I like a lot of what he says, but he sure seems like he's more interested in driving an agenda of liberals are loons, than he is of being balanced.

I agree, Bick. The guy cracks me up how he can look at people he is interviewing with a facial expression that makes it evident that what are saying to him is completely insane
Admittedly I don't watch TV enough to be a legitimate critic. I like him more than the guy he replaced but I am really sick to death of the zero sum, left versus right hand grenade fights.......Luca

Not a TV news watcher either. Just see some bits from the Google news feed.
Hand grenade fights - best analogy I've read. Cat fights are long gone. We're in attack your mother mode now that is leading to physical violence. It's really the impetus behind starting this forum. I'm looking forward to being able to simply disagree without the need to want to reach thru the screen and choke the guy who just called me an idiot.

I watch him all the time, and agree with him on most things. But his show is hard to watch, because he picks the most outrageous guests...so outrageous that they probably embarrass most of the people and causes that they claim to represent.

Good to find a welcoming home on the new board. Thank you, Bick!
I watch Tucker a couple of times a week; Hannity most nights; Laura Ingraham if I'm up later. Tucker's recent book "Ship of Fools" is a good easy read. I think he has been radicalized--perhaps too strong a term--by the hard left turn by the Democrats and their crazed reaction, along with the media, to the Presidency of Donald Trump. I do appreciate the way he is pulls no punches in calling out the craziness of the Left and the way that elites across both parties have insulated themselves from the effects of their policies, effectively abandoning any concern for the health of families and local community life.
Seeing how the media and the Left is hell bent on demonizing anyone who doesn't agree with them, perhaps this is not the time for balance. I may be wrong, but it seems that niceness got us respectable losses by John McCain and Mitt Romney, and a one-party State in California. After Brett Kavanaugh and now Covington Catholic, we need to have eyes wide open.

I've got no issue with tough questioning - of either party. But once you cross over into obvious partisanship, you lose credibility. I think Levin does the same thing at times. While he's not a talk show guy, I absolutely love Thomas Sowell's takes. In addition to his views on Economics, his perspective as a former liberal ring true for me. This one echoes something Luca just said: Thomas Sowell Twitter |

Good morning everybody. Will this board be a liberal-free board? I read enough of liberal gibberish on face book, however at least they have their names out in the public domain unlike the cowards on the OC board. Speaking of cuckoo liberals, what happened to Parrot Paul? Speaking of Covington Catholic, what a fiasco! More black ( I don't mean to be racist...LOL) eyes for the media.

Hello Coach - welcome aboard. Even though the name of the forum reads "Non-Liberal", opposing opinions on the topics are certainly welcome and encouraged. The name calling stuff - not so much. An example would be, I don't like a lot of things Trump says and does. But constant ridicule of him, or anyone who supports him...not welcome. Same would apply to those public figures on the left. Not looking for this to become a right-wing echo chamber. There are plenty of other venues to exercise that activity if that option appeals to you.
Kinda figuring it out as we go.

He brings on the worst liberals and I start to yell at the TV. Yeah, that was my reaction to him also. I usually agree with him, but those guests, I always have to make sure I have nothing in my hand to throw at the TV.  |

Tucker's on fire. I watch him every night at dinner. Hannity is the one who tires me out.

Gutfeld can be really funny and sarcastic one night, and the next night not as good. I still enjoy him.
