1. Hopefully soon!
Air America is doing way better than anyone thought. We need a cable news channel, and I nominate Jon Stewart to host the prime time show. Even better, let's have the Daily Show on the new network!

2. Good Question, RedstateLiberal!
ONe of the great mysteries of life..maybe because the fascists fear it so much that they would do anything to block it?

4. Well, part of it is this...
The electorate may be half-and half BUT:

the 1% of the population that owns 80% of the capital and more than 20% of the annual income are mostly what kind of voters?

BINGO! Repug greedheads! That's why the dominant media and nespapers reflect THEIR values, so that Jaguar and Mercedes and all the other "upscale" products will advertise there.

Look at the "travel" section of your newspaper. Can you or most people you know afford those exotic trips?

Of course there is also an element of the corporate world "buying the message" to ensure social control, but the above is the "cover story".

I mean, when you see an ad for a missile maker like Northrop Grumman on CNN or PBS don't you ever think "How the hell many consumers ever buy anything from these guys?"

But that's buying the message. Same with all the sponsors for Rush. Why sponsor him when his ratings are a fraction of the ratings of any pop music station? Controlling the message.
