I hardly ever watch the show anymore, but back in the early to mid 80s, The McGlaughlin Group and WFBjr's Crossfire were the ONLY conservative news programs on the tube. Fred Barnes, Mort Kondracke, Tony Blankely and so many other regulars on Fox News got their start on TMG.
As time went on, his personality began to annoy me, and by the early 90s there were more conservative voices, so I slowly drifted away from his program. Nevertheless, I'll still pause for a few minutes and check out what's going on, when I come across his program while flipping through the channels.
That is about the most civil and intelligent discussion of issues on television today.
