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Sean Hannity interviewed Sarah Palin on a couple of time.He did not ask her one substantive question.Now he is complaining about CBS- 60 min. for a soft interview of Obama.Ho! that’s why he worries about the fairness doctrine.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Re Katie Couric, not sure but a lot of Democrats were upset with her when she did an interview with John McCain and it was reported later that the interview had been edited making McCain look better than he actually sounded without the edit.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Alan keep your head up.We have no doubt that you can do better.Look at the bright side,you have 4 years to work on it.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Everybody just hates on Couric it seems….
November 17th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Gratz, Alan, that’s a few more points liberal street cred coming at ya.
“Everybody just hates on Couric it seems…”
Women more so than men, according to PEW.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Do any of you liberals have an opinion of Keith Olberman?
November 17th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Keith Olbermann?
Love him.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Congratulations Big A!!!!!
November 17th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
I don’t think much of Keith either.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Congratulations! You’ve still got some way to go to beat Olbermann and Matthews though. It’s because they shout, I think. You have to start shouting more, Alan, then in four years you might have a shot at the top three (let’s not call is ‘bottom three’, that sounds negative, and being disliked by Republicans can only be a positive sign)
November 17th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Ha! Congrats Alan.
I think.
Nobody I know enjoys Couric anymore. I think she started losing her integrity when she used that anal camera during a colon segment … yeah,… that might’ve been it. Once you’ve seen that , well …
Olberman and Matthews are due the bottom of the barrel award. Alan, I wouldn’t have included you in the bottom five. Nope.
Jeez, why is FOX a candidate from the Dem’s? Fox is the only cable newscast that is actually balanced -as in having a representative from opposing views on air and letting both sides speak — :)
November 17th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I’m a liberal and I personally can’t stand Keith Olbermann - way over the top. But he’s about the only liberal journalist I can’t stand. My list of conservative journalists is a different story - but by far Sean Hannity is the worst!
November 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I guess Sean should feel honored as well.
November 17th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I have no idea what Hannity is like in real life…but of TV and radio he’s a scumbag! The guy has no reality other than his role as a right wing pundit. No matter what happens, he will always tow the same line and to me that reveals he is a phony!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Love to see you on that list ALAN. I like CHRIS and KEITH as well. Keep up the good work.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Congratulations, Alan. Considering the source, you should take your placement on the list as an indication that you are doing good work.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Keep up the great work, Alan!
November 17th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Alan, you’re not a commentator, you’re a talking points reader….I get a tingle going up my leg when Dick Morris tells you to shut your pie-hole! My wife and I call you “what about Alan” because whenever someone makes a good point against your commie-liberal agenda, all you can do is start spewing “what about McCain, what about Palin, what about Bush, what about Reagan,what about Lincoln…what about….what about….what about…..you’re so pathetic….
Talk to you soon…..
November 18th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Alan,
Oh, how funny it is to follow a fellow New Hampshire resident on this posting. Congrats on being one of the Republicans Least Favorite Election News Reporters!!! Yeah, all of us Liberals here in NH are communists. lol New Hampshire has now voted twice for Democrats both in 2006 and now 2008. We are now a blue state. Get over it Dan from NH!! Love ya Alan!!
November 18th, 2008 at 1:28 am
Hey Tim,
Ten to one you you’re not a native New Hampshire guy, and five to one you moved up here from Liberaland (AKA Taxachusetts) to escape being taxed back to the stone age by your party leaders…..c’mon now be honest….
November 18th, 2008 at 1:49 am
“…Dick Morris…”
We can guess the rest.
“…commie-liberal agenda…”
See what I mean?
November 18th, 2008 at 7:02 am
Rocky….stop guessing….Dick Morris is just a guy who owns Alan on a regular basis….unlike Alan, he doesn’t take a big gulp of kool-aid before he goes on the air, and actually has thoughts that are his own….he has also forgotten more than you or Alan will ever know….as for the “commie-liberal” thing? Gets a rise out of you guys every time…..probably hits to close to home…..”Live Free or Die”
November 18th, 2008 at 8:04 am
What’s REALLY funny is that the left, says about people like Dick Morris; ‘He just gets RNC talking points, drinks his daily dose of kool-aid, and spouts his “right wing fascist propaganda”‘.
Nothing from the gasbags on EITHER side ACTUALLY ‘hits too close to home’.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I think it is fun to watch Alan when he gets flustered on H&C. I enjoy watching guys like Carl Rove, Dick Morris, Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich, Mark Steyn, Tony Blankley, and ladys like Mary Matlin, Michelle Malkin, and Ann Colter put Alan in his place. It just gets Alan so frustrated. Sometimes he seem to get a little upset, like one show when he said “paybacks are hell.” Funny stuff.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:28 am
LOL indeed. Dick Morris can try to put Alan “in his place” as much as he wants as it is always Alan who has the last laugh.
