My husband was looking for his show the other day and couldn't find it.
Thanks. We have Direct TV satellite but will check to see.......
Our daughter has Dish Network.

Actually, this morning I found a video on YouTube whereby he was interviewing an Indian author of a recent book which has been made into a movie out now.....it was quite interesting.

Do you know what the "network" is??? For channel 212?

I am beginning to understand more and more every day.

As always, we should prize and cherish our right to choose a number of different channels/networks with a number of different viewpoints, instead of only one that is state-operated.

You are correct. We've always predominately watched the three major networks, ABC, CBS and NBC evening news, etc. plus CNN for breaking news.

Lately, we've been tuning into FOX news. My husband likes public t.v. also....PBS. We get "all viewpoints" , or at least try to.

Lately, we feel that ABC with Diane Sawyer has evolved into NOT a normal news show, but a medical show. Also, what little news there is has an obvious slant.

We like to hear all opinions on both sides and we do believe in freedom of speech and truth in journalism.

Even if it means occasionally watching or listening to the oddballs out there.

Never liked Glenn Beck,News is to slanted.

This thread has the potential of getting political...sharing news about a shows availability is totally cool...discussing/commenting on the political nature of its content is not other than a general description. Calling it "the truth" is political.

I'm all for freedom of the press and differing viewpoints; however Beck has shown himself to be a bigot and racist many times over. I don't need those kinds of viewpoints and that kind of hatred. I'm surprised anyone would hire him. I was reading that at one point he had lost 1.4 million viewers and 200 advertisers.

I've never cared for GB either, but have always thought that personalities like him, and others, just target a particular audience and then cater to them, primarily for ratings, advertising and of course $$$'s.
