Do you think there is any chance that a liberal cable news network will emerge?
The political junkies in my life spend their time watching Morning Joe, and watching TDS and Colbert run clips from Fox.

Liberals watch lots of RW media and discuss it, echo it and spread the memes in the name of condemning it but clearly Fox is the center of the cable news universe -- Stephen Colbert's show is a parody of Fox and he makes great points but only about things that Fox puts center stage. TDS is even further inside the shadow of Fox and adds RW guests for the last 10 minutes of the show.

Now that Dems are clearly in the majority and running away, are we going to continue to watch, listen, echo and whine about RW media or are we going to create our own media?

"Current"ly not to good from what I hear & read.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

The other night I was going through the listings for Manbearpig's network. Some of the shows were: The Mormon Candidate, The Evil Bastard: Walmart, Those More Evil Bastards: the Koch Brothers.

I think the show titles were a little bit different, but based on the show descriptions I think my titles would better fit the shows.

If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

I don't think there are enough Dummies to support the BMN (Barking Moonbat News).
Cheetos Ads only go so far.

While I will admit that DUmbshits are as suggestible as the human race comes, Frito-Lay (the maker of Cheetos, for those lurking DUmbshits from Rio Linda) already has that audience fairly well captured.  Waste of good advertising dollars.

Giving CNN a huge gift by calling it just Center-Left to offset Fox's Center-Right, you mean everything else including PBS/NPR isn't enough?  The only way you DU asshats will ever get the kind of raging Commie channel you actually want would be if the Chinese government paid all the bills, but they're too Capitalistic to make such a ridiculous business decision.

They are totally detached from reality....or a great mole.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

They've always got the Russian State TV.  No doubt that lines up with their viewpoints.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Not a chance in hell.

The MSM will never allow it.

The whole idea of the the media being RW is one of the dumbest pieces of 'conventional wisdom' over at the DUmp.  And that's saying something.  If they had their way, no dissent would be tolerated.

What with all the hate and whinning that would be seen on liberal TV, DUmmies would think it was the new "soap Opera" channel.....so yeah, it might work.

You limp noodle! There are plenty of media on your side. You got the Legacy Media. Oh, you also have all the alphabet networks. You got Obama's second term. What a bunch of crybabies!

Hell, during the election, Obama had Nickelodeon, HGTV, FoodNetwork, MTV, and even AMC.  If there were any more liberal channels we'd be Venezuela.
