Is CSPAN available to you online? If you watch it there, the call in people do not represent most of America.
"the call in people do not represent most of America"
Oh, lordy, does that ever need to be pointed out. I watched a coup attempt happen in real time on CSPAN, no commentary. They are great like that for live events, but avoid the call-in shows like the plague.
Alternately, tune-in for the call-in shows. Washington Journal is a fantastic, completely unbiased source of the days news. The crazy viewers (and occasional normal person) can give an unfailingly fresh perspective to all the topics in a way that the cloned talking-head types rarely do.
They're usually aggravating but sometimes hilarious. Not worth the occasional funny.
