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 »

I am a conservative who likes to hear all sides and good debate. However, other than Tony Blankley all the others are solidly to the left. Miller occassionally plays it down the middle, but that is usually not the case. On most occassions it is 3 vs. 1 and that bores me.Read full review »

A must have for political news junkies. This is far and away my favorite news/politics podcast. Some of us are sick to the teeth of slanted news, and this podcast offers us a nice alternative. It's challenging without being condescending or rude. The panelists go around the table on the...Read full review »
