A tip of the hat for not using the stock phrase "liberal biased media."

I would agree that many programs on TV, and before that radio, and
before that plays & operas, had a degree of political slant.

The novelty is the program intended to entertain which is *nothing but*
political slant & spin... no plot, no story, no music, no attempt at
journalism, just ranting & raving.


Interestingly, some 35 years ago when cable was just emerging I was assigned
a paper on the First Amendment implications FCC regulation of networks when
going from 3 networks to a vast multiplicity of channels. Have to give a pat
on the back to the prof. who thought that one up.

And what were your conclusions?
