I honestly can't believe how any of this is even a suprise: journalists, who vote largely democrat, have a left slant? What a shock! Next you'll tell me businesses are in favor of tax cuts!

I may not be able ,to tell you what exactly what center is, but I can tell you what it is not with a reasonable amount of certianty. The article above is based on a system of rating which is clearly incorrect. If it had said the opposite, I probably wouldn't have believed it either.

They would kill each other in the opening credits trying to get facetime.

It was a great idea. It went south. The value of my proposed show would be similar to the value of Cops or Jerry Springer. Neither of them has any real value, even to their own sides. I, as a lefty, have little respect for Al Franken, and I suspect that you, a righty, have little respect for O'Riley. If my enemy destroys my other enemy, am I not better off than when I had two enemies?
