After being thoroughly fed up w/ the level of discourse presented on domestic networks, I've been watching a ton of foreign news supplemented with Press TV & Vice, and it's fairly astonishing at just how polarized and dumbed down our news programs are. Face The Nation is an absolute atrocity now.

I do think Real Time w/ Maher is markedly more dynamic than any other political show in the U.S., simply because it's the only show which features competitive, open, and unapologetic exchange amongst a (usually) engaging/insightful panel.
