They will always have enough viewers and sponsors to get by. Politics trumps money there. Economic action will not change them, at least when the difference is critical. No coincidence that MSM is starting to cover Tea Party events more and has even soften the rhetoric a little now that ObamaCare is past. This will continue until the November elections when the Tea Party will morph into all that is evil once again - unless it damages Republicans by fostering independent candidates.

Very innovative, I give his team due credit, and yes BOTH parties will be chasing Wall Street $$$$, that's a traditional GOP fund raising goldmine. The TARP deal was worked out by both out going and in coming administrations and altough I don't agree with hoew it was handled it was a bi-partisan mistake. I don't smack Obama for TARP too much and some of that money is actually being paid back. True about Obama tapping into millins of small donors, very effective use of the internet and new media.

That was very smart and effective. As you point out Main Street is feeling a little left out of the party about now with 10% unemployment and general malaise setting in -except on Wall Street. The market is doing well, and that's good for the country in general. I just don't think Joe and Jill Sixpack are feeling the effects of a strenghening market - yet.

James believes it's because he cut a deal to agree to follow what Bush was doing, but I think it was because the banks held America's savings hostage, the devil in one of Obama's ears, while Rahm Emanuel played the 'angel' in his other ear, also telling him to cut the deal so Congressional Dems would start to see the Wall St. contributions instead of the Republicans.

Read your own words: "Here it is 2010 and you believe Turner is deciding what CNN covers on the nightly news." "So we agree suggesting their founder is secretly controlling them today is the workings of an imbecile." I agree with the left on nothing, facts to them are nothing if they do not fit their agenda.

His note said so. His bookshelf had O'Reilly, Hannity and Savage represented. O'Reilly was accused for egging on the Tiller Killer. I believe those guys may have toned it down since! Liberals are capable of the same. In 1968 Wayne Kramer and the MC5 sang about revolution at the 68 Republican convention when riot police started busting heads. Punk rock may have been invented on that day. You know what's funny about Bill Ayers? He was being tried for taking part in bombings meant to protest Nixon's abuse of US intelligence services for political gain and they had to let him go because they illegally wiretapped him. He went on to fight for needy kids his whole life, which is how he met Obama, I guess. All this is true, but instead of saying Obama pals around with terrorists, I said it in a different framing. Tupac Shakur grew up in the belly of a woman who also bombed in protest of Nixon era crimes and kids all over America memorize his words today. Earl is right that we should give equal time to the 60s and 70s protest story today. A man named Jim Adkisson is the evidence, he went to a church to kill liberals with a shotgun. His note said so.
