And did you hear tonight's segment on today's SCOTUS ruling on PBS's Nightly Business Report? If you missed that, it was delivered by none other than (former Pentagon anchor for MSNBC) John Hardwood, who said that today's ruling will likely result in strengthening both parties and supporting more "moderates" in each party. I'm paraphrasing, but that was essentially msg.

That's PBS now.. it's all part "main stream" amirka.
