7. I'd love to see Donahue back.
That said, he's really lost a step or two, and I have a problem with the way the show was conducted on MSNBC. He was fine, but they bent over backward to try and bring conservatives on the show, often having all conservatives who ended up vying with Donahue for the whole show.

I think liberals that manage to get on any medium need to just promote liberal ideas, and stop this insane attempt to be "fair". You will not see fair on right-wing television, and you won't hear it on the radio. They even tell outright lies to promote ideas, and they don't bother to check their facts. With the few liberal shows that are on the air (Olberman, and Air America) I don't think we need to make any pretense. We don't need to lie. Truth is, liberalism has become synonymous with truth in the modern day.
