he biggest hurdle facing the venture is assigning blame to who when the venture fails.

That's easy. It is the stationa managers with their greedy focus on Profits and the Rich Capitalist Owners with their focus also on that almighty dollar. They refuse to keep the Liberals on the air and finance the right wing extremists because rich corporate owners are necessarily rightwing oppressors.

Actually the left faces an impossible task in getting their word out through the media because most of Big Media is owned by those big conservative corporate capitalists. At least that is their current occasion for breastbeating.

Isn't that why we have NPR? I mean when any liberal venture fails because it's mission cannot be supported by standard economic factors any private venture must live with, it then becomes a need for taxpayer funding. Will we now have NPR, NPR1, NPR2, NPRINFINITY...?
