The Center was often featured prominently on the Al Franken Show on the Air America Radio network, where Christy Harvey and Franken discussed at length alleged dishonesty and incompetence in the Bush Administration. The Center has no information on its website about its funding, but the Washington Post reported that "...seed money pledged by such deep-pocketed Democrats as financier George Soros and mortgage billionaires Herbert and Marion Sandler..." assisted its formation.[2] en.wikipedia.org That figures... the center that came up with this revolutionary project is a Franken/Soros baby. Radio is a medium which appeals more or less directly to people's minds. The listeners actually listen - there is no glitter, no visually attractive people on the screen - there are no distractions, only words. And, regrettably, the Left doesn't have very much to say, most of the time. Can't get very far on goofing and complaining about Bush - and on fantasizing how they would promptly resolve all the world's problems.... if only voters would smarten up and give them Mucho power. Their report is an admission of defeat. They can't compete on the airwaves - so, they will have the government force the public to listen to them. Looks like the report is getting a lot of attention, judging from the many entries on Google. But - I think that it will backfire. The socialistic implications are too obvious.
