1. I think KO is going overboard criticizing his competitors night after night.

It's all about Keith. We have bigger problems KO, like a war that continues and you spend your time going off on slights made regarding your candidate in the news media? Get over yourself and get back to doing something constructive rather than just dissing your competitors to lower their ratings and jack up yours. Your success has gone to your head. We can tell by when your nostrils flare when going after Bill O.

2. Got yer whaambulance right here. You obviously didn't watch

this show. He's all over everything that's going on, including the war, McSame, etc. If you weren't so intent on criticizing him, you'd know that.

3. And you're criticizing yadayadayada for criticizing Kieth for criticizing ...

when will it all end????

[babylonsister]

4. Just pointing out that he doesn't know what he's talking about. nt

13. Damn;

And I just unblocked 'Certain' people!

[Evergreen Emerald]

6. I agree..he has become a caricature of that which he constantly criticizes.

I wish he would stop with the red-faced spitting. It makes him look at bit unhinged.

And regarding his criticism of Couric: he has been awful and unprofessional and downright wrong about Clinton. It was obvious that he cannot be objective.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. Yeah! He was SO WRONG about her not winning. nt

8. last I check, Couric wasn't in the same time slot--and while Couric is a 'news' program, it comes up

light on the bigger problems that KO actually does cover (Iraq and the like) whereas we get so much fluff from the "news" lady -- who had to apologize about her pre-War coverage because of pressure from executives.

Given a choice (no television at all would be no. 1), but between Katie Fluff and KO, with respect ot issues and problems, KO wins hands down.

9. He's pointing out hypocrisy and bad journalism. Thank goodness someone is.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. Bad journalism is a major problem in America

Huge mistake for Bill Clinton to throw out the 'Fairness Doctrine' that led to the Reich Wing moneybags like Murdoch and the folks at Clear Channel buying up all the talk radio, and most of the TV news.

The Fourth Estate is a cowed, and/or bought out shadow of what it once was in the "Pentagon Papers" era. If KO existed back in that day, and carried on like this I would agree he bashes his competition too much, but there is a crisis in network and radio journalistic integrity and SOMEONE has to say something about it. So I applaud him for being one of the few voices that do.

10. Competition? Those two hacks are no competition. They're not even in the same league.

[AlbertCat]

12. Right (as in "correct") & Wrong

KO may be arrogant, but he is right most of the time....so he can be, can't he?

Worst Person is a segment....and an easily filled one. I love it, just like I love "Top 10" here. We've been called traitors, cowards, enemies of the US, and more from the Right (as in "conservative") for years now. Surely they can take it from some sports announcer guy....right? (as in "do you agree"). You don't think Bill-O deserved to be examined and then served up like sushi for being an idiot? Let KO enjoy it. I sure do!

5. i love KO's impersonation of steve douchey

way to go KO! keep pounding on the media whores!

[BigD_95]

11. I love KO

my favorite show to watch!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

[ananda]

16. I have no problem..

.. with the worst person being designated
as Katie Couric.

She's a bimbette and a parasite on the
cankered skin of the body of the media.
