I had no interest in that. I pointed out that most media outlets claim to be balanced, but aren't, and are pulled right because they're afraid of being pegged as left. But on a deeper level, I think we're just right . They kill programs that do demonstrable good, they promote bills that do demonstrable harm, they prey on liberals' propensity for self-questioning by launching hypocritical attacks.
