Far Left, Left, and Center-Right
This podcast makes a mockery of balanced political debate. It's just about as "Fair and Balanced" as Bill O'Reilly. Generally, lefties Huffington and especially Scheer resort to vitriolic diatribes several times per show. Blankley usually can't advocate his views well either: As Scheer thrashes the right, Blankley usually responds by joking around with Miller. Host Miller does a good time balancing time between the three, but as its always two to one, he isn't balanced overall. Supposedly, Huffington qualifies as being from the "Fourth-Demension" of politics, but this just euphemistically calling her a socialist. This show might become decent if they brought on another speaker, perhaps a libertarian to counter Huffingtons' socialist views. In its current form, however, it's not very useful. Almost all shows focus on Iraq; even when the topic is different, Scheer and Huffington still manage to turn it into an Iraq debate. As they've already beat this horse to death a thousand times, there's really no point in listening to their only half-rational rants.Read full review »

The "Center" of this show is probably 75% Left and 25% right, and there are also two representitives of the "Left" (Huffington and Scheer) as opposed to one on the "Right" (Blankely). It is, however, a good show and very worth listening to, though the title should be...Read full review »
