All Current TV all the time in my house.

To hell with those right wing trolls at MSNBC who are trying to claim to be progressive. They're all corporate shills for their corporate masters.

I throw them all under the bus.

of Current TV on Dishnetwork from September to early October. I was very impressed with it. I especially liked Eliot Spitzer and Jennifer Granholm. They both do a great job with their programs. I've thought about upgrading to get it included in my package, but not sure I want to spend the money right now. But it certainly is much better than the corporate-owned news channels. No question about that.

Just like Comcast...make Liberal stations more expensive. You can get FOX on any cheap package.

...when in fact it is just a lighter version of it. Having a republican morning show is all anybody needs to know. Having a few crumbs during prime time hours is the ruse.

I watch Current instead. If MSNBC doesn't want my viewership, I'll watch a channel that does.

Their "share" is miniscule, and partisans have made up our minds already...many have already voted.

It all comes down to how "successful" the schemers in FL, OH are PA are ....

with the two polls that showed Obama up 18 points.

Then they did PA, a poll showing Obama up by 4 points (of course, other polls show bigger leads). That discussion ended with the guest conceding that Romney would win, but it's an interesting discussion.

She said it several times today. I don't have a problem with analyzing what Romney did. But calling it "saving" is a conclusion that's not journalism but an opinion that sounds like what the Romney campaign would say. I think it' probably true that the taxpayer saved the Olympics with the $1.3 billion Romney was able to get.
