Who is doing the best job of covering the "scandals" without engaging in hysteria and hyperbole?

I think Al Sharpton and Lawrence O'Donnell are doing a phenomenal job! I missed Rachel and Chris Hayes tonight, but I heard that Chris H. is doing a good job too.

very thorough, and Dan Rather provided more perspective.

Haven't seen Rev. Al. Chris did a good job, so much happening his ability to talk fast appreciated.

did a great job. I think by the time the smoke clears, the DOJ will likely be vindicated on the AP matter. Julian gave the history of how the investigation came about. Congress thought the administration was leaking state secrets to paint Obama in a favorable national security light for the election, sorta like Benghazi, so they went to the Senate floor to demand an investigation to find the leaker, and take appropriate action.

As usual, this is all about stopping Obama's real agenda. The pukes love it cause they don't have to deal with real pocketbook issues and they can raise money. The lazy media loves it because a juicy "scandal" writes itself.
