20. you may be right about his needing to slow down

I'm watching the rerun of his show right now and I am learning a lot about the so-called "Obamacare bailout" that's easy to understand and would be easy to repeat in a discussion with a Fox viewer if I were ever unlucky enough to have one. I was just thinking before I saw your post about how nice it is to get specific factsthat refute Fox (and that reflect reality) rather than the mealymouthed, "even handed" news from the other three or four news channels. (I would also trust Al Jazeera's reporting.)

So I think Chris Hayes' show is really valuable, and I love his enthusiasm... but I think you're right, it would probably be a good thing if he were to slow down a notch.
