Conservative Commentators?

They try to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

People forget that they are merely entertainers in it for a buck, or lots of bucks.

The whole thing is pretty sad. Limbaugh loves to use logical fallacies and they eat it up, thinking he is clever.

Pay attention to how Fox conducts their straw man interviews. Any intelligent person sees right through this but their hard core audience loves it.

They simply repeat what they think these people want to hear and they certainly don't want anything with intellectual content.

It's the dumbing-down of America and the pride that so many have for not being well-educated. Crap like American Idol and all the other "reality" TV, the obsession with celebrities, women who breed litters of babies becoming famous for that, a cell-phone in every ear and so much other stuff has become "normal". The 24 hour news cycle and opinion masquerading as news.

Some of the old time high schoolers are a lot more intelligent than the college grads you have today. Look at Obama. He can't even balance a check book. I hope this is intelligent enough for you.

To be fair... I have learned more from self-education than I have with two Bachelors degrees and a Grad degree.

Not everyone could afford to go to college... especially 30 years ago.

side note - Didn't Olbermann get a degree in 'agriculture'?

Would you have known that they didn't have a college education if someone didn't tell you? Be honest now.

BTW Palin graduated from the University of Idaho. Does this mess up your theory?

Was my answer "intelligent" enough for you?

As the saying goes "garbage in,garbage out" this is the goal of Fox News to create an intellectual waste land of non-thinking, non-questioning sheep.

They are very intelligent and hire people to assist them in covering everything Fair Balanced and Unafraid, now explain why the Liberal outlets are failing.

So I can assume you have never watched Glenn Beck, read any of his books or listened to his radio program?

Conservatives are on the wrong side of reality.

Therefore they need commentators that reinforce their misconceptions.

Smart people won't do it.

...and then there are the amoebas on Air America and MSNBC...
