TWC Should Carry Current TV

Earlier this month I wrote that over 1/2 the liberal media was eliminated with the sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera. Turns out this is true if you have Time Warner Cable as your provider, but those with other providers are providing access to Current TV. The Young Turks, John Fugelsang, and Jennifer Granholm are still on the air.  Elliot Spitzer just left, and, of course, Keith Olbermann was let go long ago.

Current TV also has TV broadcasts of Bill Press's (6-9A ET) and Stephanie Miller's (9-12A ET) liberal radio shows. If only the fairness doctrine were reinstated and enforced, we'd be able to hear them on our local radio stations, but Current TV gives us a chance to hear them (as does the Internet: click their names above during the times their on the air).

So call Time Warner Cable, 877-TWC-EASY, and ask them to put Current TV back on the air. Also, ask them to pick up Free Speech TV while their at it. If you want extra credit, call your local radio stations and ask them to carry liberal radio hosts such as Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann (12-3P ET), Randi Rhodes (3-6P ET), and Mike Malloy (9-12P).
