I not only am glad to hear the other side, I believe that all of us need to hear the other side while they are engaged with progressives (not that she is a progressive, but having conservatives on progressive leaning shows is similarly called out by some on DU). That allows the misstatements to be immediately called out.

And please don't start with trying to posit that the station is filled with some large number of conservatives. In fact, it's much less conservative than the country as a whole. If there were a proportional representation of conservatives, there would be MANY more of them on that station.

MSNBC is now a real news station thanks to many of the changes the last few years. Yes, it has moved rightward, but it still leans progressive. It is now much more interesting and informative, in my opinion.
