Probably the only time I'll agree with Sirota...

1. If you invest that $50 million you could run such a newsroom indefinitely. Probably do lot more too.

2. I am surprised to see this posted here.

Seems to be a right wing talking point. But what the hell do I know.

4. I think it's just an economics cost-benefit analysis.

Imagine if that money had gone to one of the senate candidates in a tight race, like Harrison in SC.

Although, I'm no fan of Sirota, BTW.

7. How is that a right wing talking point?

3. Still bleating over that?

5. I thought the latest polls

had Amy McGrath and McConnell pretty evenly matched?

8. McConnell + 7, McConnell +15, McConnell +12

9. So...

Who said a "$5-million-a-year newsroom" is worth a damn.

That doesn't sound like nearly enough money to run a professional TV operation. Nevermind the capital cost to get one up and running.

That wouldn't pay for one name brand anchor.

What's really the point of this other than to shit on the Democrats trying to expand the playing field?
