Top Ten Newscasters That Push My (Remote) Buttons

Think you have a pretty good idea how TV news insiders would talk about Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann behind their backs? Radar went looking to confirm those suspicions in their feature "Head Trauma: Insiders Reveal Television's Most Hated Pundits." Sounds good, right? There are juicy quotes aplenty like this about Keith Olbermann: "He's just a full-blown, red-in-the-face screamer," followed by, "his disregard for those beneath him is almost comical." Ooh. And we thought O'Reilly was the screamer. The Radar list of hated new folks reminded me of the Maxim list of sexiest news anchors (hey, I have a brother. I hear things) and I'm convinced that surely there must be a middle ground. What's between love and hate? Ah, the all powerful remote button. Here are the top ten newscasters, that while I'm sure are lovely people, make me change the channel.

Chris Matthews is annoying! (Not that he's part of your slideshow, but he was on the Radar list.) I almost threw something at the tv last night when he was on the Tonight Show.

What, no Nancy Grace? Have we forgotten that young woman in Florida who killed herself within a day of being grilled by her?

From "The Smoking Gun", November 2006: "On September 8, a day after her interview with Grace, Duckett used a shotgun to kill herself. While Florida police have described Duckett as the prime suspect in her son's disappearance, they have said they believe the boy may still be alive." Her parents sued for wrongful death.

Besides, her style really irritates me, I can't even watch promos for her show.

This may be a sin on CS, but I don't like Anderson Cooper and I don't think he is good looking ...(waiting for lightning to strike)...

Right, Zeze, Anderson Cooper is not good looking. Very creepy looking in my opinion.

I love Glenn Beck. His radio show is easy to listen to, but I have never watched his show. I like his humor.

I actually kind of like Anderson Cooper, but a lot of that is based on the fact that he seemed funny on My Life on the D-List. It moved him up a few notches in my book.

True confession: I actually like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
I guess I feel a kinship with crotchety middle-aged people.

"He actually makes subordinates refer to him as 'The Big Guy.' In earnest."
I can't imagine taking a job with O'Reilly or ANYONE else, who'd behave like such a jerk. My self-respect outweighs my interest in ratings.

Why is Nancy Grace not on this list?!?! She is unbearable to watch. She attacks all her guest with stupid points.

Sean Hannity should also be on the list. He's worse than Bill Oreilly

Don't watch too much TV, but the one time I watched Anderson Cooper he made numerous mistakes, tripping over words, etc., and I thought, "What's all the hype about?" Didn't see a lot of substance there...then again, image and no substance is the American way these days, sadly enough.
