If someone would've told me just a few years ago that there would be so many left-leaning cable news

shows on my tv that I would have to pick and choose which one I wanted to watch...

I would've laughed in their face.

I dreamed of this day for so long, and it has come true tonite.

That said, I'm still watching Lawrence...just catching him on the re-run.

4. I know, but there are not nearly enough liberal shows on teevee.

Now, more than ever, we need them. All day long. Even on weekends. Even instead of prison shows.

15. Yeah but he said 'within a year'

I think he needs to add someone for an hour before and after his show - RIGHT AWAY.
Keith has already hired David Schuster to be his fill-in, but he ought to go ahead and put Schuster on for the hour before Keith (that's the hour that repeats Chris Matthews on MSNBC) and then find someone for the hour after Keith.

5. Quite a few

Edited on Mon Jun-20-11 09:28 PM by Tx4obama

MSNBC: Cenk, Lawrence, Rachel and Ed
Current TV: Keith Olbermann
Jon Stewart and Colbert
Bill Maher
and The View and Ellen are really good for a liberals - when they are talking politics.

I will give Shepard Smith an honorable mention since his show is not anti-dem :)

Who else should be added to the list?

Edited to add Cenk and Lawrence.

9. Oh Good Lord !!!

How on earth did I forget Cenk !!! LOL
Yeah and Lawrence too:)

p.s. I'm still hoping that since MSNBC hasn't given Cenk a 'full contract for his own show' yet, that Cenk will end up going over to Current TV with Keith.

8. I hope you're not counting MSNBC amongst them.

They have a good lineup in the evenings, but the network is as right wing as FOX. They're just more hypocritical. They playact at being left leaning. FOX is more honest. They're owned by assholes who act like assholes.

10. Not during the day, except for Cenk, and definitely NOT in the mornings. But still

it used to only be Keith.

13. 'Left-leaning'? What the heck?

What you call left isn't truly leftist.
