Very slanted.
The problem with this show is the selection of debaters. Instead of modeling civil discourse between two very different points of view (say right v. Left) they consistently choose debaters who are left vs. far left. A great example is the gender pay gap episode. Instead of having the hard debate about whether it exists (which many don’t think it does), they choose two who agree that it exists but disagree on policy. Get more intellectuals from the right on here and I’ll start listening again.

This is a great way for to get versed in hot issues. The format, three intellectuals against three intellectuals sparring with their own arsenal of research makes me feel I can really trust this show. I don't feel led or bombarded by just one bias. This is something America can use more of.Read full review »
