Midweek Politics is generally considered a progressive/liberal talk radio program, although it rarely falls in line with the traditional liberal positions on many issues, primarily related to Israel and Palestine, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Pakman and Midweek Politics are strong supporters of same-sex marriage a topic which often has become adversarial with guests on the program. Additionally, a strong belief in evolution and a rebuking of literal Bible interpreters who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old have created conflict with guests on the program. Pakman has regularly indicated that the more outrageous, extreme guests are not only interesting to interview, but create the most interest and engagement on behalf of the audience.

Famous quotes containing the word content:

    People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
