4. I'm not sure there is any such thing as a neutral voice.
There experts in a lot of fields and topics, but I doubt they would bring them in. Experts would often expose truths that would make politicians look bad. That goes against the mission of these shows. They seem to exist to butter up politicians.

And they also seem to exist to convince people that the hosts are the experts, so they aren't about to bring in real experts to show how much the hosts really don't understand.

:(

So, instead, we have party spokespersons and analysts explaining talking points.
