...all of the talking heads on that show certainly make no secret of which way they lean politically.
They're entertainers not journalists (I don't really count newsreaders as jounos, though I know it's a debatable point) and most entertainment people are left wing. The trouble is when they try to market the show as a serious journalistic endeavour because none of them have the interviewing skills or do the background research to make it so.

I watch the 7pm project intermittently and it's not bad when it sticks to light and fluffy stories about movies, celebutards, sport and similar. However, when it comes to politics, science or anything serious the presenters are so far out of their depth that the produceers probably have a decompression chamber stashed out the back somewhere.
