I'm old as dirt and cut my political chops on the original Crossfire, two competing views every night.
I too remember crossfire.
If you want to hear opposing views without shouting try Brett Baier at 6 PM on Fox just make sure nobody sees you with your TV tuned to FOX 
No shit here: this VERY literally made me . . .
But I'm left wondering how you got to that from the fact that CNN refuses to cover anything that might give Trump anything of value.
I mentioned it here before, and you might recall; when I heard Wolff Blitzer say, and I quote "It's fun to speculate", that put me off after setting me back. Nineteen, twenty maybe, at the time. I knew what speculation was. I liked, and still do like, watching legal dramas. I don't like CNN. I'll go on record here and now and say I lend more credence to MSNBC. So you can stop thinking I am a CNN devotee. Although I do check in between commercials.
Did you catch the Project Veritas special ( what am I saying, of course you didn't because it was on Fox news ) when a CNN staffer secretly recorded Jeff Zukerberg literally telling his "journalist" to keep pushing stories on impeachment and only impeachment, wall to wall and don't you dare report anything that would be seen as helpful to Trump.

As I stated, I have now talked to 3 Democrat friends who keep up with news from CNN and MSNBC and none of them had any idea of who Klinesmith was or what he did and had no idea of the scathing report Horowitz delivered against Comey and the FBI, NONE.

Still, I remember Hannity and Colmes had a debate about the UPS labor union contract. The fact that I kind of understood them at fourteen, fifteen or even younger, help me find my current political resting place.
Finest exchange I every heard was between Daniel Moynihan and William F. Buckley on Firing Line.
I quit watching CNN when CNN refused to cover the wrong doing at ACORN, just like they refused to cover Graham at the FISA hearing.
CNN is following hildebeest's maxim of keeping their followers ignorant.

But Rankster (I see that as a term of endearment), you stirred something in me when you brought up Senator Moynihan. I most definitely remember him. His accent. A classic liberal. An old fashioned liberal. When Warren Beatty was on Meet the Press many many years ago with Tim Russert, Tim called him an old fashioned liberal. Beatty corrected him and said, "Just old fashioned."
I very much new of Bill Buckley. As much as I respected Bill Buckley, I knew I wasn't on his side. I wrote a little piece on him while at the Junior College after high school. Just to finish, I had a videography of Hugh Hefner where Buckley says of Playboy: "It's a classy editorial." That was my side.
