TVN made no sense as a business. The project of archconservative brewing magnate Joseph Coors, the news service was designed to inject a far-right slant into local news broadcasts by providing news clips that stations could use without credit – and for a fraction of the true costs of production. Once the affiliates got hooked on the discounted clips, its president explained, TVN would "gradually, subtly, slowly" inject "our philosophy in the news.” The network was, in the words of a news director who quit in protest, a "propaganda machine."

I suppose that's why it's in the rack next the The Enquirer, The Star and the NY Post at convenience stores.

Yes I read it. And yes, it's still a hit piece.

Hey, I did say 'nice' didn't I?

Excuse me there's a news show about Beer coming up on the Comedy news channel.....see ya later.....
Typical...Attack the resource when you can't refute the information.

You may read gossip magazines like the National Enquirer, but Rolling Stone is a serious music magazine with an interesting political section with some very talented writers. They are very well respected.

Diversify...diversify...I promise it doesn't hurt
