Happy Valentine’s Day! We love our viewers, and as we mark our 50th anniversary, they’re sharing why they love the show. Mary Ellen says she loves Washington Week because "it gives me the best news I can get about politics." So why do you love Washington Week?

Washington Week turns 50 next week! All this month we’ll be sharing reasons longtime Washington Week viewers keep watching. Kathy told us she watches because of the intelligent, responsible and respectful conversations. “I like the fact that it's done intelligently, and people don't yell each other down,” she said in line for the Washington Week roadshow in Cleveland last July.
