Can someone start a network for sane people that is "fair and balanced"?

For every "sane" person they put on the air, they have to put an "insane" person on, for the purpose of being "fair and balanced". Well, at least it would be "balanced". It would make no difference what the stance of the "sane" person, the "insane" person would get equal time to express themselves. Then they could brag about how they are #1 and how they give "both sides" of the issue. Sounds fair, don't it? :)

1. Someone asked Chomsky:

"How do elites control the media?"

Chomsky replied; "How do elites control General Motors? Because they own it."

Reagan/Bush abolishing the Fairness Doctrine, "deregulation" policies, and the Telecommunications Act. Big Biz likey war profiteering very much! "Fair and balanced" only gets in the way of the true primary aim.

2. Better yet

Inquisitive and Accurate.

The truth has nothing to do with "Balanced" and often isn't "Fair"
