Just in case you thought anything on television was actually informative and not purely agenda driven.
They'd better watch out. It's just a matter of time before software and bandwidth break the monopoly for TV like it did for print.
Recently MSNBC decided not to fill their 10pm time slot, and instead continue to air a repeat showing of Countdown. Interestingly, a video blogger was on the short list of possible entrants into this time slot.
"Cenk Uygur, one of 'The Young Turks,' said he believed MSNBC would do even better in the ratings with a new show but he understood the decision.
'I'm not put off by that,' he said. 'We're in a good position. We're almost certain to get on TV one way or another.' "
Almost certain. Until then he'll continue to broadcast from the Internet. Maybe it wont be him, maybe GE will twist Rachel Maddow's arm too hard someday, or maybe an up and comer at CNN will bump up against the Blitzer ceiling and take his career freelance, but it'll happen. Someone will set up shop online and start poaching.It's Almost Certain.
