I remember when he was asked in an interview what he thought of the punditry and the 24-hr news, he said it was like watching pro wrestling. You know what side someone is advocating for without even having to watch it. There's Lefties, Righties, and the "shocked" commentators when one guy pulls out the metal folding chair (my metaphor).

I can't watch any of it, including msnbc anymore. Life's too short.
