Atheist TV Channel, what will they program?

Here's another way to look at it, and not just atheism. What if Scientology was everywhere. Harmless enough, unless you're an ex-scientoligist apparently. Let people believe it, some of it is nonsense.

A lot of those people will be voting. And beliefs count in those cases because of legislators who represent them. Or Islam, socialists -- just let everyone go unchallenged and hope for the best?

Lets look at it yet another way--what if a homophile push was everywhere, and if you were not with it your show would get canceled?

So there would be a channel safe from hearing gay marriage is same as marriage, that people in the lifestyle have no choice in the matter and if you do not support it then you are the one with a problem, all that kind of stuff. Still secular of course.

We can all find something that is "everywhere" that we do not agree with. Is there enough market to support a channel? And what does an "anti" channel program?

The marketplace supports what the marketplace supports. People got into the broadcasting business, and it may be liberals saw the advantage of it first, or it could be happenstance with a lot of them if there was dominance as more were there.

Limbaugh is rich. If you're asking me essentially the opposite version of why doesn't he let liberals sit in his chair all day and he stay home for a week. He doesn't have to. He is rich and has a viewership to support him. So why liberal media does this or that--- because they CAN and they figured out how to do it, same with Limbaugh or Rupert Murdoch.

And Liberals, conservatives, corporations, and labor unions, (broadcasting corps) have all used the government is some way or tried to.

There are no innocents, to plead, why me.

If someone can't get an anti-gay channel on, I guess they failed in one or more areas of success. Sucks for them.

If you're anti-unicorn, whatever is anti-unicorn and whatever else the audience seems to like.

Alright, I'm having a harder and harder time following exactly what you are trying to say at each step here so I'll let someone else step in here. Not sure what Limbaugh has to do with anything. Although many have tried to program a anti-Limbaugh shows and even networks. Pretty much all have failed.

The homophile push is everywhere and you are not part of the marketplace? But you are. That market is failing. You weren't able to effect it whether through voting or buying power..

But other than the last statement what were you asking then? Or were you asking anything?

No, I am not part of the homophile marketplace. It is a big reason why I have tuned out so much of popular culture. See, if half the scripted TV shows keep pushing gay storylines, well I tune out. If the NFL wants to start making a big deal about their gay players well I will tune out more of what little I still watch. One person is not going to affect a market on their own, but I have the satisfaction of knowing I refuse to buy in.

That's what I've done. I'm extremely picky
about what I watch or listen to. I keep up
with the news, but see very little modern
drama. Everybody is a PC stereotype now,
I don't need the aggravation.

Of course. (when I said you were part of the marketplace I meant with buying power voting power, free speech that is your input, not that you were for any current tv supporting themes of gays)

And, from what I could see so far, pro-gay (or as I would put just like anyone else) is winning. Buying power, courts, voting. Yes, sometimes it loses, but overall it is winning.

I said there are no innocents. People who hate government still try to use it against things they don't like.

The anti-gay marketplace is losing overall. It is still winning battles.

So, back to atheist TV. Why would it matter, to fight nothing. Why a channel? Religious people vote and they often like to vote for what they believe in.

That's a good enough reason for me.

Okay. : )



edit: Liberals who may hate corporate power will use that as well , so no innocents.

+1 for AZ
