I rarely disagree with her anymore. She never ceases to surprise.
I think she is very smart. Smart enough to realize where the money is, for example. She could be another screeching loon like that idiot broad Hannity seems fixated with, or the female version of Beckel, Colmes, or Williams who would argue the sun rises in the west if Obama said so. Instead Powers finds a middle ground that is largely based on common sense and thus differentiates herself as “fair and balanced” to borrow a phrase. Good for her pocketbook, no doubt. What does she believe personally? It’s pretty irrelvant, isn’t it? She’s just a performer. Why, when you’ve got the freedom to write your own script, would you choose to alienate half or more of your audience?
At one time we had a radio talk-show host here in Pittsburgh. He did not do a political show, but he leaned left.
One day he went on a rant about something outrageously stupid that Liberals had done in that day’s news.
He then announced that “although I personally think the country would be better having both points of view represented, THIS is why Liberalism is dying. Because it has become hopelessly and intransigently STUPID!
People can change.
