I'll rephrase.
It would be better if 300 million Americans heard Donohue's message rather than just 10 million, no?

America is not yet a dictatorship or ruled by non-christians, so here, they still have a CHOICE. It doesn't matter where it is offered, obviously millions are choosing to watch something else.


That equals freedom.

i'm pretty sure there has been a non-christian president even if he did not admit...
your statement seems to say only non-christians can be dictators..

in either case the presidents are not &quot;rulers&quot; of america...more like managers for the real owners

i'm sure RT is only available for cable/sattelite subscribers...

my original point was that the original donahue program on free tv... the days of that kind of programming available to the national audience for free are done;

by 1996 donahue had become weak and watered down as that era had come to an end...but in the early 90's late 80's it was great...
i remember it as being provocative AND cutting edge...

i remember seeing sharazad ali on the show...alton maddox disacussing the tawana brawley case...the central park jogger case, etc.
they tackled real topics....
now in its place we have the jerry springers and maury poviches

i suggest to you that you have a overly romantic memory of mr donohue and content like that was more the exception than the rule.

Re: Why the Phil Donohue Show was Cancelled

back then they all behaved like maury with one or 2 days of serious journalism.

during that time frame i lump him in with geraldo, sally and oprah, fling in ricki as well (though her demographic was supposedly younger)

That is the Donahue that I remember. Him running up and down with the mike shoved under his armpit as he ponder the next attack. LOL!

@ Jahyout - Anyone can be a dictator. Anyone can do anything. That was actually not the point.

With about 3 exceptions, people tend to be dictated to (as in being told what to watch, when on TV) in majority non-christian countries than not.

I'm sure you two will prove me wrong however.
