3. Wolf deserves mention..
He barely conceals his bias. And he gets a lot of airtime.

5. Diane Soywhore
Is a Repuke asskisser and has ALWAYS been a Repuke asskisser. She wrote speeches for Richard Nixon, so how can she claim objectivity (which, in fairness, she doesn't even try to).
John
She chafes my ass.

13. I gotta say OTHER, since NPR has completely sold out to
the bastards, and they should know better. So, they dissapoint me the most.

15. Larry King should be on there
But I voted for Russert. I probably would have voted for Russert even if Larry King had been on there. But in my opinion, those are the big two. Russert, for whoring while pretending to be a serious hard-hitting journalist; King for whoring like it's a sin not to whore.

17. Yeah....
Hannity is very whorish in his holier than thou method of entertaining. He gives O'Reilly a run for his money.

18. My personal least favorite is the odious
Joe Scarborough. I just want to knock the smirk right off his face.

I don't think that Dan Rather belongs here. I have read/seen two interviews that he gave in England where he said what would happen to any journalists who reported certain stories in the U.S. He said they would be ``necklaced,'' an apartheid term. Here's an interview with Greg Palast, where he recounts his conversation with Dan Rather. He gets to Dan about half way through the interview. This interview was with Hustler, BTW. Greg Palast has the courage to tell the truth, but the mainstream press won't touch him.:grr:
