Glenn Beck has been developing a web-based program and news organization.. gbtv.com or theblaze.com is his network. He talks about things in his daytime broadcast at 2pm PST / 5pm EST the mainstream media would dare not discuss for fear of upsetting their boss, Hussein 0bama. Beck is his own boss, so anything is game and it’s very refreshing. He’ll be talking about the Sandy Hook massacre tomorrow and discussing the REAL problem which are today’s children, not guns and I agree 100%. Will be watching!
The problem with Glen Beck’s properties is that, they are already viewed as biased with right-wing opinion, no matter how much fact-based the content might be. He is seen as a polarizing figure with an agenda that doesn’t fit what the left-wingers feel meets their views or needs.
What I have in mind, would not fit any single agenda or any set of views. I’s intended to be a collection of all views, so that people can finally see what other people are thinking, without having to jump through many other media sources. Neither I nor anyone else would have control of the content or the views. What becomes available on the site, would come from as many media sources, and it would be up to them to provide the content.
I would also provide a means to join discussions regarding an article or commentary that appears on the site. All forums and discussion sites would be welcome too.
As an example, he current issue of the “fiscal cliff” could have hundred of articles appearing on the site, with the source indicated, and a series of forums or discussion sites which might be participants in discussing the issue, and as an example, Free Republic and Huffington Post would have entries or links at the end of an article, which would take the reader to any of those discussions. Thus, the articles would be representative of a broad swath of reporting and commentaries, while the discussion sites would allow the readers to go and express their views/feelings on their preferred forums. The intent is to present the news and information, and to then take the reader to the “opinion” pages of the issues.
