I used to enjoy Washington Journal (C-SPAN)

Now, I can barely stand it.

What I like about it: Neutral Moderators, and hearing the Voices of Americans

Lately, I find myself yelling at the callers for being so ignorant/stupid. So many Americans just don't have the ability to think clearly. OK, that is putting it nicely.

Fucking Morons
(seem to have no idea how serious the threat of nuclear war between Russia and the US would be)

I mean, it could be the end of life as we know it. Use your brains, morons.

I don’t think we call the show much. It’d be more fair if the show called people and have a list of both parties and some independents and the moderator calls.

... they have elevated the Republican/Conservative idiot chorus. The truth has only one side.

Boy, just turned it on. My gosh, apparently talking about Ukraine deaths, etc, and caller "asks" about a long list of horrible problems Biden's caused and wants to know why the guest spoke over 5000 words without addressing one. Or something like that. I'm out, of course.
