turning to CNN, heaven help me, to hear news

I would rather go NEWSLESS than listen to CNN's propoganda!! The internet and FR will suffice just nicely!

Fox is the most over-rated news channel on television. It has one decent program, and only one hour that can really aspire to the name "news", and that is led by Brit Hume.

Maybe they could do a public service and let e-mail spammers use the hour to hawk their wares. Maybe it would cut down on the amount of garbage I have to dump from my mailbox.

Besides, a solid hour of ads for penis enlargement, Viagra and Nigerian scams would still outdraw the rest of MSNBC's shows.

LOL... I was alluding to the previous Keyes show on MSNBC... they cancelled him for Donahue... LOL Keyes had better ratings than any MSNBC show in that time slot since.

They should sign up a few retired Senators for a news talk hour. Fred Thompson, Phil Grahm, Zell Miller, etc. Just gab away on one topic a day.

Start with the Bill of Rights, one item per night (or week).

Genuinely put forth the idea of educating the American people about their government.

I know sincere education would be a desperate move (< /sarcasm>), but with PSMBC's ratings and holes in their program schedule, they might want to try something really radical (for just one hour a day).

Could it be the "Coulter & Ingraham" show I've been praying for?

The AmishDude show. The time is ripe.

Of course, I'd get better audience numbers on public access.
