#4 Politics Sucks. Let's Talk About It! Is there a media bias? DC vs Mainstreet
DeSimone and Higgins tackle the big issue of bias in the media. On the heels of the GOP debate hosted by CNBC is sure looks like it. They cover the dark secret that is American media, compare and contrast Hillary coverage towards Republican coverage and play examples.  Second segment; Have we moved to Washington DC vs. Main Street? What happens with Washington DC gets so out of touch with Main Street? Ask Marie Antionette, and the winner gets free cake. Finally from the live Wake Up Tucson show; does States right matter anymore? Just after the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage the guys debate States right.  For some unknown reason the audio quality on this episode is poor. We've tried to fix it in post production but it's a bit of a pain. We'll get it figured out.
