We need our own channel.

Our own network. Like Fox has.

The question in my mind is, how have we gone on this long without it? How frickin' long has Fox News been on now? I think we don't have it because nobody would watch MSNBC and CNN if we had it? No?

Take anchors like Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid, from MSNBC and build our own network around them. I'd maybe take Ali Velshi too. Leave the rest of that corporate shit at MSNBC and see how fast it would die with most of its viewers all in exit mode. Add Jeffrey Toobin from CNN. Bring back Keith Olbermann. Perhaps offer Thom Hartmann a gig so he won't have to beg for money anymore on FSTV or resort to RT. I wonder if Shep Smith would want to join. He seems a little out of place at times.

A network of Truth tellers to offset the network of liars, who would relentlessly and unapologetically tell would be voters the truth about the scams the Republicans are perpetrating on them.

Of course, I dream.
