you look at the numbers and you see FAUX has the right locked up. they're not going to cross over to see deniis miller, tucker carlson, or rita cosby, when they have hannity

it's moderates and lefties who aren't watching. that's where any new viewers will come from. the rightwing thing is oversaturated.

that's why donahue was the only msnbc show to ever break the one million mark on a semi-regualr basis. he gave people something they didn't get elsewhere.

1. I don't watch them at all anymore
It's Faux, Faux Lite, and Faux Ultra Lite. Once in a while I will watch Oberlmann, or Ron Jr., but that is about it.

I get REAL news from the Net.

2. I think about that a lot too...
I think they don't go liberal because they don't really want the truth out there. It's safe with a conservative, because they mostly lie for their corporate master. A progressive voice tends to tell the unvarnished truth. Too many things liberals have to say could and would cause a backlash against the way these corporations do business.
