Yeah. I totally get that. But there won't be as much profit if nobody's watching. Obviously if they were hoping to lure GOPers with a Greta Van Susteren show, that failed, because the numbers weren't there. And if the numbers aren't there, sponsors aren't that interested. Because if the numbers aren't there, there aren't as many viewers to reach with your commercials.

And you bring up another interesting point. That mention of two progressive stalwarts - that's exactly the problem. There aren't many. Young Turks, too. There just aren't that many. Maybe that means it's time to start cultivating a few more?
