So does that mean they plan on competing channels that no one listens to?
That would have been a legitimate way of getting their ideas through.
Unfortunately, they've tried it and it failed miserably.
Remember AIR AMERICA MEDIA with its cadre of talk show hosts --- Al Franken, Janine Garofalo, etc. ?
On October 13, 2006, Air America filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11, at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
Al Franken alone was owed US$360,749.98 and Rob Glaser, founder of Real Networks, was owed the most at US$9.8 million. The filing had over 25 pages of creditors and showed that the company lost US$9.1 million in 2004, US$19.6 million in 2005 and an additional US$13.1 million by mid-October in 2006.
Contrast that to Rush Limbaugh's EIB Network, which has only grown stronger even after 20 years of operation.
Not being able to compete freely in the market place, the left have done what they're always wont to do when they can't win people's hearts and minds through ideas --- USE THE FORCE OF GOVERNMENT.

You are right, but doing it their way is something that we won’t allow — right? The reason leftists radio is not successful, here are in Venezuela, is people quickly figure out it’s all lies and tune out.
Talk radio is scripted interactive, which is why the truth works so well and lies fail so spectacularly.
