that would simply say the obvious stuff out loud. The Comcast family still owns just as much of MSNOW as they did of MSNBC because it was a simple stock swap transaction. I don't give a F about their distribution methods if what they are distributing is the same corporate-filtered crap we have been getting for years, placed inside a pretty wrapper to make it look like it is progressive.

Now, if they will actually have the editorial freedom to speak the truth and not have to wrap everything in both-siderism and euphemisms, then I'd say a direct-to-consumer model may have good merit. It all begs the question of what good the cable networks are today, other than to provide Internet service.

I already give the Comcast family way too much money each month and I really should be cutting the cable. So they SHOULD be thinking about ways to serve the progressive-minded MAJORITY in this country. Surely the Comcast family has more money than they could ever spend now. They don't need to force their product to tow the corporate line. They have a chance to do a good thing for this country.
