1. Only a very small portion of their programming could be considered news,
though. It seems mostly geared to lifestyle shows.

2. I'd be wary
With all due respect to Gore, the promise of indtv was ruined a while back. What was supposed to be a grass roots tv news network is now just a mess, with mainstream network execs running the show. A lot of early contributors feel like their work and ideas have been ripped off.

4. Better than nothing, I'm still excited though.

Could it be possible to have less actual news than all the the networks combined?

One half an hour of the Daily Show is more powerful than the "news networks".

5. Yep.......
and I hope that each and every one of us with access to a video camera and an idea gets involved.

It sure beats opening a vein in a 'Rant' thread on DU.

This is an actual chance to DO something.

6. It's a great concept
Just read a little recent history first, for your own sake...

7. One ounce of truth is worth a ton of manure.
I'm still excited.

8. Ever see the Simpson's episode
where the kids go to Camp Krusty and find that it's actually run by some guy named Mr. Black?

I'm just sayin'.

9. Gore is still involved, don't kill this before it even airs.
I will be excited until I see differently.

10. I'm tellin' ya
he ain't that involved. They've also been saying that they're "launching" soon for a couple of years now.

I've been by their office space several times. There are some hip aluminum chairs and tables, a new Mac at the reception desk, and absolutely nothing going on.

The only reason I have my doubts is because I was excited as you when I first heard about it--then severely disappointed.
