Exactly. The typical Fox News viewer.
They'd rather watch Glenn Beck's latest paranoid conspiracy theory than
Bill Moyer's Journal.

I just use it as one example of actual news, as opposed to the so-far-
off-the-right-wing-they-fell-on-their-heads-repeatedly WorldNetDaily, or
the Sludge Misreport or Rush the Fathead.

Maddow and Olbermann are commentators with solid journalism credentials,
unlike Bill "SHUT UP!" O'Reilly, Sean "my buddy is Hal

or Glenn "Vicks Vapo-Rub under the eyes" Beck.
