But she is selling to a specific audience that's is targeted by corporate MSM. For instance, if there were a call for not buying anything on any given day such as May Day, would Maddow tell her viewers to boycott GE for a day? Nope, she'd be instantly fired for supporting that progressive cause. I think that is what the original poster is referring to, a tv station that only represents what they choose to represent, not what the people actually believe in and act on.
