The problem is complaining without doing anything to change this situation. Follow me here. We are a popularity based society. In other words we listen, tune in and follow these overpaid, in most cases un-knowledgeable pundits and sadly believe their words have more weight than our own. I have no idea why?

Instead of supporting Independent voices who are on podcast, radio stations, smaller TV channels or elsewhere in the media cyber-sphere, we continue to watch these.....idiots. It's time to change the message, you think?

This election proved that America is ready for true Progressive and Independent minded voices on our radio, podcast and TV airwaves. We are tired of "overpaid pundits" tell us how to vote, think, what to believe, not to believe, which issues are important or unimportant. Instead we WANT voices WE CAN connect with because they're average folks, like us.

Today, on Melissa Harris Perry show, she was talking about why Michigan failed to pass Proposal 2-The Collective Bargaining Agreement. Now this is what was funny....no, downright hilarious about this discussion. Not ONE PERSON on the panel was from Michigan.

Umm...no offense, but if your show is going to analyze why Proposal 2 failed but Proposal 1 - The Emergency Manager Law (Public Act #4) was defeated, you need to have someone in the trenches of Michigan's Political scene to truly discuss the "why so" on Proposal 2 failure. Instead, I saw the same old tired overpaid pundits discussing something they had NO IDEA about.

Anyway, I have a podcast that receives about 15K downloads a month and I'm looking to add two good Independent and/or Progressive minded co-hosts who want to be involved in what I believe is the future of "talk radio". A wide, respectful discussion of views about our political climate from the average American point of view. The podcast has been active for about two years now.

Either way, I need serious thinkers who analyze issues impacting our economy and nation, then allowing the PEOPLE to decide what should be the final solution. People want more than "overpaid" pundits telling them "what to think".

If interested, send me a P.M. on D.U. for more details!
