>I don't think they need to screen the audiences. After all, would you ever go to a taping for Oprah, the View, Maher, et al? I wouldn't.
You kiddin' me? On Oprah the audience *gets stuff* !!! I personally am going to vote for whatever politician promises me stuff - especially money - or a chicken - or pot ... ( ok, I'm kidding about the chicken ... )

>>>Good point. For the most part, Fox balances commentators. CNN....ehhh...not so much but they try. The View, Bill Maher, and the like do a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio and shout down the discussion. Olbermann only brings in yes men. Liberals only succeed in winning arguments when they can gang up on others.

>>And the shows like Oprah, the View, Maher, etc. also must screen the audience, or maybe that's just the type people who go to their shows. Then again, they could be overflow from Jerry Springer....

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
