and they act like both sides are equal even if one is totally lying about something.

at least before they would just report and when they did have people on it was usually those who had some background knowledge and expertise .

now they give WAYYYY too much attention to the undecided idiots . instead of reporting on the issues and informing the public they just get some random dumbasses and ask them some questions . and that completes their "news reporting".
