Even the progressive networks? I just don't get it. Kurgan, Hartmann, Rhodes....these are the voices of Progressives. Why are they absent from ALL the networks? I understand they wouldn't be welcome at fox-nonsense; but MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR?

And yet we see such empty headed shills as "the war criminal crowd" from the W administration, jackasses in Congress like Gohmert, Cruz, Rubio, graham, mcGrumpy, etc.

...and the progressive message is very often at odds with the agendas of Corporate America.

I remember Thom Hartmann guesting on Olbermann once. Rhodes was on CNN when she was on Air America. But that's pretty much been it. Anyone who is unwilling to play kissy-face with the fat cats gets shunned, for the most part.

BTW, MSN-BS? Progressive?
