He refers to the Democrats as "the party of slavery", it's not reeeaaally "as balanced as it gets" is it? :joker:

One show - even a show with a huge viewership - isn't enough to risk things like people boycotting the channel en masse, or more likely (and even worse for them), people boycotting the companies that...
