A lot of people posted the Colbert clip where the CNN anchor got laughed at for being called impartial.
The same anchor later went on Bill Maher and started talking about Democrat anchors and Republican anchors and how there's representation of "both sides"
I don't want Democrats, I don't want Republicans. I want critical thinkers who are seeking truth.
The Republicans are wrong on things, and the Democrats are right on things, and vice versa. If a newscaster can't put aside their religious fervor for the party they want to vote for and report accurately and analyze honestly then they shouldn't have the job, regardless of their party.

@sj_zero The idea of giving no quarter to "enemies" and their viewpoints isn't new, but it's certainly pervasive. I think it's why podcasting and alt media is so much more popular with younger people. I'd rather get a nuanced take that recognizes good or bad within any system instead of fellating things for partisanship.
