17. Unfortunately, they do make money from the prison shit

I'm sure those prisoners are not paid for their "content", and the production value is minimal.

Lots of the footage is probably re-used/re-aired over & over for pretty much no cost.

It fills the airtime during times when their regular people have their downtime.

I would LOVE to have more liberal voices filling that time, but it costs money.

They do have a brilliant "bench" of contributors who should have their own shows, and maybe someday, will.

Some of the ones who deserve a "show":

Howard Fineman
Jonathon Capehart
Eugene Robinson
Chrystia Freeland
John Heilman
Jeffrey Sachs
& the guy with the charts (name escapes me now)
