Pacifica carrys some pretty good programs, like "Democracy Now".

Back in the fall of 2002 they are the ones that were promoting the extremist left wing conspiracy theory that Saddam had no WMD.

I watched a little MSN in the last few days and had to go back to watching re-runs of old westerns before my head exploded and I bounced the remote off the screen and had to buy a new TV.

Even Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell were moaning about that mythical/mystical Rightwing unicorn 'ServerGate' that the RWNJs have been pushing all over the lamestream news channels lately.

Personally, we like that boring old PBS News Hour around here but Free Speech TV has some good stuff like 'Democracy Now' and Stephanie Miller.

I don't regard them as any more trustworthy than the MSMs these days. Ever since Gingrich got through with their federal funding, they've been slowly taken over by "underwriters" which range from MICs like Boeing to oil companies like Chevron and to right wing oligarchs like the Kochs. They;re bought and paid for like the rest of the media.
