a Democrat and a Republican in all political discussions? Seems that way on MSNBC. They end up with both sides screaming at each other. I think that started in the Clinton years and then it stopped for a few years, now they are doing it again.

1. Yeah, phony "balance"

with none of the lies challenged.

I gave up on nooz in 2004. I have found no reason to return.

3. I do pretty well online

I always get those Pew questionnaires right.

don't watch it anymore.
