Bruce Bartlett did not do a poll, he did a survey of the polls you mention where questions about issues where there is legitimate disagreement were phrased from a strictly progressive/liberal point of view. If a conservative site did the same poll with the questions about the same issues were phrased from a strictly conservative point of view, the results would be 180 degrees from the ones you cite. The guy who sold pet rocks became a millionaire, yes he did but did he sell them to idiots? Maybe, I never bought one.

Bartlett also lumped shows such as Hannity and the O'Reilly factor in as news shows. They are not and have never claimed to be anything other than opinion shows. I always thought that Glenn Beck was way out there in a lot of ways. I also think that Hannity gets a bit over the top from time to time. But O'Reilly? He has defended Obama more than even some on MSNBC.

Your comments gave me a good laugh, if it seemed I was questioning your intelligence, I apologize.
