    I wonder if it your leftist biases (like MrFun) that makes it impossible to see Buchanan's intelligence and great analysis.


    Regardless of whether he's intelligent, his views are pretty damn extreme, and he's an ideologue.

    Would you prefer George Will on the show?[/q]

    Better. Someone like David Brooks would an appropriate analogue of Clift.

      David Brooks already does the Newshour, I don't know if he wants to do every PBS show.

      Buchanan is far smarter than you give him credit for. He's as much an extremist and ideologue as Bill Press is.

        I don't know much about Bill Press.

        Regarding Brooks, I meant a journalist of his caliber. That doesn't mean Buchanan.

          Who's Bill Press?

          Buchanan is a borderline fascist, and has at least had some tenuous connection to hate groups in the past. I susppose his opposite would be someone like Bill Moyers, who's a borderline socialist.

            Except of course that Moyers is an actual journalist...

              Buchanan has plenty of writing chops under his belt, including a syndicated column and speechwriting duties for a President. He also has a Masters Degree in Journalism from Columbia (which I'm sure Carville does not). By far the biggest name on that group. There is a reason that he's been on CNN, MSNBC, and PBS. And, interestingly enough, he's never been on FOXNews... whether that is because of his choosing or their's I'm not sure.

                Writing is not the same thing as reporting.

                  You said journalist, not reporter . And he does have a Masters in Journalism from one of the best Journalism schools in the country.

                    Writing Nixon's speeches isn't the same things as journalism, either.

                    Anyways fine, what I mean is reporting. Buchanan doesn't have that temperment. Compound that problem, he's practically a fascist, as che said.

                      Without the national network which PBS and NPR provide there wouldn't be the economy of scake to produce most of the programs.

                          That's easy to address - the local affiliates can join and help fund a separate non-profit or non-profits for production and distribution. A national network doesn't require Federal funding.

                            I can point to numerous examples where such a network exists because the national government created it but I can't think of one network that exists the way you are describing.
