Reply #111: How about BBC America... [View All]

BBC is either now or shortly test marketing their 24 hour news channel in certain markets (including here in San Diego). Perhaps we should call them to talk them into amping up their penetration into other markets too. If they can actually get to a sizable number of cable systems, perhaps that would be the time for someone like Palast to go on their news channels in prime time with an interview with her and promote the hell out of it on various cable and satellite systems. If BBC 24 hour news were to air this and find a way to get Americans to tune in, it might be a MAJOR blow to U.S. MSM credibility. Something they would fully deserve and hopefully kick them in the butt for ratings for a period of time!

I don't know though if now the cable systems, etc. would also be dragging their feet on any efforts BBC might exert to push them in markets more aggressively for the same reasons that the MSM is avoiding covering her too.

If Olberman and others that would otherwise try to do the interview themselves on networks are being kept from doing so, perhaps they can tell viewers themselves to tune into BBC to get the straight story, since he's being kept from doing so, or something like that to steer the MSM audience to them.
