PBS is insufficiently liberal for the high brow and arty types. With DEM TV they'd be able to pump full-throated liberal proganda 24/7 over the public airwaves. The downside is no one would tune in to watch. After all what can they say that would attract viewers? And no one likes watching liberals whine - even for comedic entertainment.

"despondent Dems now "are calling for stronger liberal think tanks" and "even entertained the possibility of a liberal television network to offset Fox News."

The suggested name for the new network is PC BS and the premier news show will be..."Left OUT".

Pacifica Radio had an internal revolt organized by diehard socialists who overthrew station management replacing "no depression" alternative country and worldbeat music (and locally programmed music programs at night) with talk programs that start with Amy Goodman's Democracy Now and turn harder left.

Funny thing is that they left on enough music programming that they can still get listener contributions to stay on the air.

Even some liberal Rats have confessed to me that they used to like it when the station played music. The more left these programs get, the more the democrat base is offended. There's no point to calling in to the programs to talk issues with these lefties. Many of the programs don't even field calls, they run 15-40minute speeches by Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, and British socialists you haven't heard of. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Biggest reason that these Dems would rather hear music.

Beings a liberal means "if it feels good, do it". They don't like to be preached to. They've been brought up to believe that they should watch the news everyday (it's like eating spinach, it's good for you) but it isn't as healthy as people are led to believe. Some yellow dogs would be suprised to learn that they are really Red pinkos.
