I think Paula Zahn and Oprah.

For me, it's a toss up between Tyra Banks and Rosie O'Donnell.

Of course, I would tap Tyra.

I think Paula Zahn and Oprah.


Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, or Nancy Grace.

Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, or Nancy Grace.

Poll coming.

This is kind of like trying to choose which shit is the filthiest in the toilet bowl.

Edit: So, I chose Dr. Phil.

Colbert should not be anywhere near that list...

Dr. Phil.

Colbert should not be anywhere near that list...

He's a semi-joke option.

Nancy Grace, the vile man hating bitch.

Since she's not listed, Colmes.

What makes a person scummy?

Nancy Fucking Grace. She judged the Duke lacrosse players guilty from the beginning, she may have driven one of her guests to suicide, and she hates my dog. Fucking ****.

*walks on stage to applause*



And the scummiest person on television is...



*drumroll while posters read on in excited anticipation*



Dick Cheney!



*puzzled faces in the crowd*



What? I've seen him on the tee vee!

All of the above.

Instead, I chose to vote for the most useless. Scarborough/Hannity/Colmes are overpaid interviewers, and Colbert's an occasionally-amusing comedian, but I can't think of any real purpose behind Dr. Phil/Oprah/etc., other than to occupy a timeslot.

yeah colbert is pretty hit and miss.

sean hannity got my vote because of name recognition.

Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, or Nancy Grace.

grrr i was going to say pat robertson but dammit, youre right, its

NANCY FUCKING GRACE.

Nancy Grace, the vile man hating bitch.
agree.

since she isn't listed, I really really really don't like Dr. Phil.

never seen O'Reily

agree.
^ What they said. No fucking contest. And I don't even ever get to see her except maybe once a year accidentally in some snippet on the internet or after some US domestic drama when CNN International switches to CNN USA programming.

never seen O'Reily

He's not nearly as bad as the thread title suggests, but he has an air of superiority that drives some over the deep end. And, being the most popular cable news personality in the country, he's attacked endlessly for his opinions, even though both Scarborough and Hannity are probably more conservative by any measure. He lands some really big interviews occasionally, so I've seen a good number of his shows.

This is kind of like trying to choose which shit is the filthiest in the toilet bowl.

Edit: So, I chose Dr. Phil.

Nice imagery! :D

I don't know who most of those people are.

nope...O'Reily still, cant think of anyone else.

Rosie, jeez, this woman is like a little 5 year old who never got spanked, and she needs to be spanked for all the stupid and offensive thing that she said.

All televangelists are a tie. :)

I think Paula Zahn and Oprah.

Why the hell is Nancy Grace not on that poll? :mad:

All televangelists are a tie. :)

Well, insperation. I do believe this person is correct.

Rosie, jeez, this woman is like a little 5 year old who never got spanked, and she needs to be spanked for all the stupid and offensive thing that she said.

Rosie needs to be taken deep into the forest and disemboweled with a wooden cooking spoon to shut her ignorant ass up...and actually I believe all members of the media these days are scum...we need a new major news group that isn't politically biased by we I mean the US..until that time I will get my news from the BBC who doesn't waste my time bashing another news station simply because one is Liberal and one is Conservative..we should listen to what George Washington said and do away with political parties

I think Nancy Grace better not ever show herself on this forum. She'll get herself torn to bits and cause one of the greatest flamefests ever seen.

Heh, I just watched Jon Stewart doing a bit on her coverage of the Duke lacrosse case. Quite horrific. Though I don't watch her show ever, if that is her standard practive than my vote for her is easy.

Two points:

1) The title should read than, not then.
2) You're are asking for the scummiest person on TV, but your poll allows for multiple choices.

Liberality and conservatism have nothing to do with political parties,.and like most things in America, we don't have any major liberal sources of media. We have a conservative one and several less conservative alternatives.
Even Keith Olberman, probably the most far-left pundit we have, hasn't shown himself to be very liberal.

No major Liberal sources of media..do you live under a rock...?...every news station almost with the exception of Fox news is clearly Liberally biased...and Fox is clearly conservatively Biased...I'm using the terms Liberal and Conservative very loosely mind you...but its beyond obvious that most of the media is geared toward the left again with the exception of fox...point last years elections where Fox gave a conservative victory in Ohio while virtually all other media outlets gave a victory towards the left...the BBC is the only news outlet I can find that actually reports news the entire program and doesn't waste my time bashing the opposing stations for having a different point of view

Ann Coulter should be raped to death by a pack of rabid armadillos.

