5. The complete take-our of 60 Minutes has broken my heart.

Now all I read is "Dems BAD. Repubs GOOOOD".

I just wish progressives like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet would get together and buy a cable network (instead of, for example, invest $3 billion in the merger of an American burger franchise with a Canadian burger franchise), make it free to the people like Murdoch does with Faux News Channel, and then hire politically savvy people from Left {Randi Rhodes and John Fugelsang would be two I'd definitely hire) to Center-Left (Alex Wagner, for example) who are bound to only report the facts with guests who are liberal to center-left to argue them.

I believe such a venture would be successful.
