I like the show “The Cycle”. Their ratings are not that good. I am middle of the Road on my political perspectives. The journalism being done on that show
has convinced to vote for The President. The deception on Mr. Romney’s attempt to fool the American people is off the charts. Krystal Ball does a great job of honestly exploiting Mr. Romney’s sly behavior. I am not rich but I am convinced that Mr. Romney does not give one damn about the middle class. I went to my facebook account and delivered that point of view on my front page. I am 62 and I am aware of what a Romney Presidency could do to folks like me who are retired. His smugness drives me up a ladder. I wish more people would dig into the show. They are balanced in their approach. Some of the team are a little wet behind the ears but they are honest and I am glad that NBC does a good job of vetting their employees. Keep up the good work.
