Why do Democrats want their own Media outlets
Don't they have enough already.

No one would watch it or listen to it either so they should forget about getting their own media. They should watch Fox because it is fair and balanced.

1. I totally agree!
CBS + NBC + CNN + CNBC + MSNBC + ABC = liberal heaven!

Only one network (Fox News) shows the Republican side of things, yet it is still slightly biased to the left (that Alan Colmes sure takes the spotlight away from Hannity!).

Poor Rush those Democrats should leave the man alone. Wasn't better that he bought his PRESCRIPTION PILLS off of his maid instead of the drug dealers in the parking lot of Denny's. Oooppppps didn't he PICK them up a Denny's.

I don't know why they pick on Bush he has done so much for our Foreign Affairs in other countries. I feel so safe now that I am thinking about taking a Vacation to every Middle Eastern Country and I want to wear my USA Flag Tee Shirt to prove how American I am when I travel there.

4. Nobody listens or views the other networks anyway
The last thing that a person thinks about after working two full-time jobs is turning on the TV.

5. Personally the cable Triplets
Inquirer type news is so aborbing and compeling until I don't know if I could handle any more "Important" earth shattering misinformation. I wouldn't want to know too much...too busy being very afraid and consuming.

8. Democrats DEFINITELY need their own
media outlet. I'm SO tired of turning the dial on the radio, and coming up with nothing but hot air wherever I turn. Michael Savage, Imus, Lars Larson, Rush Limbaugh, the list goes on and on. I can just feel their hot breath blasting in my face as I drive home from work.

Let the Democrats find just ONE radio station, and I would park my dial there and stay put.

12. I actually converted someone from talk radio!
A lady in my cardio class complained that she was listening to talk radio in the morning on her way in and it was just so awful and angry. I told her about the Limbaughs and Hannities and Savages and Ingrahams and how deliberately biased they were and incendiary they were and that it was all about IN-YER-FACE. And that - to be IN-YER-FACE just for the sake of being IN-YER-FACE (because so much of what they said was NOT factual) and that they dealt in hate-spew for a living, fomenting more hatred and discord, while at the same time stirring things up based on a carpet of falsehood. I told her this was DEFINITELY going to take a toll on her psyche. To add impact, I told her I used to be in radio news for years (which is true) and I saw/knew this upfront and with personal experience, so I felt I could speak about it with some credibility.

The next class, she came over to me, beaming, and said she didn't listen this particular morning, for a change, and she felt SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!! She was visibly happier and even lighter in appearance. She kept repeating, with some incredulity, how much better she felt this morning for having not subjected herself to this shit. YAY!!!! I feel like I did a true public service there!
