everything he says comes out of his mouth via of what is good for Isreal which the last time I checked is still not part of America. So to me its out with the blitzer and in with the jackster to take his place. Now theres an old man I miss since I quit watching can

7. no one.

Not into "banning" speech. I am perfectly capable of not watching folks I don't want to watch, however.

10. I have already banned most of them from my home.

I watch Colbert, Olbermann, Maher and Jon Stewart on the internet. Occasionally I watch some news special on the internet, and I watch the debates on the internet. The rest of them are pretty much banned because I do not have cable, and I do not turn on the TV except to watch a video. It is wonderful. The loudmouths they put on TV do not know what they are talking about most of the time.

19. Same here. . .

I have cable, but haven't watched a news show or any so-called "pundits" in quite some years.

We got cable for our children in 2000, just in time for the election debacle, and though I hadn't seen televised news in years, I realized they were all useless weeks before the Supreme Court's shameful decision. Haven't watched one since, have no desire to see any of it today. Oh, I'll watch the occasional clip on the internet, and like to read some of the commentaries on cable news posted to blogs, but I've no desire to watch any of it live.

15. I'd like to see rush limbaugh in leg irons and in jail

instead of banning the right wing nutsos...I wish there was a way to make them look as stupid as they are. Then they could stay on forever and no one would even listen.

I'd be thrilled if Hannity, Beck, Bill-o, or any of the other buffoons tanked because people stopped watching them.
