  4. How about Bill O'Reilly? He'd blather on and no one else would get a chance to talk.

  5. Olbermann's good but he spends too much time on trivia. This is not just something his producer or writers do; Olberman dishes with great relish, indicating his heart is in that. Moyers is the real deal.

    You know I was never that big on Russert to begin with. Tough questions, sure, but he let people lie all the time on his show. An article here on The Nation nails him for that.

    What a REAL journalist would do is say, "Excuse me sir, but I don't think you really answered my question." Then repeat it. Dodging and obfuscations should be flagged as such, and discouraged.
