Left right curiosity

I just wondered, for those of you guys are the hard left or even the soft left, are there actually pundits who are reasonable? At least most of the time?

Ben shapiro tucker carlson bill o'reilly all seem like pretty smart guys and don't often disagree too far from the way I see things.

Rachel maddow, chris matthews, lawrence o'donnell, whoopi goldberg, et cetera et cetera, really seem over the top in the field of lunacy.

Is there anybody in the democrat party, or even just anti write wang, who is center left? Not just rabid trump haters? I used to think that Joe Scarborough was one, but it seems that MSNBC has set him down in a corner, had told him at that middle of the road shit doesn't support the brand.

From the framing of your post you're already clearly coming at this from a biased angle. Where your view on everything is already screwed right. Where someone center or slightly left of center is seen as a fringe leftist. 

Also, I don't think anyone here is a hardcore leftist. The fact that anyone might even think that just speaks to my statement in the first paragraph. 

I'm not sure who would be the left-wing Tucker, Shapiro, etc. Generally, the right wing grift is stronger and more profitable

No, there is no hitler and no Pinochet on the board. I'm looking for a pundit, slightly left slightly right center.....

They've been off the air forever, but america overnight seemed to cross the bridge on occasion.

They’re all dead.

One still alive but not visible much these days is George Will. Once a staunch Conservative has moved more to the center, even slightly left.

Bill Maher! More and more approaching the center.

Doesnt give a fuck about liberal sphincters tightening up over his visit to the White House.

Woody, you should watch this. Maybe it will help to rethink your warped view of Trump.

I can live with lefty or righty shows that have the right format.  The host becomes less important when it's done correctly.

I think Face the Nation or shows that give interviews to anyone (but more specifically public officials) and allow the guest to finish a point without interruption, have value even when I don't like the questions or opinions.

All opinion based shows suck no matter what side they are promoting.  There is a reason people love Joe Rogan's show and it has nothing to do with his insight on a particular topic.

For example, I thought the Fox version of Tucker Carlson was too over the top antagonistic, but I think his Joe Rogan style show is good stuff.  Just a simple change in format made all the difference. 

If Cenk Uygur could act like a normal human being for longer than 5 minutes and interview someone that doesn't want to kill every jew on the planet, I'd probably give it a shot.  

But if I had to name an opinion based show that has a "more moderate" host it would have to be Part of the Problem with Dave Smith.

Facts and the truth matters.

I think the right does a decent job of this while not comparing it to the lefty sites. I think when you see them start to cite strong opinions or such it's more of a reaction to how not only left news behaves but democrats in general. They are forced to respond. Though I haven't watched much news lately other than NBC mostly, and even that's not often.

The left, continually pushes their narrative and constantly forces the viewer on how they should perceive things. It's really not about different opinions, that's going too easy on the left. They lie and cover things up in an overall attempt to keep pushing their narrative. Some are worse than others.

What I would love to see is a simple unbiased 10-20-40 question questionnaire on US and world geopolitical stances that would tell you from 9 to 3 o clock where you are on your political views..

I was really glad to see Steve start this thread. I was hoping he was ok.

I think I did find him out on the street, down and out, but he still held his head up high,

and sang with heart.
