Cheaper than cable, if you don’t count the cost of the high speed internet connection.
If it doesn’t get commercial sponsors, then let it die.
Nope.
Between the Internet, C-Span, talk radio, and the occasional descent into the news networks (Don’t Go, Brit!) I get all the politics I can stand.
I believe the Daily KOS is already on some porn channel.
I can’t imagine paying for, or even receiving free, news to be delivered serially via video when I can have direct access to the articles that interest me via text online. Very few things need video to to convey a message in a way that cannot be conveyed by text. With FR for example I can skim stories very quickly and only dig deeper into the ones I find compelling. With video, I need to sit through a ‘personality’ reading the articles to me in a sequence they find interesting. Seems like a degradation of service rather than an enhancement.
