FoxNews vs. MSNBC

After watching two brief clips online of Keith Olberman and Sean Hannity i had two completely different experiences.

When deciding on which video of Sean Hannity to watch I of course went with the Jerry Springer interview. The interview was getting Springer's take on Obama and the job he has done thus far in his presidency. Hannity was pushing the fact that Obama was failing as a president and Springer was supporting our president. Throughout the conversation Hannity was raising his voice to get his point across. He interrupted Springer multiple times, to the point where Springer had to tell Hannity to let him finish. It also seemed as if Hannity was putting words into Springers mouth which was another thing that I didn't see as being right, especially from a host on a major television show.

Olberman's show wasn't as intense as the Sean Hannity interview but it was a lot more boring as well. Olberman began the segment by just talking, and talking, and talking some more. The weird thing was that as he kept talking, i couldn't figure out where he stood on what he was talking about. Maybe its just me, and not being the most political person ever played a part in that. However while watching Hannity i knew within the first thirty seconds where he stood.

At the end of the day I would rather watch Hannity's show because it was more entertaining, he was yelling and screaming, and had some controversy in his interview which made the show exciting. The funny thing is i didn't agree with anything that Hannity was saying but i was interested throughout. Olberman's show was just too boring for me, plain and simple.
