Which journalist would you nominate as a 'dick'.

[Ebsy]

Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Lawrence O'Donnell, just about every member of the WH Press Pool, etc.

Jon Stewart isn't a journalist, he's a comedian, so he basically is paid to be a dick as it is pretty funny.

Oh here's one tool that nobody has mentioned: Perez Hilton.

I find non-political journalists often far More likely to be bloodsucking parasites than the political hacks

So is Bill Maher for the same rational.

I agree with that, but I am not saying Bill Maher is a journalist or even a political commentator. He's a comedian, and has no expertise in political science or related fields, so his analysis isn't serious.

Chris Matthews is up there.

Chris Matthews is up there.

Chris Matthews is only like the 3rd or 4th biggest dick on MSNBC.

Bill O'Reilly, wife beating scumbag.

Bill O'Reilly, wife beating scumbag.

I hadn't heard about this, so I looked it up. It appears to be based on his daughter's recollection of a specific event from 4 years prior when she was 11. Her recollection could be true, but it's important to keep in mind her recollection also could be completely wrong. That doesn't mean she's lying, rather that memory is very unreliable. Consider that earlier this month a reporter believed he saw a man get shot when in fact no one was shot.

Moreover, what we're actually hearing is a psychologist's recollection & interpretation of what he believes she told him.

If he did that then yeah, that's horrible. Maybe you give custody to the mother to be on the safe side. But it hardly seems something to hang a man's reputation on, given the uncertainty (that I have at least).

Chuck Todd. I hate his stupid face.

He's really the worst.

The heck is you guys' beef with Chuck Todd? He seems likable to me and is always very polite any time I've seen him. He's very knowledgeable of politics and especially local election dynamics, at least as good as any of the map experts here.

He was very good but the last years he seems to have developed a weird grudge against Obama.

He's turned into the poster child for bad beltway reporting. You can Google the dozen or so concern-trolling comments he made during the 2012 presidential race. I remember one saying Obama was in trouble because Romney voters were much more enthusiastic.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity are the perfect examples of the first.

They're journalists?

He'd fit right in on Atlas with the baseless "nobody is enthusiastic about Hillary" comments.

Lawrence O'Donnell, Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, Ed Schultz, Larry Kudlow, Sean Hannity, Geraldo Reviera, Piers Morgan, and that's just off the top of my head. 

At the end of the day, however, the biggest dick of all journalists has to be Chris Cuomo.
