if you get dishtv, you can order the pentagon channel (http://www.pentagonchannel.mil/aboutdod.aspx), perhaps the Dod's answer to al-jazeera.

needs a sub-title or gimicky phrase, however:
"fair & balanced"? -- already taken (although content may be similar)
"all the news that's fit to air"? -- clearly tongue in cheek, but still catchy

how 'bout suggested programs?
"Now That's Torture!"
"Wheel of Misfortune" -- hosted by richard perle; countries to nuke on the wheel
"Truth or Consequences" -- shot on location at gitmo/abu-graib
"The Dating Game" -- (see above)

go nuts.

Phrase: "Freedom through Death" or "Spreading Democracy thru Any Means Necassary"

Suggested Programs: "Halibuton's Private Army" or for the documentary slot "Foregone Conclusions: How to make the facts fit the fiction" - Donald Rumsfield obviously a prime candidate for that one.

If it's anything like the early 80's AFRTS programming, which was all we could get in Adak, AK, then I'd recommend poking out your eyes with a hot poker...

And don't forget, "F-you Old Europe, Who Needs You Anyhow?"

Well, judging by the way Ms Rice is sucking up to them, someone does...
