Yeah, the guys who write his checks, in return for the agenda he pushes, are going to be perfectly ok with him throwing them under the bus in the name of being "unbiased".
He's a fucking clown, makes people laugh for a living. The fact that you take him seriously at all speaks volumes.

I'm just speaking my mind, no need to start getting mad about it. That being said, yeah I do take him seriously. He knows his stuff. Just watch interviews of him outside the show. He doesn't need fact checkers, he's up to date with all his news, and he knows the stances of the candidates. This isn't me saying that he should do it, this is me saying that I believe he would do the job just fine if asked to do the job.

Actually yeah, why would he bring his own brother on the show just because he's affiliated with wall street? It's his brother, there's an obvious conflict of interest there and doing so would be the definition of unprofessional

The Chief Operating Officer of the New York Stock Exchange gets a free pass, just because its his brother? That's totally professional.

He's not "getting a pass". I hate that term because people use it so wrong. If he brought his brother on the show do you think he'd grill him as hard as he would anyone else? No, because they're brothers. That's a conflict of interest, not a easy pass to salvation.
