That's cause you're asking for an impossibility.
The News Hour on PBS comes very close.

Agreed 100%. The extremists are a minority, but they are actively getting out the vote such as in O'Donnells election in Delaware. If the majority of voters, especially moderate voters, continue to sit on the sidelines, then our elections will be determined by a radical minority.
BTW, I plan on going. Rally to Restore Sanity

"Radical moderates... center majority"... ROTFLOL. This is why he should have the rally.Stewart made that point about why we don't hear more from the radical moderates or center majority -- we got **** to do. We're busy.
Translation: The cult has worn off, the leader exposed for the Radical he is, the left is exposed for the radicals they are... the "moderates" have sobered up and left the building.Unfortunately, our apathy may bite us in the ass this Nov.

I LOVE the timing of it. These people think it will make a difference, and it will... as a reminder... to those who want to boot the Radical Moderates out of office.

The core issue being that Democratic voters actually want moderates in power, while conservatives want the extremists. And somehow they think this is a good idea.

Pretty broad brush with that statement. Am interpreting your meaning to be "Democrats=good/smart. Conservatives=bad/not smart".
Be interesting to hear what your definition is for the bolded words in your core issue conclusion. :thinking

"Within hours of the announcement, 34,000 people pledged to attend the rally through its Facebook fanpage. Other rallies were planned overnight in American cities and cities outside the United States while the pledged number of attendees to the official Facebook event reached 69,000.[2] 12 hours after the announcement there were "tens of thousands" of respondents. As of 11:30 EST Sunday, the Facebook event has 80,000 attendees, comparable to some estimates of Beck's Restoring Honor rally.[6]...."
Rally to Restore Sanity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Comedy Central television channel has applied for a permit to hold a rally led by satirical hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at the Washington Monument, the National Park Service confirmed.....
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert 'Rally to Restore Sanity' Papers Filed - Speakeasy - WSJ
It never ceases to amaze me how seemingly smart people use the Comedy Channel as their news source. :shock:
He said smarter. He didn't say his news source. You actually have to know the news first to get the jokes, so the comedy is for people who are already informed. Just pointing that out for ya.
I really don't agree. I thought the beauty of the show, even during its purely media-bash tendencies in the 90s, that you didn't have to know the news to enjoy the jokes.
Maybe some of it. But I do think you get more, much more, if you're informed.
Lest anyone doubt ...... IT'S HAPPENING!!!!
Did you read that, there's going to be RESTORE SANITY rallies all over the country. WAAAAHOOOO!!!!
Just as there are 9/12 rallies and tea parties all over the nation on certain days. Copycats.
I think it's highly silly to parody the Restoring Honor Rally. It was fabulous. What are they going to do? Make fun of God? The Cardinals? The military man who had a bomb go off in his hand? Black people? Gospel singers?

Yet there are no moderate mainstream news organizations (that I'm aware of).

I read this article and laughed aloud several times. THAT'S what I expect from political entertainers (but don't get from Beck et al).
My Way News - Colbert to rally against faux nemesis Stewart
She was close to being the Vice President, and she was a former Governor. I do not really enjoy the woman, but I give credit where credit is due. With Beck, I agree he is a shock-jock, but he's a self-assured and powerful shock-jock.
