We've all talked about this in the past - Why can't our rich people fund a news network for our side? I think it probably hasn't worked (Air America radio, Al Jazeera tv, etc...) & won't work for various reasons. Top of the list (IMO) is that we don't/wouldn't hate listen/watch 24/7 like they do on the reich. My old man would watch MSNBC and Amy Goodman and Thom Hartmann all day and night. Most liberals aren't going to do that. The fox watchers never turn it off. They're rabid. Our side isn't like that.
