Yeah, I know that looks nasty. But if you want to see it in a table, go to http://www.choosetheblue.com/main.php and click on Entertainment and News and then Television Networks.

I'm blown away. :wtf: Did they give it all to Zell or what?

5. Look's like Firefox link doesn't work...
I use Firefox all the time and whan I went to see if there were any updates from your link it took me to micro$oft.
Put your curser over it and look at the status bar at the bottom. Too many "HTTP"'s

Yea Firefox is AWESOME

4. yep, looks like News Corp. Disney, and Viacom are very blue
and the YES network is 100%

interesting. BuyBlue.org uses only top executive data. Choose the blue might use a different method. I don't know. But I want the Freepers to flip out over this.

7. They're trying to buy off the Democratic Party
They did pretty well, too, when McAuliffe sold out to anyone with a six-figure check.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
