    MPS is a liberal who acts like he doesn’t pick a side. However he is always taking shots at conservatives. He is on my radio station and his show is ok. I will however give him credit for giving time to conservative representatives in Michigan and covers them fairly when they are on. I dislike when people pretend to be non biased then are blatantly biased

    The guy has his boyfriend on the radio oc... more
