   I don't quite buy that.  Every niche program or station is watched by an   
   opinionated audience that likes to stay well informed.  It's the same for   
   the G4tv game junkies as it is for the FOX News junkies or the MSNBC   
   junkies, History Channel, National Geographic, etc etc etc, in that there's   
   always "one more thing" to seek out and become opinionated on.
