As an avid viewer of Discovery Home, I deleted this Liberal Propaganda network from my DirecTV menu last night.
This new network has been pushed hard by the other networks with a liberal bent, including Mark Cuban's HDNet.
There were some very good home improvement shows on Discovery Home which are simpley "gone" for the sake of the envirowacko movement.

From the article:
O’Neill brushed aside any concerns about the network’s ability to reach those viewers who have yet to jump on the green bandwagon.
“Ecotainment is a new genre, and we have a lot of great content that’s very diverse,” she said. “We’re bringing green into the mainstream. We need to reach even more people so they see the entertainment value but also the green message. That’s what we’re all about.”

In other words, they’re going to program the ignorant masses.

It shows up on my dish tv guide as DJSC, right after DISC. It means Discovery Junk Science Channel.

Since nature abhors a vacuum, and the socialists/marxists have done their uttermost to undermine traditional Christianity, they must offer something else for humanity to worship—so one of their choices is Mother Gaia. For those for whom that’s too impersonal, they now offer Obamassiah. Something for everyone-as long as it’s not the God of the living Word.

Hey, if it gets some of Discovery Networks’ envirocrap off their other channels and concentrates it in one place for easier ignoring, I’m all for it.

In simpler terms: It’s a religion for those who don’t have one.

I’m hoping for the same thing, but the signs aren’t good.
The DIY Network was hyping Planet Green as well...and I’ve noticed the shows are talking more about the environment.

No more "Holmes on Homes." (good show, even though it's produced in Canada)

Yep.
On a related note-I have loved watching the History Channel, and History International. But there have been too many either revisionist history, or anti-Christian shows on there lately, and I haven’t watched much lately. I hate that I get excited to have a perfectly good history channel to watch, but once I get hooked, the leftist agenda gets kicked in. I have seen shows that did everything but outright Christianity as a fairytale, but when they have a show about Islam, it’s treated with the greatest deference. If they’re going to propagate a viewpoint that religion is fairytales for the gullible, they could at least be consistent and apply the same standard to Islam that they apply to Christianity. I suppose, though they’d never admit it, that they know the Christians won’t threaten to cut their heads off for mocking Christians.

Honestly, I’ve been trying to think of ways I can cash in on this green trend too. Nothing would make me happier to take money from these idiots.

Hope they crash and burn and leave a big thick billowy smoky cloud of CO2 behind.

I was dissappointed to learn that “Holmes on Homes” wasn’t part of their new “green linup”, especially given that they only seem to have a few shows and they are repeating them constantly.

If you were a true believer in the cult of global warming, how could you watch TV? Doesn't that take electricity that is generated by nasty coal plants or evil nuclear reactors? I suppose you could pretend that all the electricity you use comes from windmills. What about launching satellites ...doesn't that generate tons of CO2? How about laying all that cable for cable TV doesn't that disrupt some earth critters? ...ditto for microwave towers. Even your TV itself is made in China, where the CO2 levels are far higher than any where else on the planet. To be a true believer you must adopt a lifestyle like that of that newly discovered Amazon tribe and be one with nature.

That’s for the OTHER people, silly.
Besides, they can just buy carbon credits.
