Why ask a Repub or Dem political strategists their view about their own party? Aren't they always going to lie versus telling the truth?

The reason is laziness.You are correct but since news is just a consumer good like anything else and inviting some party hack is cheap,they come for free,the media prefers them over impartial experts who might take work to get in the studio.
24 hour news cycle and high competition didn't improve the quality

I love watching shows like Meet the Press when Russert has 2 people from the Republican view and 2 people from the Democrat view.
Did you watch it this weekend?
It was great!
Everytime that Republican woman tried to spin things that Carville and the other Dem guy showed how she was wrong.
I think it is great when political pundits try to say 'This is how the average Joe thinks or feels' and then the other guy says "No it isn't"!
It's funny to me how truth can be so subjective!
I just wish more absolute truth was expected and 'the way of it' in Washington!

Unbelievably cheesy. If the hosts have not got adequate dinnerware and utensils for the variety of travellers they have invited, then they could desire to have - invited in basic terms the variety of human beings they could accommodate - offered some greater dinnerware and utensils (they are going to choose them finally besides) or - rented the products they mandatory from a party shop. on the different hand, in the event that they're doing a potluck meal, then asking one guy or woman to convey adequate paper plates for each guy or woman and yet somebody else to convey adequate plastic utensils is a solid thank you to circulate. in basic terms ascertain which you do ask the persons who won't manage to prepare dinner to convey those products.

It really is a good point you are bringing up with your question. I'd rather hear from historians, diplomats, leaders in a given field, or the politicians themselves when a particular subject is being discussed. I think the networks do what you have suggested because it is cheaper to broadcast talking heads....

Loyalists won't lie. They will be selective and careful of what they do say and how they say it.
It's a tight rope they walk while juggling...magic at it's finest.

My biggest problem is the left wing Liberal media. They think it is possible to brainwash me into being a Democrat? Does CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC and MSNBC honestly think I watch that drivel? I don't.

The hosts have to appear to be balanced so they interview hacks from both parties. I prefer it when they interview columnists who are more likely to give their honest opinions.

DEMOCRATS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN TO LIE, JUST LIKE WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT. DEMOCRAT VOTERS ALWAYS THOUGHT BILL CLINTON WAS THE ONE THAT SAVED THE BOSNIAN PEOPLE, AND IT REALLY WAS NOT BILL CLINTON. THE TRUE HERO THAT SAVED THE BOSNIAN PEOPLE WAS (PRESIDENT ALIJA IZETBEGOVIC), IT WAS THIS MAN THE WAS THE HERO FOR BOSNIA. BILL CLINTON PUT TROOPS IN BOSNIA AFTER THE FACT, AND BILL CLINTON KEPT THE TROOPS THEIR EVERY SINCE. BILL CLINTON WHILE PRESIDENT BOMBED CHRISTIAN SERBS ON BEHALF OF TERRORIST GROUP ALBANIAN ORGANIZATION, AND I CAN GO ON AND ON. EVEN BIN LADEN HAD CALLED BILL CLINTON A COWARD AND A WEAK PRESIDENT.
