I feel a cable show called “mindless rhetoric” featuring these two might be floated soon. Although Nunberg being occupoed elsewhere might oput a bit of a spanner in the works.

“I’m definitely the first person to ever do this, right?” Nunberg asked Tapper during the interview. Actually, he is far from the first. And before proceeding further on this jag, Nunberg might pause to reflect on the case of Susan McDougal, the last witness in a major investigation of a president who went out of her way to defy a special prosecutor wielding a grand-jury subpoena.
Let’s recap for those who don’t recall: McDougal was a figure in the Whitewater investigation of former President Bill Clinton. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr had prosecuted Susan McDougal, along with her former husband, Jim McDougal, for fraud and other charges in connection with the management of a savings-and-loan in Arkansas. After her conviction, Starr sought to call her before a grand jury to testify about the Clintons. She refused to answer questions. He moved to have the court supervising the grand jury hold her in civil contempt—and it did.
McDougal spent 18 months in jail on the contempt charges—the maximum allowed under the contempt statute—as the court sought to compel her testimony.

This is probably very good advice that Sam should be following himself.
Wait...she just said she could smell alcohol on his breath.
I hope they wrap up their interivew then and call his family/friends come to the studio to pick him up.,
Drain the swamp is certainly not a campaign promise that is being kept.

While I think this is true to some extent, genuinely don't think you can draw equivalence on this issue. Annoying the other side isn't the sole (or certainly major) unifying principle on the left the way it (currently) is on the right. The left doesn't have massive media machines (Fox, Breitbart, Infowars) dedicated solely to that enterprise, nor does it run and throw its entire weight behind Presidential candidates for whom that is their measure of success.

deconstructed rep
Jon Stewart's schtick was to make fun of Fox & the rest, he was very funny to be fair. Now that he's gone everyone seems to be doing it: Colbert, Kimmel, Noah, Oliver...except none of them aren't half as funny.
Then you've got the media who have very little positive things to say about views or people associated with conservative politics. It's a big focus for them and their readers.
From my perspective both sides are as bad as each other.

There’s always the outside possibility that there may be (currently) reasons for this other than bias...
