cooperating with the network preempting shows for Trump's daily evening hatefest.
Not to mention, Keith wouldn't enable him within the context of the show like the network has.

(29,204 posts)can his exit from MSRNC be coming shortly?
Or does his need for a platform (and possibly a job) "trump" his hatred of Trump.
Note - I no longer will watch MSRNC, so I don't know what Lawrence is saying about Trump these days.

(856 posts)Lawrence called out the media "including this network" last night for the 45 minute Trump infomercial.
Also said that Trump was a Presidential Candidate that will be testifying under oath during the campaign for fraud in CA & NY.

(39,215 posts)progressive news people do not get together and find money to create their own channel with true free speech. Instead they are spread out among all kinds of left leaning channels that most of us cannot even get in our packages.
Keith, Ed, Rachel, Chris Hayes, etc.
My guess is that their ratings would skyrocket.

There was AirAmerica which was a great attempt to do just what you wanted. It was a bad business model and unfortunately ClearChannel and Cumulus (both very red) owned most of the outlets. ClearChannel is now owned by Bain Capital.
The bottom line is liberals have never put any effort into creating programs and outlets for their side. This is one area that (i hate to call them conservatives) the regressives have pursued with religious zeal since the Powell memo back @1970. The Powell memo was a roadmap for permanent conservative majorities.
The regressive elements own most of the media outlet in newspaper, magazine, radio and TV. The only thing they don't control is the internet which is why controlling that is so important to them.
If a Repug is elected next year the loss of an open internet may be just as important, maybe more important than making the SCOTUS a den of right wingers.
edit to add: even if liberals owned some TV stations, getting them on cable outlets is a whole other issue. Freespeech is on direct and Dish but few others as far as I know. Current TV offered just what you wanted but again no one carried it.
