and I am trying to stay unpolitical here. the other Sunday shows do this, but meet the press is the flagship and their conscious choice to cozy up to the republicans which led to the other shows having mostly republicans has brought down the nation's political iq. they would rather say "BOTH SIDES!" than point the finger at republicans.

all of the Sunday shows are lost causes I'm because none of them ever ask tough questions that hold the political actors responsible.

With the news in my perspective, it generally does terrible of bringing up real questions (I see a much bigger liberal bias than conservative, but that's a different argument). They present a little bit of each sides spin and both often ignore unpleasent truths and thus what we are debating isn't even the real debate, but rather how the parties want to frame it (healthcare for example: there is very strong arguments that neither sides plans do a thing for the real issue which is costs are rising too fast for anyone to pay for and no one suggests plans to deal with that).
