I fail to see how indoctrinating young people is part of the "best of both worlds for us." They specifically mentioned younger viewers as the target audience.

What do they need this for then? They've already got MTV. Have you ever watched any of MTV's Rock the Vote drivel? Scary.

Well, I interpreted the article as saying that the plan is for a more broad-based newsish/feature service for young adults (probably mostly features only vaguely related to current events, because launching a real news channel is hideously expensive). If it's not full-bore hard left "news", then it's a blow to the RATS who have been hoping for a specific liberal "antidote" to FNC. And if it is aimed at teens/young adults, it's doomed anyway because more kids aren't into watching that sort of stuff, and the few that are tend to lean conservative.

So either way, I think we win.
