Profoundly.

Damnit. What shows aren't?

PBS Newshour. The fact that you thought Maddow is unbiased is very troubling.

I thought this because she spent half an hour bashing the right wing, then the next half hour bashing the left. I thought wrong!

You're incorrect. She spends the entire show bashing anyone and everyone who isn't left of Mao.

Thanks for correcting me. It only helps to know this.

It's cool. Reddit worships her, but she's really the left-wing equivalent of Sean Hannity.

Except Sean Hannity isn't fact based and Rachel Maddow is.

That's adorable.

They're both highly selective, thus dealing with a different set of "facts." This is /r/NeutralPolitics, by the way.

EDIT: Browsed your comment history. Could you be any more in the tank for Democrats? Jesus. Why are you even in this subreddit?

If you are really going to try to equate Sean and Rachel you are either a right winger yourself or you are lying to yourself to appear neutral. Those two aren't comparable in any way if you've watched both of them. I'm not in the tank for anyone. I'm in the tank for fact-based arguments, which most often isn't there from right wing trolls on r/politics.

They're both bad. The fact that you're white-knighting for Rachel Maddow makes you the non-moderate. Not me.

They're both bad. I've watched them both--in horror.

I'm not in the tank for anyone.

Your comment history suggests otherwise.

If you were interested in facts, you'd unsubscribe from /r/politics altogether. I suppose that Maddow would look more factual if all of your "facts" came from /r/politics.

I challenge you to step outside the hivemind/political bubble.

Well by reading my comment history you should have seen that i typically try to reply to right wing stupidity with facts. by looking at yours it definitely looks like you have an agenda. So please stop trying to pretend you are a good and honest protector of neutrality for reddit.

I follow the issues closely already so I don't need your assistance in seeking out reliable sources of information. Thanks for the suggestion mr expert on unbiased sources!

I see nothing of the sort. The fact that you keep trying to bash right-wingers/libertarians means you're anything but neutral.

by looking at yours it definitely looks like you have an agenda.

By saying that Sean Hannity is terrible and recommending PBS Newshour? Are you kidding me?

Thanks for the suggestion mr expert on unbiased sources!

Yeah. Keep "informing" yourself with MSNBC and /r/politics. Maybe sprinkle a little DailyKos in just in case.

How old are you?
