Why, just why, is there not a "cranky old fart" news channel. There are so many of us that DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT EVER want to hear the name OJ Simpson unless it is a quick note that he has passed.

I want a channel that discusses the following:

Congress
The Judiciary
the Executive Branch
Financial Markets
Current Events
Foreign Policy and International Relations
Scientific breakthroughs and controversies (Global Warming)
Significant news from various state governments


I do not want to hear about the following:

OJ Simpson
Brittney Spears
American Idol
Survivor
The "Royals"
Sports

We have excellent shows and channels already for these items. Entertainment Tonight, A Current Affair, ESPN.


This is a market I think. Why does no one fill it?

I have some entrepreneurship type ideas in the future. If I don't see what I want to see in the next 5 years or so, I will do it myself and get a hella lot of money! :) Maybe I will even start it sooner.

It is by design with the purpose of keeping people mis/uninformed.

The News Hour on PBS doesn't cover any of that junk.

OJ is in the news now for the same reason he was in the news in '95. If you don't understand what I mean, then they have succeeded.
