This new one won't sell out.
Folks. Guess what? If you want a reliable network that doesn't corrupt its reporters or sell out to corporate interests, the only solution is a viewer/listener sponsored one. A truly listener/viewer sponsored one, not National rePublican Radio, for example, which continues to hoodwink listeners who remember its halcyon days. Those days have been gone for more than 20 years. Because NPR remains "smart," a lot of people mistakenly think it's still progressive, too. Trust me: It ain't.
As for MSNBC, assuming it ever took a truly "liberal" viewpoint (and I am inclined to doubt that), MSNBC did so not because it shared our progressive agenda or even because it valued the truth. It did so because it made its shareholders money and because it didn't threaten the powers-that-be. As soon as it no longer met those goals, bye bye liberal viewpoint.
What's the alternative? A true alternative? Listen/watch Democracy Now! specifically and Pacifica Radio in general. Another excellent option is TRNN, the Real News Network.
Follow the money and you won't be hurt when the next progressive network you pin your hopes on breaks your heart by going over to the dark side.
