28. Yes I watch them as much as I can,

Feb 2013

but we are the intelligent party. Those programs need more intelligence.
In that there needs more humor and light hearted parts to the shows. A person gets dragged down without that.
I fell in love with Amy years ago and tried to watch daily and went to truthdig to see her articles there. But after awhile I drifted away and now have to force myself to stay for the entire program. She needs to be silly some times. Thom puts me to sleep.
bottom line: I want a democratic lean in a morning show where I can get some political news so that I don't have to watch tv all day to understand what's going on.

I would even buy Pepsi and the other stuff to get that.
