Don't know if Cenk will be on TV after Al Jazeera takes over the network. Maybe he will just be on Youtube broadcasts or something.

to have talking points given to them. I consider all people on TV political shows as just another opinion to consider, not an opinion I must accept because they are on a liberal show.
I would rather spend some time looking up things than cheering about a spirited speech.

Or perhaps liberals do not need to be in lockstep. DU is a great example.
One of the things about freeperville is that the comments all seem to be pretty much the same - complete agreement with whatever is spewed. Must be comforting for them.

I heard somewhere that Oprah's network is losing money - maybe that will be up for sale next.

And maybe conservative shows also persist because the sponsors not only have a wonderfully targeted audience, but the sponsors themselves have axes to grind - privatization, no regulations, no taxes - and are willing to spend money in order to keep those wishes out in front of their conservative audience. Works really really well, if a teabagger can proudly hoist a sign that says keep your government hands outta my Medicare. (forgive me if I have used correct spelling and lessened the impact).

The War Room, Young Turks, Viewpoint, and Joy Behar are on Monday through Thursday.
I expect that The Young Turks are available online today.
