i'm down to watching ko, lo and an occasional cenk but my main source is tds. i also love alex wagner's show and chris hayes' show. i like their panel format which is heavily left but consistently includes opposition party voices . . . unlike the sunday shows which are always heavily right-weighted. donna brazile must be getting tired of being the only lefty on the sunday shows.

my so is kinda fed up with my 'all politics all the time'. i'm cutting back.

otoh, there is a lot of info that would never get out without all of these shows.
