Find two college students majoring in production, a well-lit room, and set up a YouTube channel.
College students can keep the production values high.
I am a fan, Thom. Please break ties with RT.

Yes it is.
MSNBC is all we have and it is about as progressive as the reality show is real

I just do not see any legit reason to align w RT.

cause RT?
I want liberal voices on as many YouTube as possible, since the MSM...ie CNN, MSNBC...et all will not show these segments

Been reading Hightower for a long time.
