1. Another right-wing shill trying desperately to push the "They're both equally bad," narrative.

What a load of BS, if a person honestly thinks Clinton is just as bad, or worse than Trump then they have a VERY warped sense of morality period. That's not bias. That's not being a party lackey. That's a FACT.

Those leaning Democratic seemed a bit uninformed and looked like the stereotyped liberal image conjured up by Right-wingers. Those leaning Republican were well dressed and well groomed. There was lots of "they're both equally to blame for creating this environment" talk. The false equivalence fallacy.

Luntz does not like Trump, but it helps his agenda if America looks hopelessly deadlocked. That allows for the perception that "grown ups" like Luntz and other establishment Republicans need to take control.

He played 60 Minutes it seems or they are in on it.

After last week's BS cannabis story for example and now this, obviously it's about trying to control a narrative. A mind control if you will in which the TV media is professional at while in service to their corporate ma$ter$.

60 Minutes has gone so far downhill I wonder why I watch it.
