Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you think there is any chance that a liberal cable news network will emerge? [View all]
The political junkies in my life spend their time watching Morning Joe, and watching TDS and Colbert run clips from Fox.
Liberals watch lots of RW media and discuss it, echo it and spread the memes in the name of condemning it but clearly Fox is the center of the cable news universe -- Stephen Colbert's show is a parody of Fox and he makes great points but only about things that Fox puts center stage. TDS is even further inside the shadow of Fox and adds RW guests for the last 10 minutes of the show.
Now that Dems are clearly in the majority and running away, are we going to continue to watch, listen, echo and whine about RW media or are we going to create our own media?

Current is already out there. More of us should watch. Maybe Ed Schultz will end up on

But isn't the echo chamber created by Fox the very thing that turned all Republicans into idiots?

There is no such thing as "news, without any commentary at all..." The story selection itself

The "filter" is applied before the story get to you. You don't see the stories on TV that TV doesn't

I'm not questioning your sources. But they don't include "news, without any commentary at all...".

I do not want a "liberal" cable station. I want a genuinely fair one

We need a populist network - the people are more interested in that than liberalism, per se.

Free Speech TV is good but it has less distribution than even Current has.
