Liberals Want Their Own Network
A group of progressive media activists covering the Democratic National Convention in Boston plans to launch a new television network to counter the conservative news coverage they see on Fox News and CNN.

The group includes one of the producers of the Clinton documentary, The Hunting of the President, and the author of a book about corporate influence on politics, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: The Truth About Corporate Cons, Globalization and High-Finance Fraudsters. Also on board are a veteran record producer, multimedia producers for the Democratic Party's website, leftist bloggers and the former head of the Dean Media Team Network, which produced online ads for the Howard Dean presidential campaign.

"They will have to persuade companies like Cox Communications to carry them, and that won't happen if Cox doesn't like the product," he said. "I think Al Gore may have an easier time with the cable companies than they will."

This shouldn't be too much to ask :mad:
