Well, if the MSM weren’t designed based on Pravda, the public might have a bit more respect for them.
As it is, we don’t need a steady diet of leftist propaganda. It’s about as satisfying as a steady diet of fake burgers.

What’s funny is FReepers will hail this, then go watch News Corp GARBAGE (i.e. Fox) for hours on end.

Always thought it was a dumb idea. Brian Lamb of C-Span was heavily involved in pushing the idea. Bet he didn’t think it would fold before he did.

Went there a few years back because out former DIL insisted on going. They charged $25 per head and the place was filled with crap most of us learned in history or have read about. Biggest waste of money and time in D.C. next to the congress.
