Which of these "liberal" pundits/reporters is a closet rightwinger?

[corporatewhore]

1. WTF Bill Moyers ????????

[Fenris]

4. Why the fuck not? It's a bloody poll.

The poster isn't saying these pundits are rightwingers.

[Delano]

6. Hey, I'm not accusing.

This was all the "liberal" TV pundits I could think of. In fact, Moyers is the only one who really IS a liberal as far as I can tell. Rooney, maybe.

I've always regarded Cronkite with a bit of suspicion. He may not be a rightwinger, but he is EXTREMELY pro-establishment. He scoffs at anyone who would dare question the infallibility of the Warren report.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

8. Rooney's a Liberal.

I think we can be pretty sure of that.

[Fenris]

10. And a crabby one at that!

I like curmudgeons. I consider myself one.

[ET Awful]

11. I agree . . . but I only aspire to be a curmudgeon :)

I need another 30 years or so :).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. It's a truly great word. Curmudgeon.

[Fenris]

17. I am also fond of the phrase "jaundiced observer."

[Screaming Lord Byron]

20. No one gets Jaundice anymore.

Why is that?

[Fenris]

23. And people aren't wearing enough hats.

The world needs more of both.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. Yeah. What happened to Victorian Morality?

Them were the days. Oh hang on....

[Uzybone]

2. Matthews of course

he doesn't even pretend.

[Delano]

7. I believe he still claims to be a democrat.

And he often brings up his service under Carter. I don't think he's ideological as much as he looks at it like a sport and wants to be on the winning side. He is above all else, a stank HO.

[Wickerman]

3. Colmes and Matthews in the closet

as Republicans? Is that a glass closet?

[mvd]

29. Colmes, if any

How could any true liberal put up with that abuse for money? I've never thought Matthews or Van Susteren were closet liberals. They are "moderate" at best. MSRNC, in its deluded state, tries to sell Matthews as their liberal - but you can tell if you watch Matthews that he doesn't try to hide his right wing views. And I heard that if Brokaw gets into politics, he'd run as a Democrat.

[AntiCoup2K4]

5. Tweety, Colmes, and Greta.

Hell, two of them work for the official state media even! And Tweety wishes he did.

[Commendatori]

9. Brokaw

I've seen him barely be able to conceal his glee when reporting on something that makes the Shrubster look good.

[Kat45]

26. I agree on Brokaw.

I just get that vibe from him.

[Delano]

12. I really expected Colmes to win this one handily.

He's so transparent it's pathetic. He seldom stands up for a liberal cause at all, and when he does, I makes sure to be as incomplete and unconvincing as possible, while ALWAYS acknowledging the validity of the conservative viewpoint. I dislike him more than Hannity because he is a phony.

[mobuto]

14. Where's Mara Liasson?

[Canuckistanian]

15. Colmes is a joke

Or should I say colmes

[Lisa0825]

16. I don't know if he declares any political affiliation, but Sam Donaldson.

His show "Live in America" on the radio really annoys me. He keeps it mostly middle of the road, but continually softballs the conservative callers, and has way too many good things to say about the pResident. Of course, Houston's KTRH decided it wasn't conservative enough for them, so they reworked the schedule, booted him to the weekend, and added Hannity instead.... blech!

[physioex]

18. Colmes is just a token liberal...EOM

And not a very good liberal...hahahaha

[drumwolf]

19. Does anyone else think Christopher Hitchens should be in there?

n/t

[Westegg]

22. You simply can't compare Hitchens to some network talking head...

...the man writes like a fucking dream and has more smarts than Jennings, Brokaw and Rather put together. Disagree with him? Fine. Want to kick his smug, Limey ass occasionally? Okay. I know I do. But I respect his brain, and I can't say that about too many others I see on the small screen these days.

[Delano]

27. Hitchens always looks plastered or hung over.

He may be clever, but I thhink he's totally whored out. Charles Krauthammer is even more annoying.

[NightTrain]

21. Definitely NOT Cronkite or Moyers!

n/t

[tjwash]

25. Very close between Colmes and tweety...

Colmes is the worst though, he's a f**king sellout.

[Taverner]

28. Chris "Tweety" Matthews is neither right nor left

He watches and discusses politics like sportscasters do - for him its all a game. Admittedly, this was a refreshing take on it, but politics is more than just sport as real lives are affected. No one got killed when the Pats cheated the Raiders out of the SuperBowl a few years ago. But plenty have died since Bush* cheated Gore out of E2K,,,

30. i'd ad george stephanoplis to the list
