Our local hard right talk station recently spun off another station that is aiming for young viewers with a softer, more subtle repackaging of TeaParty dogma.
They rely on a CBS news feed instead of Fox, like their parent station does.
Same vile Ayn Randian greed and hate-mongering, but it's been dusted with a sprinkling of sugar for the young'uns.
