Sorry, I forgot that he had passed.

And to carry on a little farther. I think such programming would be interesting, and a real service to the country if they invited people from the right who were not insane, and had a civilized exchange of views. I could even stomach people like Dick Cheney and John Bolton, even Jamie Dimon, as long as there was a balance in the panel where people would be allowed to do fact-checking and challenge the fringiest ideas -- both right and left. The idea here would be to build that programming up to where it was seen as a legit discussion with the people, as opposed to the Sunday Press the Meat fare, which is all about big corporations and defense contractors pushing their agenda in a truly Beltway-only club.

If they could get this going, others would want to be included, and the network would have to hold firm with a "sane people only" sign on the door.
