We have Fox news. We have the other left leaning news sources. Don't we need a libertarian leaning news program?

I'd love to see a proliferation of media outlets that each had a differing - and clearly defined and labeled - editorial slant. A marketplace of ideas for ideas, so to speak. Let viewers vote with their eyes as to whether they want a right leaning nightly news, a left leaning nightly news, hard right, hard left, libertarian, anarchist, and so on, in addition to the ones that currently at least strive for centrist impartiality. Some - probably most - would fail. (Are there really enough people who see themselves as libertarians that a libertarian newscast could get sufficient advertising or subscriber support? I wonder.) But it'd be a great experiment.

It's not a whole network, but Fox Business Channel now has 2 shows of a libertarian slant.  "The Independents" which is on most week nights and "Stossel" which is on in the same time slot as "The Independents" on Thursday nights.

Why can't we have unbiased media?  The networks, newspapers, etc.  routinely tout themselves as "fair" or "unbiased" or the like, but every story is twisted and slanted toward an agenda. I can barely stand to watch any news network, and wish they would simply state the facts.  Too many Americans are lazy, and they get their "opinions" from sound bites and rehashed versions of the story they see on tv.  Stop giving these people a crutch.  Make them research the topic themselves and form their own opinions.  Couple that with some sort of test to see if they actually know anything about the issues or policies before they can vote.  Kind of ran off-topic a bit, and I know my suggestion will never happen, but a guy can dream.

It depends on who you mean by "we" and what you mean by "need". Conservatism, liberalism, and libertarianism, just taken as handy labels that are meaningful but not too deep, are not 3 co-equal varieties of political identification. Con and lib are the 2 Big schools of thought in USA, while libertarianism-- like socialism, e.g.-- is relatively quite small. So it's a bit like saying "We pay football and basketball players millions of dollars, should't we pay lacrosse players like that ,too?" All 3 are sports. After that the meaningful comparison gets a bit weak. It is true that conservatism-- which more people ID with than liberalism- is underrepresented in the "mainstream" media. For an accurate reflection of viewpoints by a numbers criterion the  media "should be"  roughly evenly con and lib, not FOX vs Everything Else. But that is not how these things work.
