11. Logic proved, people want entertainment
not necessarily RW hate radio with snide partisan lying. Our side is simply cleaner and more truthful entertainment. I know may people in our moderate to liberal area tuning in to outrageous talk shows because they are somewhat entertaining but mainly they have no other choices. They start being loyal to the local troll host. Weeds grow in vacant lots.

However, not to go easy on the liberal thing out of guilt or anything, but.... we can reach more people where they are by offering simple comedy along the lines of Jon Stewart and less partisan warfare. The people are not really tuning in for the political dialectic though they can start allying themselves to attached ideologies if it is essentially there.

So far: truth is better, good people and smart people and more professional people can do the job better. Competition is good. Etc.

If only we could get the main network fare back on the road to fairness.
