1. Lets hope they are really fair and balanced.
Hopefully they will presnt all sides of the story and just let we the public decide our stances on issues. An organization like this is way overdue, in my opinion.

2. Well once again I have hope, knowing that facts seem to have a liberal bias
We can always hope. But I fear if they do their job the wingers in Des Moines will be crying and moaning about the 'librul university.'
