I'm with Wayne on this one. Ann Coulter is to conservatives what Bill Maher is to liberals. The reporting of both is driven by an anti (Democrat / Republican) agenda rather than a desire for accuracy and objectivity. While there's often a kernel or truth to their reporting, both spin the facts very loosely and selectively to support their goal of discrediting the other side. Ditto Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore.
The most supportive fans of these people are Americans who view themselves as patriotic, lean heavily to the right or to the left, and who don't want unbiased reporting; they want somebody to tell stories that support their beliefs, and they really like it when the story is told in a provocative and insulting way.
If you want to hear that John Edwards is a faggot, or that George W Bush intentionally lied about the WMD's, you'll like this kind of reporting. Pick your poison.