Dick Morris is usually proven wrong and Alan usually right. That is why Dick Morris is so hostile to Alan. Morris said Obama was not going to win, that “Joe the Plumber” would resonate after a few days and make the difference in the election.
Didn’t turn out that way, now did it?
You were WRONG Dick, dead wrong.
Alan right, Dick wrong again. And Dick don’t like that. :)
November 18th, 2008 at 8:40 am
To Oldlefty…..what’s ironic about your response is that Morris actually has been on both sides…. he helped get Clinton elected, and was probably his closest advisor when Willy got re-elected….he was called in (secretly, at first) to to help figure out how to hold off the Monica problem until after the elction….I not sure I’d consider him a republican, but apparently he now choses to expose the Clinton Crime Family…..and by the way, who exactly are you quoting? Or did you just make that up because it fits your point?
To Willy…..it got really bad for Alan when Joe the Plumber, that vastly experienced pundit, slapped Alan around like a…..well, you know……
November 18th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I’m with Danielle. I’m not sure if it’s for the same reason. I just think he’s way too long-winded and verbose.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:43 am
WFG-using “long-winded” & “verbose” in the same sentence is superfluous….see how I’m trying to pare it down just for you?
November 18th, 2008 at 10:56 am
I’d thought verbose had a somewhat different meaning. Thanks for the correction. And, yes, I do see your use of condescension to convince me I should ignore your posts. It’s worked.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Hmm. Spam blocked.
Anyway, thanks for the correction, which I appreciate, and the condescension, which I see as your request that I ignore you. Done.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Willy & Dan:
What are you guys snorting, and can I have some? I’d like to have my perception distorted to that extreme.
Seriously, I wish Hannity and Colmes was on CNN so Colmes could be unleashed - It must be hell working for a Ultracon Republican company.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:27 am
JFJ…..I see what I see……Colmes gets creamed by anyone who can think on their feet….then he quickly changes the subject….”what about……what about….”
November 18th, 2008 at 11:57 am
your buddy Dan from NH, (why don’t caps show up when you copy and paste a name?)
“Morris actually has been on both sides”
More evidence that he is, as they say on the Sopranos, a ‘hoo-er’.
The Clintons fired him, so he decided to leave a career in government for a career as a professional gasbag, and carry water for what people like Mike Malloy have called “the Bush Crime Family” for years.
I have not watched TV news for 4 years now, but, I heard many say that they felt sorry for Sam Wurzelbacher
with Alan, Colmes, because he has no facts, Alan mopped the floor with him.
I guess people see what they want to see.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Clinton fired Morris after Morris was caught with a hooker (pardon; make that ‘escort’).
He’s been on a vendeta ever since.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Morris has already been very very wrong about so many things. Every time he says “I wrote about it in Fleeced” I start to laugh because he’s so far out of left field.
“Obama is the reason the stocks are falling, they’re selling now [at a huge loss apparently] to get out of paying a higher Gap Gains Tax [which would mean that the relative amount of money would be MUCH MUCH higher than it is now, so they'd be better off holding]”
Seriously, even school kids with Lemonade stands have a better handle on the economy than this guy.
In what world does it make sense to sell at a loss to avoid paying 2.5% more taxes if you make a profit?
Read all about it in Fleeced! Where I discuss how the Conservatives want to silence National Public Radio for giving impartial reporting on government, where I discuss how a Republican controlled house and Senate allowed Bush a free reign at the beginning of his presidency and allowed the american people’s liberties to be stripped away with wiretaps and racial profiling, where I point out that I am in fact, a complete hack who is trying to ride out this financial crisis by taking YOUR hard earned money and blaming a black guy who’s only been around a couple years.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Katie Couric is the only journalist on the list.
November 18th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
OLDLEFTIE….(I think you deserve the caps)”I havn’t watched tv news for 4 years…..but from what I heard”…what kind of crap is that? How do you expect to have credibilty basing your thoughts….on…. the thoughts of others….oh, I forgot, the kool-aid thing….sorry…
Morris is a washed up blowhard, which makes even more hillarious when he puts the buffing wheel on Colmes forehead….but nobody on the planet knows more about the Clinton Crime Family (CCF)……
Katie, a journalist? You’re kidding right?
November 18th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Alan, if I could bottle the truth as a virus and break it over your head, do you think you could catch it? Just once?
November 18th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
“…as for the “commie-liberal” thing? Gets a rise out of you guys every time…”
Actually what it does, in the minds of most liberals, is paint you as a bonehead in desperate need of a thesaurus, and it gives your post all the credibility of a Bill Clinton, when he says, “I didn’t inhale.”
“…probably hits to close to home…”
Maybe your home, since all the real commies live on the right.
“”Live Free or Die””
Yeah, words are cheap.
