I watched O'Reilly for a while, Keith Olbermann as well. Both just made me angry at the other side, making me forget that there are good, well-meaning people on both sides of the spectrum. I don't think that contributes much to the national dialogue.
There's a podcast I listen to called Left, Right & Center that is sort of like CNN's old Crossfire but it doesn't devolve into shouting matches. It hasn't been as good since their resident righty Tony Blankley passed away a few months ago but I still enjoy it.
