The US needs a new TV station. We need someone truly impartial.

If the truth was broadcast, Dems would be a sure bet this election, and the repubs would have to start telling the truth. Aren't there any rich Dems who could finance such an undertaking?

1. I consider "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer" on PBS to be balanced.

I don't think it's out to promote the Republicans or the Democrats.

I also consider C-Span to be reasonably balanced.

4. Another station !? I have 1,000 stations on DirecTV

The issue is media consolidation.

5. What we need is pirate broadcasting. "Legal" broadcasting means that you have to pay

a lot of money to buy a license. Guess who has the money? The system is rigged. Only rich people can broadcast.

6. Look at who owns the media..

and how many television stations..A&E, USA, TNT, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel..and on and on and on that they own. They've got this baby locked up. These corporations interests are in opposition to the interest of our country.
