Unfortunately, if you wanted your new "liberal" news network to affect a larger audience you'd need a think-tank to help "propagandize", else you'd be discredited by other motivated interests.
- gregcohn 13y agoI'm extremely curious to know exactly what about the comment you're replying to sparked the "liberal" label. I don't want to create a political discussion here, but it seemed like the reply was taking pains to suggest it would be neutral.
- syncerr 13y ago1. What is the political leaning of the national news network who stands to lose the most viewers if you were to take a percentage of everyone's audience? Fox [1]. Will they call your network neutral? 2. There seems to be an inordinate amount of money pouring into campaigns to discredit the sort of thing you might focus on (e.g., climate change[2], which is seen as a liberal idea[3]). 3. Less seriously, it was sub-text'd from Colbert's "Reality has a well-known liberal bias."
