I will send money to whatever org. is buying REAL news channels.
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 07:18 PM by blm
AND THAT IS MY BOTTOM LINE.

Anything else is becoming a waste.

I wonder if those who want to do it are falling short in the cash outlay department. (Hint for ya' Al Gore.)

2. INdTV

And they insist that it's not a news channel, and it's not a political channel. It's a lifestyle channel for the MTV set. So don't get your hopes up on that front.

9. I've rethought this. Gore is probably just staying low-keyed about it
because anything he does gets mocked so openly by the corporate mediawhores. He may be misdirecting the attention for now.

5. World News Trust
A team of DU'ers has been working for the past two years to buy a cable channel for 24-hour news programming. We have the support of some heavy-hitters. I don't want to give details at this time, but I'll keep DU readers posted. Cheers -- Francis Goodwin, WNT project manager.

7. Why not float it with a public stock offering? I am sure that a lot
of Progressives would pony up for a real alternative to main stream media.
