For the AP phone records thing, the fact that there may actually be a large scale politically motivated cover-up on Benghazi, or using the IRS against his political opponents thing?

MSNBC. Look at what Al Sharpton's discussing. This is what I'm talking about. INstead of going over details of the scandals and its hour by hour changes, he's busy foaming at the mouth in regards to the conservative response. Sharpton is already annoying to begin with, I don't even know why I'm listening.. I guess it's entertaining.

al sharpton's show is fucking terrible. i didn't like ed schultz, but at least he had some sort of goal in his economic populism beyond promoting the D's.

I have always liked you Randy, but you have encapsulated why I always roll my eyes when I hear the typical "liberal media" rant from conservatives. You have already admitted to not listen to news talk radio or reading newspapers and now you are complaining about MSNBC. MSNBC aligned themselves with the left a long time ago. Your consumption of "mainstream media" seems to be fairly limited and focused on a medium not exactly known for quality journalism. If you expanded your media consumption a little you'll find there is plenty of good journalism to be had. The AZ Republic is not the world's worst newspaper and their editorial leanings will be right up your alley.

But really I like to watch shows like Charlie Rose. There's no agenda. He has all kinds of people coming on his program and they just spill their thoughts.

And I like "Morning Joe". Between Fox News, MSNBC, and Anderson Cooper dodging rocks on that other channel, I think it's the big threes only saving grace. Well balanced.

Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer is worth watching.
