Editorial Board show (which moved to Fox New later, apparently). NPR likewise has been terrible for a while. I noticed how a lot of their shows would have Heritage fellows or other right-wing hacks for “balance.” Last fall I finally cut it off after waking up every morning to hear about how terrible the ACA was and how the IRS was oppressing Conservatives.

Good riddance.
