Brooks is PBS' idea of "balance."
I often tell the story — I used to listen to NPR. They had EJ Dionne and David Brooks discuss the issues of the day. EJ Dionne was (of course) solidly for Obama. Now, once in a while, Dionne would try to be reasonable and he would allow that (maybe) Obama made a small mistake here or there. Then Brooks would give the Republican perspective. He was ALWAYS more supportive of Obama than Dionne. Obama, in his opinion, seemed to be a living god.
