Slate has had a podcast which in the primary season was a pretty good indication of lefty thinking. They showed a bias toward Obama. But after the primary season they are increasingly so devoted to proving that Obama is a messiah that their commentary has lost interest for me. Any small error of Obama is ignored. Any small error of McCain is amplified. Ultimately, if I wanted my media to reinforce my positions I would stick with Slate - if I wanted to understand what is going on in the election - this would not be a place I would go.
This could be one of the most important elections in recent history - but the Political Gabfest offers people little besides reinforcement of their previously held beliefs. For me, that is useless.

What's the name of the podcast?
Slate has two podcasts on election issues the one I am talking about is called the Political Gabfest - which I mentioned and now have highlighted on the original post. Sorry that was not clear.