Liberal armadillos

Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson are pretty stupid too, IMO. Both are as irritating to me as O'Reilly.

Dieter Bohlen, no contest!

Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson are pretty stupid too, IMO. Both are as irritating to me as O'Reilly.

i heard glen beck on the radio a few times a few months back. he impressed me as being a disgusting alarmist who was trying to build up listenership by attracting the most extreme anti-moslem people.

i think that at the time he was advocating nuking all moslem countries. or killing all moslems in some other way perhaps.

if i were a radio executive i would not allow anyone on my station who advocated genocide.

No major Liberal sources of media..do you live under a rock...?...every news station almost with the exception of Fox news is clearly Liberally biased

I could ask you the same rock question...

Wait... How could Ann Coulter not be on that list? She is my biggest reaason for supporting abortion!

Oprah.

Whats wrong with her? (granted I don't know that much about her)

Do a little research into Ann Coulter's life. She's satire, courtesy Bill Maher.

Apparently Viacom caught up with YouTube. It's gone.

Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh had his own show for a while I think, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter gets on tv enough, and Alan Colmes for not keelhauling Hannity.

And your poll makes me stupider for having seen it.

EDIT: And Tucker Carlson.

Peter Mansbridge :p...

EDIT: And Tucker Carlson.
I feel like I should know that name....
Incidentally, I voted for Oprah. I hate that evil woman, much more than ann coulter. Ann Coulter is just a bitch, but Opera is a more dangerous, subtle evil. She controls what her demographic reads, thinks, watches... She is just one scaaary woman. Proof:
The oprahnator (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Oprah)

Definitely Sean Hannity.

One thing that resonates with my particularly is when he "debated" Christopher Hitchens about religion, and at the end of the interview once he was gone, decided to say "There is a God".

Fair and balanced indeed. I know, I'm beating a dead horse.

I feel like I should know that name....
Jon Stewart owned him on Crossfire, and in doing so, got the show dropped.

.Opera is a more dangerous, subtle evil. She controls what her demographic reads, thinks, watches... She is just one scaaary woman.

Oprah endorsed The Secret! WHY? Why would anyone do that? Michael Shermer's column (http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&articleID=72C0E84D-E7F2-99DF-3D281803B61E675C&ref=rss)

Of course, Dr. Phoprah would have an even greater power… the field of genitic manipulation must never be allowed learn of this.

Definitely Sean Hannity.

Oh yeah. Isn't he related (through Fox, I mean) to Ann Coulter in some way? Co-assholes or something?

THAT would be a photoshopped Rosie O'Donnell.

You know she looks like that in the morning.

She gets my vote for scummiest. Anyone who believes that 9/11 was a conspiracy planned by Bush is a frigging idiot and anyone who keeps harping about it on national TV is about as scummy as you can possibly get.

Disconnected from reality more than O'Reilly? I think so.

Oh yeah. Isn't he related (through Fox, I mean) to Ann Coulter in some way? Co-assholes or something?
You mean Tucker? No, he has nothing to do with Fox or any conservative figures. The show you may know him from, Crossfire, ran on MSNBC, and he still has a show with them called simply Tucker.

Ah. I don't get Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. Forgive my ignorance. :(

Nancy Fucking Grace. She judged the Duke lacrosse players guilty from the beginning, she may have driven one of her guests to suicide, and she hates my dog. Fucking ****.

That's her usual (indeed, only) MO. Lots of other people do it, too. They think it makes them look tough.

Why are Nancy Grace and any televangelists not on that list? Dr.Phil and Rosie are a tie. Rosie needs to be spanked and Dr.Phil's psychiatric "advice" is all either common knowledge or complete BS.


Stephen Colbert doesn't belong on that list.

Jon Stewart owned him on Crossfire, and in doing so, got the show dropped.
Classic television.
CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery?

STEWART: Absolutely.

CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you...

STEWART: You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.

i voted for every option. tv tends to attract scum, if you go on tv you automatically loose some respect from me.

Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, or Nancy Grace.

