Are "networks" owned by corporations?

How many "liberal" political talk shows are out there other than on MSNBC? How many on "basic cable"? How many on the free networks?

I don't need to talk to a shrink. I can go to any bar and talk to anyone for a lot less and enjoy beer and women, mainly cheap beer and cheaper women.

Bets the question of WHY did Zucker go? Why did they get rid of BOTH of them?

He'll show up somewhere, at the liberal rags on the net.

But nothing else, just one-sided liberal talking points and lies.
And NOW he has been silenced from the airwaves. Some people seem to live in a very simplistic world with no shades of gray at all.

How do you KNOW it was purely a "management decision"....were you in on the meetings and discussions? Also, how do you know that "management decisions" don't include political considerations? How do you know that the new strategy at MSNBC is not to eventually become a right wing competitor with FOX. The FACT IS that you absolutely do not know of your own direct knowledge what was involved in the decision.

Olbermann was too anti-corporatist. Too anti-Republicans, too anti **** Industries, etc., etc., etc. Did someone say that the person running comcast or owning comcast is a REPUBLICAN?
