1. We don't have a Fox News

We have just another corporate news channel that almost by accident has a few good shows (Maddow, Lawrence).

they are not your 'liberal' alternative...they simply want to make money off the precentage of the population that won't watch FOX.

5. If there was a lefty Fox network nobody would watch CNN or MSNBC.

And since everybody who is right wing is watching Fox I don't see the point of MSNBC/CNN putting on Hugh Hewitt, Matt Schlapp or other well known right wing spewers.

7. This is what bothers me about DU

Do we really want an echo chamber like Fox News? Is it harmful to hear viewpoints from the other side?
MSNBC is 90% liberal points of view. Why are some people threatened by the occasional wing nut being used as a counterweight in a discussion?

Hugh Hewitt is right wing drivel. With him and certain others you already know what is coming before he opens his mouth.

I can't stand his voice. The few times I'm seen on someone else's show (since his got cancelled) I have to put the TV on
moot or fast forward.

That being said, he’s a jackoff of the first order: he’d be a great Nazi if he’d have been in Germany