100% these three

Whenever he pre-empts the regular schedule... why, none other than George Bush, of course...

...hasn't Ann Coulter been on TV?

Why is Oprah on the list? As far as I know she hasn't done anything particularly negative. In fact, the Oprah I know does mostly positive things, like giving her whole audience cars and stuff.

You know, though it's obvious in hindsight, I never realized that there were mafia hiding in the television industry.

Anyone up for a lynching? :p

Nancy "You are a horrible person, go kill yourself" Grace.

if publicity stunts had any powers of redemption paris hilton would be a saint.

That doesn't explain anything...What did she do in the First Place that would require redemption? Increase awareness about the poor and desolate? Talk about problems we face in this country?

Why does Oprah get such a bad rap? I dislike her a little, but that's because I dislike most rich and wealthy people. As far as I know, she probably hasn't done anything negative enough to warrant any real dissatisfaction...

Might want to add that one lade, Greta van-something to the list. She's not much better than an O'Donnel or Dr. Phil, either, from what I can tell. :p

Wait - when did Paris Hilton do this? :p

Ah, sorry. :)

As for Oprah, she's on t.v. too early in the morning. I can't say I've ever seen her show. I'm either working or sleeping in. I'd probably watch "The Price is Right" if I were up at that hour besides. :p

I think Paula Zahn and Oprah.

Colbert rocks.
I'da fucked him, if Jane Fonda hadn't gotten to him first.

Overall, probably O'Reilly. As bad as Coulter and Hannity are, at least they don't sexually harass their employees.

That being said, I do have to put Tyra down for being the nuttiest. This was the closest I could find, but the original went on for like 4 minutes or so. It was so horrifying I had to stop it prematurely:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym75B0YkZR8&mode=related&search=

Mr.Bandana-and-32-teeth-smile-Silvio-"l'Etat c'est moi"-Berlusconi. Of course.

I don't know any of them personally so I can't say.

It's really amazing how quick this crowd is here to judge people. Must be nice to be on such a high moral horse.

How does Oprah beat Colmes? Oprah may be the all powerful controller of everyone everywhere, but Colmes bends over and takes in the ass from Hannity and whoever else is on the show.

What makes a person scummy?

Washing them with soap instead of detergent?

How can anyone pick Colbert? He's a satirist; a character.

High horses aren't fun.. they eat too much and keep wandering off.

Yes, he's on there as a joke, and most people voting for him are probably either conservatives with little or no sense of humor or people who just feel like voting.

Oprah disgusts me because she beats self-confidence from women and has really bad literary tastes. And she's responsible for Dr. Phil. Rosie is bipolar and opportunistic. The scummiest of all (and thankfully not as popular) is Lou Dobbs, who peddles lies about the world economy on a nightly basis.

That Nancy Grace **** drove one of her guests to suicide and wants to have my dog euthanized. I feel just fine judging her to be a walking shitstain.

well oprah makes money indirectly through publicity stunts disguised as charity. yes, i am a rather cynical person. she might be a very compassionate and giving person. but i prefer to believe she's just very canny, especially considering her vast fortune.

besides, publicly flaunting your charitable donations is rather crass to say the least. and she could afford to give a great deal more.

Who on earth is this O'Reily? First name?

I must say that this one of the most entertaining threads I have read in a very long time.

Here are my contributions.

1. Chris Wallace of Fox Noise- Any man who comes on TV, says his father is mentally ill and needs to be committed is a nasty, steamy bag of liquid crap. All of this because of his father's political stances outside of the business of objective journalism. (His father is Mike Wallace of 60 minutes) He should be stoned in the public square in a properly biblical fashion.

2. Nancy Grace- What an irresponsible, horrific ****. She should be cast into the Mariannas Trench wearing cement overshoes and no diving suit.

3. Michael "Extreme fucking asshat" Savage- His blessedly brief foray into TV displayed a man with a serious case of "Tinydickitis." He should be treated to a "Laredo Rubdown" on hot asphalt by a bunch of my gay bear biker buddies.

4. Dr. Phil- No amount of contempt is enough in my opinion for this quack. First off, he isn't even a Doctor, just a lowlife scumbag with a platform. Second, I hope someone polishes his head with a steel wool pad.

and finally.

Ann Coulter- She should be tied up and forced to listen to John Denver albums until her primitive, reptillian brain runs out of her ears.

~S

Nancy freaking Grace is the scummiest person on television O'reilly included.

Oprah's so called 'publicity stunts' still help people, so why does it matter? How could you considers Oprah scummy? And publically flaunting her charitable donations? Whats wrong with that? She donates to people, she should get some credit for it.

And what mandates her to give more than she already does? Sure, I'd love to see all millionares, billionares, etc. Give at least 60% of what they make back to the poor and working class. But this is America, and in the end they get to decide how much they give back.

Oprah doesn't bad mouth people on a regular basis, she doesn't belittle religious or personal beliefs, and doesn't smeak ill of people. What constitutes that Oprah is scummy?

I happened to see a smidgen of Oprah's show yesterday. She had a psychic who claimed to speak to the dead on. To Oprah's credit, she had the psychic talk to an audience member who was an informed skeptic. The skeptic didn't go along with the cold read and called out the psychic on her vague questions and lack of any answers that weren't easy guesses. That's more than most talk show hosts would do in my opinion.

I don't see why anyone would think she's a scumbag. Seems ok to me, but I don't really watch her show.

As a conservative, Colbert is one of the few shows I watch regularly. He's far better than The Daily Show, I think.

You'll note that the assumption is conservatives without a sense of humor, not conservatives in general.

...I've never seen Oprah beat self-confidence from women...If anything she does the opposite. And what do her literary taste have to do with disliking her? So she doesn't read what you read, so what?

I'd have to say Gary Neville :sniper:

...I've never seen Oprah beat self-confidence from women...If anything she does the opposite. And what do her literary taste have to do with disliking her? So she doesn't read what you read, so what?

Yeah, but she's an utter alarmist. "GTA IS MAKING OUR KIDDIES CRIMINALS!"

...lmao:p, don't think she said that...

What she may have said was that violent video games do have an effect on young children(like most violence does). I am totally against people who think video games are evil, but she may have had some valid points.

And being an Alarmist doesn't make someone scummy. She shouldn't be in the ranks of Paula Zahn and Sean Hannity

She started an opulent school in a poor country for poor black girls. Not poor girls, not poor people, not blacks, not poor blacks, etc, etc. Not to mention that the cost of such this school could've fed hundreds. So, not only is she sexist and racist, she also doesn't help as many people as she could, even with the small fraction of her money she set aside for that project.

Well, the females in that country do need a little more help. I know I felt angry when I first heard about that too, but I got over it. And what's wrong with giving money to poor black girls? If you think prejudice against women is bad over here(US), you wouldn't believe what happens in poor countries.

And that doesn't make her a racist, or a sexist. I doubt there were very many non-blacks around there, and the boys probably already had a school.

But why do people hate Oprah? What possible reason could you have?

Umm...there really is no problem with being opinionated.

I apologize for feeling that it's unjust to select applicants based on race and gender.

i have no problem with you disagreeing with her criteria for those who attend her school. i dont have a problem with you thinking that there are better ways to spend that much money.

those are personal priorities.

i have a problem with you thinking that its UNJUST or SCUMMY to spend money this way. its her money and her priorities. this is only one of many charities that she supports. that she didnt spend this money the way you would have preferred cannot possibly make her scum.

Glen Beck. Smarmy, low rent BillO clone who pretends to report actual news. He annoys the fuck out of me.

Nancy Grace comes in close second, for her automatic crucifixion of the Duke lacrosse players. If she's apologized for calling them filthy names on live TV, I haven't heard it.

if you have to tell people about your charitable giving you are doing it for the wrong reasons. sure, people are still getting helped but that doesn't therefore make you a 'good' person. it's a documented fact that on average the richer a person is the lesser percentage of their total worth they will give away as charitable donations (tax dodges included). i'm not going to look up the particular documents cuz i'm going to bed and i suck at documents searches.

Exactly: People Still Get Helped. It doesn't matter that Oprah televises helping people, as long as they get helped. And it does make you a good person (Or at least it was a good act) because truth be told, most people don't give anything.

And there aren't a lot of rich people giving large amounts of money away. Why single out Oprah and call her 'scummy' because she doesn't give everything. Heres a little tip about rich people: Most of them don't just throw their money away. Thats how they got to be rich.
