I honestly don't see how this new network is going to gain any traction, without fact to back-up the vitriol, most will be put off by it.

They still don't get it.

Conservative talk radio isn't built with the premise to ~bash~.

I can think of no better person for conservatives to have on a lib talk show than shrill, hysterical, lying Franken.

Shouldn't the word "vow" be used about something OTHER than the first thing he would be expected to do?

There are two local talk show guys here in KCMO who regularly bash Bush. They claim to be libertarians but their agenda generally is to go after the present administration.
