The problem is they do all their "smears" on the national networks, and we don't have "one" to respond on, you know? Our response has to come on cable and a lot of people don't watch/have cable!
Keep in mind that the networks (no cable viewers) are dead horses. People can get the news 24/7 and don't need the Dan Blathers, etc. to tell them what they heard and how they heard it. The Old Media have overestimaged themselves and their liberal bias has been exposed. My take on it, anyway.
