Bob Kohn is an idiot...

Former right-wing columnist and author, Bob Kohn, appeared on Scarborough Country tonight with former House representative of the Republican party, Joe Scarborough. What was the topic? How Faux News' Bill O'Reilly seems to be obsessed with NBC. He ripped on the station last night, claiming that they have a clear left-wing agenda.

Even though Scarborough showed statistics which supported his belief that O'Reilly spends a bit too much time ripping on NBC, Kohn wouldn't have any of it. He referred to Countdown's host, Keith Olbermann, as a "liberal nutjob" and that there was no reason to have such a person hosting a 7:00 CST news show. Scarborough was a Republican representative. Tucker Carlson is a known conservative. Chris Matthews seems to lean that way overall. There is no mistaking Sean Hannity as an uber-conservative. Even though O'Reilly denies that he is a Republican, his altered status to "independent" doesn't fool me any. What, if Michael Moore changes his status to Republican tomorrow, are we going to buy that? I don't think so.

Kohn ignored the statistics and defended O'Reilly every step of the way, saying that there was nothing wrong with Bill-O's statements, since he was right. He also pointed out that Bill-O spoke to two guests following the statement, one conservative and one liberal. Although, it must be noted that Faux News idea of "balance" would be similar to the world's largest man getting into an ice skating rink. Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes... It was called (at first) the Hannity and to be named show. That shows you how much stock they put in the "liberal" and in actual "balance."

This Bob Kohn kook this got Joe Scarborough laughing rather hysterically with a few of his asinine comments. Kohn started preaching about MSNBC's miniscule ratings in comparison to Faux News and Olbermann's ratings in comparison to the ever so superior Bill O'Lielly. He then claimed that MSNBC was attempting to preach to Faux News on how to run their station and their programs and how ironic it was since Faux has the better ratings. Scarborough turned the tables some and said it was truly ironic how, even though Kohn exclaimed that O'Lielly's show and Faux News, in general, has superior ratings to that of MSNBC, they chose to stock so much of their time by ripping on the "lesser" of the two news stations.

It's also ironic on how Kohn wrote a book on the "liberal-bias" in the media, when he's the one showing a strong, consistent amount of bias. "Liberal nutjob?" I'm not going to label Kohn as anything, but an idiot. Conservative, liberal, moderate, that doesn't enter the equation. He's just an idiot, plain and simple. Way to go, Joe, for standing your ground and allowing Kohn to make a complete fool of himself. It sounded as if you garnered a few good laughs while hosting the show. Believe me, I was laughing quite a bit, as well.
