Hello Current TV....it sure would be great if you would give us a morning show. You know, one

to knock the socks off Morning Schmoe, Imus and the rest....all the while providing us with substance and drive to face the day!


Please, please, please!

1. You're right. Why do all morning shows push conservative views?

It must the the best time of the day for the big corps to push their propaganda.

[Ian David]

3. Because Conservatives don't actually do any work until after noon. n/t

4. I believe they do it for two obvious reasons

Conservatives take the early spot to work damage control on yesterday's stories while getting the lead on the news cycle for today.

Current TV needs to give us an alternative to watch so Scarborough and the rest of the Republican talking point crew no longer control the morning influence machine.

7. They own the media. nt

2. Maybe they can get Scarborough

Since DUers love him so much.

5. Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly...

Consider this the first step in what, hopefully, will become a dynamic progressive news outlet, but it won't come easily or cheaply. Gore and company are taking a big financial gamble here as operating a full-scale news department involves a lot of people and equipment. I'm hopeful that last night's ratings will show a major jump in Current's abysmal ratings and this will entice advertisers to buy time and stay aboard. This is what will fuel future growth...and hopefully lead to more shows with fresh content throughout the day.

6. A morning show with news rather than views would be nice IMO. How many hours a day of opinion does

one need?

Can we not make up our own minds?

8. Great idea. nt

9. I don't get this side of Current - it CAN access big bucks to become a major network, but, doesn't

or won't.

This has been bothering me for years.

10. This is a good thing. They are beholden to no one.

12. Not talking about corporate money. There are a number of wealthy lefties, including Gore, who

can do what it takes to bring Current to a wider audience. But, heck, Gore's Apple stock alone could probably fund a larger network - it's not like he'd change the network's worldview to accomodate Apple, would he?
