Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Nancy Grace America's least favorite news personalities_The right-wing has a number of pseudo-newscasters who slant the news and sometimes outright lie to push their political agenda. They are disgusting. But I believe there is one right-wing purveyor of hate and intolerance that is much worse than any of the others. Rush Limbaugh has resided in the bigotry gutter so long it should carry his name forever. And it looks like I am not alone in that opinion.

The Harris Poll did a survey to find out who the most and least respected news personalities were in the United States. Rush Limbaugh won the crown for least respected hands down -- no one else was even close. This was so in 2008 (when 42% named him least respected) and is still true in 2012 when an even higher percentage (46%) labeled him that way. The poll was done between January 16th and 23rd of 2,016 people nationwide. Here are the numbers of the top three, both for least and most respected,Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Nancy Grace America's Least Fvorite News Personalities---- In a list of 26 current affairs personalities, America's least favorite news personalities are radio host Rush Limbaugh (46%), Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly (31%) and CNN’s Nancy Grace (23%).

A new Harris Interactive poll has done this ranks top-rated. But more interestingly, Limbaugh is universally disliked.

He is the only person whom Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike chose as among their top three their least favorite people.

Harris said that sometimes a news personality is supposed to just provide the news such as the anchors of the three network newscasts and some of the cable shows.

The Harris poll was conducted online within the U.S. between Jan. 16 and Jan. 23, 2012, among 2,016 adults.

Topping the favorite list is ABC’s Diane Sawyer, CNN’s Anderson Cooper NBC’s Brian Williams. The Wenzel poll last summer found that Americans believed Williams was America’s most influential anchor.
