Who is this match for the “political fringe”? Why, it’s Eliot Spitzer, and his new TV show on CNN.

So, what, I’m supposed to be impressed because a huge corporate media organization is willing to hire a former Governor of New York State to fight against political ideas that don’t match the insider, mainstream standard of acceptability?

Looks like a boring show to me… because it isn’t even close to a fair fight. There’s no “match” between corporate-funded nationally televised political celebrities and individuals pursuing alternative visions of the American future. They might as well televise a fight between an elephant and a grasshopper.

Corporate media kicking political outsiders in the teeth doesn’t count as news.
