As far as leaning too far one way or the other in political philosophy, I would be afraid of driving away half the audience.

I agree with you though that I prefer a more even-handed approach to controversial topics. I like to make up my own mind, so to speak. Still, this sounds interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
