Where the men are like men, and the women are too

This is a great show. McLaughlin is an intelligent host and very good at stirring debate. The guests are well known and have very insightful regarding whatever questions John McLaughlin asks them. We get a fair representation of the issue and a fairly deep understanding of it. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in news.
