1. Wooo Hooo! While the RW will rake him/it over the coals
you can't deny he's anything but honest about it being liberal. Maybe their tag line can be "The Truth and Counterbalance News"

2. Fabulous News
If he can get George Soros or someone to bankroll a solid programming lineup for the first season or two... well then.

I'd like to see them get some Fox Infoganda Network celebrity lookalikes doing verbatim transcripts of Hannity et al shows, with factoids that categorically refute every vitriolic rightist prevarication scrolling across their faces.

What a cathartic forum
this is.
