That could work. Perhaps we could be panelists on a show on a Fox-like network.

Or just host a Fox show. It's allowed. You can use real networks.

Yeah, definitely. I'm sure Fox has some Progressive panelists.... sometimes... somewhere. No matter, this would be the perfect opportunity to push my guy out there and it the campaign running.

The network can be changed, just because I don't think Fox really ever would have any Progressive panelists.

I assume we're trying to keep some level of realism with this, but if an OP approves, that would work.

Nice chart!

I'd say we probably want a CBS or NBC type. Close enough to the middle that they can make shows with a Progressive and a moderate conservative on the same panel.

Agreed, CBS would be a great choice. Plus, unlike CNN, it's a discussion and not a shouting match. We can reserve CNN and FOX for debates maybe.

Hey, welcome and all.

So, basically we've got a major glut of big, tall, strong, young, super-successful firebrands who don't toe the party line, raised in poverty, but super intelligent and effective anyways, to the point that its kind of a meme.

I'd really suggest tuning all of those things down, a lot.

But first, as someone who's new enough to have missed the election cycle, what are some of Reed's key stances? I'd need my guy to align pretty closely with most, if not all of them, just because he's much more likely to get a Counselor position that way.

He's a moderate conservative. Anti-gay marriage is big. Also, he supports a carbon tax. Besides that, just your traditional moderate.



Reed's waaaay before anti-abortion than anti-gay marriage. He barely mentioned same-sex marriage in the campaign, just in the debate, but abortion was core for him

RL networks can be used if you want, though they're gonna be kept close to real life


Or, if you want, they can get a spot on TNS
