1. those three hours of Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell on msnbc

are the closest thing we probably have to a fully-functioning free press, as far cable news.

2. And MSNBTrump is owned by Comcast. If that's the best we can do

We"re fucked. The billionaire owners hire the millionaire talking heads to tell us to vote for the same ol, same ol.

3. As things stand, yes. I believe that for now anyway, as far as cable news they're the best we can do

As you know, Reagan's dream was to have a highly-monopolized, all-right wing tv news media dominated by Fox.

That's why he expedited Murdick's citizenship papers and illegally granted Faux News its news license in 1985, and then had the FCC ditch equal time rules. The fix, he thought, was in.

And unfortunately, many of those plans really have come to fruition - with 6 companies controlling news that used to be handled by 85 companies or so up to the Carter years.

That's why, as limited as they are by their Comcast bosses, I really appreciate those three. They really do try to keep it real in every way they still can.
