Web Media Upstart Caters To Conservatives

By Salena Zito
Tuesday, April 10, 2007

When the public relations gurus at Quantum Communications could not find a conservative new-media network, they did what any frustrated, information-driven businessperson would do.

"We made one," said Charlie Gerow, founder of the Harrisburg-based firm.

Today, Gerow and longtime associate Jeff Lord officially began QubeTV.TV -- a unique video, photograph and social network designed especially for conservatives.

QubeTV was born on the eve of the funeral of Lord's father. While contemplating the life of his father -- a longtime conservative who held Calvin Coolidge's seat on Northampton, Mass., city council -- Lord wondered how he could honor his father through something new and fresh for the stalled conservative political movement. The next morning, he rang Gerow to talk about a "new way to communicate and share conservative politics."

*** - So basically what happened is, rather than sitting thru his father's funeral in mourning and tears, and thinking back to the good ol' days when as little tyke he taught him the basics of corporate greed and indifference, instead he sat there planning to start a new online business. Gee, I hope he didn't sketch it out the business plan the funeral program. That's just tacky.

Lord says he's interested in finding "new ways to communicate and share conservative politics." Hmmmm.

So the wars, torture, bribery, page-diddling, cronyism, violations of just about every law and ethical standard, and the general decimation of democracy wasn't enough by itself? They also want a video record of these crimes? Well, I can see a Bloggie in his future. Oh yeah.....


QubeTV Motto: "A place where blockheads can feel at home."

:argh:

1. "Qube"?
That was the name of an early Warner Bros. interactive-TV venture. I can't imagine that they'd be all too happy with the name being reused in such a similar context.

3. Well, I can see they're pulling out all the stops....






Yeah those pics will really pull them in. And w/o pandering to sex and all that T & A titillating crap like they have on YouTube. How thrilling.

Love the motto though: "Starring The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"

Finally, truth in advertising.....
