Question: I notice on the cable news sites, (TV) the guests are predominantly ReThugs.

I assume it's because they're having their convention right now, so that's who they're booking. At least I hope that's the case. My question: When Democrats start their convention can we expect the line-ups, pundits and guests to be dominated by Democrats? Man, it will be such a welcome relief!

Remember the run up to the shameful war on Iraq? They had NOTHING but Repigs spouting their lies, week after week after week.

I know it's in media's best interest ($$) to feign a close race for viewership (2012 comes to mind) but I don't know how much more bullshit and blatant lies I can take. But I'm kinda a political junkie and I can't turn it off!

Even National Public Radio tends to have a Republican on to discuss any major issue.

Every issue has horrible, altered photos of Hillary with several articles about how she is losing her mind, taking pills, gained 40 lbs, calls her staff at 3 am screaming, is threatening her political enemies....then they have a photo of drumpf with a weak smile and waving saying he's gaining ground. I flipped through a few of them while waiting to get my hair cut.
