Re: Olbermann / MSNBC Split Win-Win For Both Parties AND the Left

Does Rivera even have his own show at Fox? And how liberal is he? He's
there because his bread and butter is tabloid journalism like
O'Reilly. And Van Susteren...pffft. How is her show liberal? All she
has is guests on criticizing Obama. Her guests are the likes of Former
Bush Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton? Donald Rumsfeld, Arizona
Govenor Jane Brewer, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, etc. The only
liberal she's had on this month was secretary of state Clinton.
