RT, MSNBC and Progressive Ideas
RT puts people like Alex Jones, a rw lunatic, on their news, what a disgrace. The Alyona Show has libertarians on constantly, and she claims to be a liberal. They are obviously part of her target audience, a big disappointment. I exclude one person Thom Hartman, he is the sole consistent patriotic American progressive I have seen on RT. I thought RT was liberal and slightly socialist. I have not seen this, MSNBC is more liberal for sure, with O'Donnell not afraid to say he is a socialist with a small s, but he comes on late at night when I'm nearly asleep. MSNBC in the mornings is a whole different animal, with republican talking points and framing/spin coming from their obnoxious morning hosts. Why the weird political game on that network, and why is RT leaning ultraconservative? I don't know about Current, but I'm not too impressed with what I've seen. Progressives get small bones tossed on MSNBC, and it seems not much else, except Current but Cenk Uygur is the only one left there and he is a bit too business friendly for my taste. Some sad observations on the meager offerings we progressives get on television here in 2012. The internet, as it has been for years, is still the only major way for us to spread our message and change the nation effectively.
