nothing is going to happen. I am not saying network TV is honest, powerful, or anything else other than it is turned on when mom and dad are home cooking dinner or doing homework for the kids in the evening. It is background noise. If anything gets legs politically it seems it is on the regular TV stations. If they hear something day after day it begins to sink in. I know Keith and Rachel and a whole host of others put in good, hard, reporting but it is different in that people tune in to actually listen and process what they are saying. TV network stuff, not so much.

Well, that's my opinion. I could be wrong.
