Smerconish Talks To President Obama: Thoughts?

[evolve991]

 Anything that is entirely one sided is structurally unsound. The only place these guys can exist as they claim themselves to be is in the mirror. I believe the person they most wish to convince of thier theories is themselves.Too bad they get the chance to spread it across the airwaves.

It is one of the sad things about both talk radio (Limbaugh, etc, on the right and Bill Press, etc on the left) and talk on cable (MSNBC's Oberman, Maddox, etc on the left, and FOX News Channel's Hannity, Susstrin, etc on the right) there is no room for the person who is a centrist, seeing some good on the right and some good on the left as well as some crap on the right and some crap on the left.

Hey, how about Campbell "No Bias, No Bull" Brown on CNN? How's that working out for her?

Ugh... okay, bad example, but hey, how about another CNN host, Lou Dobbs - you know, "Mr. Independent"?

Okay, nevrmind...

As far as Greta Van Susteren is concerned, despite being on the right-leaning Fox, she actually has a little liberal in her, believe it or not... Read the end of this article: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=26336

I guess one thought with Susteren's move from CNN to Fox, is she really a conservative or liberal, or simply a broadcaster going and saying what she has to say to advance her career?  Same with Paula Zahn. 

Which begs an even larger question.  If our major media giants, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR were right leaning organizations rather than left leaning, would Fox News have been created to lean left, would Hannity, etc, taken left wing views rather than the right wing views they now expose?  Or would there have been different folks on Fox?  Same with Limbaugh and most of talk radio.  If the media landscape had been prodominately conservative rather than liberal would elRushbo have launched a liberal talk format in 1980( instead of his conservative show) and have saved AM radio with liberal talk rather than conservative talk as did happen?  Rush saw a vacuum and filled it.  So if the vacuum had been the opposite would he have filled it or would have AM radio died and the talk radio world, as we know it today never had been created?  Or would have some Liberal dj in radio would have decided to try doing talk and been what Rush became?
