For balance I would say the same for Keith Olberman on the left. I would suggest you try having an open mind and asking yourself what is really best for the mainstream in this country. The political discourse is so divisive and polarized that it is turning off people who seek solutions instead of rigid ideology and ad hominem attacks. The take no prisoners approach of both the tea party, and the occupy wall-streeters will neither lead to solutions nor electable, effective leaders. By the way the "left-leaning media" is largely a figment of the imagination of right wingers to use as an excuse to denigrate any legitimate criticism of their ideology or their figureheads. The media (not including Fox or MSNBC, both of which are spokespersons for their point of view) is largely simply looking for a story and will gladly skewer any politition on either end of the spectrum if it makes good copy.
