If one sides media shills indulge utterly brazen partisanship and naked bias, the solution is an unbiased nonpartisan alternative, not compounding the problem with equally brazen partisanship and bias from the other side. Putting Louis Farrakhan and David Duke on to scream at each other is not fair and only nominally balanced; more importantly, it is toxic to any constructive discussion. Mixing equal quantities of matter and antimatter produces nothing but carnage, though a great deal of that. Great for ratings, horrible for effective policy making, which explains the past generation or two of US government (and I use the word loosely.)

This is not a war on Catholics, it is Obama being an idiot again.
