This is insanity.
However, I'm surprised that the MSM in the US hasn't already adopted this attitude publicly, too. I'm sure it's coming.
BTW, do they give conservatives the same airtime as liberals?
At election time, for example, the media, if I recall my electoral law correctly, must give the main parties (Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat) equal broadcast time.
I am unsure if this applies outside election time, but even so, I find political coverage, in terms of air time to be fairly balanced, which is more than can be said for many of the interviewers providing that coverage.
