In reply to the discussion: Do you think there is any chance that a liberal cable news network will emerge? [View all]Auntie Bush
(17,528 posts)34. I agree... I used to get Current with an expensive package.
I cut it down to the next lower/cheaper package (not the cheapest) and now I can't get Current anymore! You'd think that smaller channels would be on cheaper packages...yet FOX is ALWAYS an option no matter what package you sign up for. Thank God we at least get MSNBC...although it too has limited service. I think the ReThug Media owners/corporations are participating in bias propaganda. We should ALL call our cable channels and complain and demand more MSNBC and Current channels. It's unfair the Rethugs have a channel that reaches all homes and only limited and more expensive channels reach Progressive homes. Taint fair!

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...".

Air America just couldn't compete with the deep corporate pockets of the Clear Channel

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.
