Dude! Slow down.

It's The NewsHour on PBS. The don't have any views. They don't do editorial, for the most part, unless you consider their "essays" which are hardly ever about anything controversial.

I've watched it or recorded it nearly every day for most of my life.

But hey. Feel free to dismiss it while admittedly knowing nothing about it. :-|
