WE NEED A FRIGGIN' PROGRESSIVE TV NETWORK
OK, now I feel better. Once we get a real progressive tv news network, we can let Jon Stewart alone and hammer away at the Repubs and RW'ers with reality and truth. Until we get this network, we can rage away in impotence. I will gladly chip in some money but I have no expertise in getting one started.

1. IMO
IMO, we need an INDEPENDENT tv network that isn't beholden to special interests/corporations/political parties/entertainment industry.

2. Hey, Check Out World News Trust
It's a progressive independent news media project by a group of DU'ers and others.

We're focusing on text at this point, with plans for radio and TV. We're only getting started, but a 24/7 TV news station is one of our goals. We've received a lot of interest in the project.

We're constructing a web site at:

WorldNewsTrust.org.

5. Don't you know,
all the MSM has huge "librul" bias, except of course Fox, which is fair and balance and doesn't favor either side;) ;)

9. Was going to make same comment.
FSTV is an excellent resource. LINK also has some good programs. I saw a newscast on one or the other by Liberty News - told it the way I see it, at least.

FSTV is only available through DISH - I don't know about LINK. I chose DISH simply because it does not belong to R Murdoch, yet. Didn't know about FSTV until I was hooked up. Wish it would go to cable, too. Many more people need access to their programming.

11. I Noticed About 25 Visitors To The WNT Site In The Last Two Hours
From a link to WNT on the CU site. I was only dimly aware of the CU site before this.

Oh well, you know the old saying: any press is good press. : )

12. This Place Is Still Wasting Bandwidth?
First, how original can a criticism be from a website that attempts to be a poor attack on another one? IIRC, this place was set up by some disgruntled DUers or trolls...they tried PMing some of us to come on over and join them.

Well, you're on their radar, so you must have their interest. Say good, say bad...just say.

Cheers!

16. Hiya Tace...Keep Up The Good Work
I'm here just watching the conventional broadcast world implode on itself and the digital one emerging. Keep up the good work...maybe you can preen some good stuff from the lurkers (just don't let them know it...LOL).

Cheers!

14. That would not be progressive news, that would
Be tabloid, not that I am against having a tabloid show on the network. News should be factual.

15. Hi Lala
Yeah, comedy is great... but some truthful, factual news is the idea. Cheers
