Anyone looking for facts--or even rational criticism--need to seek elsewhere (and likely already do).

Sure, maybe I phrased it wrong. I know these shows are just opinion factories. I wouldn't have a problem with them if the opinions presented had their roots in facts, and in things that were true. Hell, even them spinning the truth, and framing debates in a irrational way, I don't mind. But this kind of rhetoric can lead to violence and death, very quickly.
