Current TV being pulled by Time Warner

Add the "History" Channel to that list Fred...it's been months since anything historic was on it! ;D

At any rate, yes, both Fox and MSNBC both make their money preaching to the choir. The tragedy of it is that the so-called "middle" in the country seems to be shrinking in direct correlation to CNN's diminishing audience.

Oh...and HLN's only political leaning is toward the "celebrity" party!

TLC? Are you serious? It stopped being The Learning Channel quite a while back, and is now home to stuff like "Cake Boss," "Say Yes to the Dress" and "Long Island Medium." Oh, and Sunday night (01/06) there's a 6-hour marathon of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

Yecccch!
 
Maybe people do like watching Ice Truckers, Top Gear USA and such on a channel called History. It's #12 nationwide just ahead of Fox News.

Er, which CNN are you watching? CNN is very centrist, to a fault. Any time I look at CNN, unless they're doing an actual news report, I see two people on opposite sides, with nobody injecting facts into any of the yelling back and forth, until the end of the segment where "we have to leave it there." If I wanted to see two people arguing pointlessly, I don't have to pay for CNN to see that.

Trip, considering that his list of "left leaning" news channels also included CNBC, I'm not inclined to take his views of what is left leaning all that seriously.
 
I agree with Texas Tom. CNBC, if anything, is right-leaning. HLN is 95% celebrity talk. Our original poster, bless his heart, has been listening too much to Rush Limbaugh, I bet, but Rush is a man we all respect here in the news business who went from being a travelling DJ in Missouri to now a man of great wealth. I respect his background. Now, his political views, well, he's just playing people for suckers and making a mint. Like Ann Coulter.

Current TV was left-leaning, no question. It was ultra-left-leaning. But it was honest about it. Fox news, on the other hand, calls themselves fair and balanced while reading GOP talking points as though they were actual news writings from real professional journalists. (Media Matters for America has the transcripts.)

Ain't broadcasting wonderful?
