In reply to the discussion: Do you think there is any chance that a liberal cable news network will emerge? [View all]Cleita
(75,480 posts)46. Air America just couldn't compete with the deep corporate pockets of the Clear Channel
and Premier radio franchise. Even now the lone radio station in my area that used to carry AAR and still does mostly liberal programming is one of the lowest powered station in the county and often hard to hear in various places. It's the first to go down in a storm and the last to be repaired by the corporation that owns it. It's so deliberate in how they are trying to quiet down the liberal programming to be heard by everyone that it's sad. Yet, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck get high signal, crisp stations and sometimes are aired on more than one station in the area. It's so obvious in what is going 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.
