The first guest should be Inhofe. The guy has more integrity in his little finger than the entire senate put together.

Moderate the discussion - I'm so tired of watching serious discussions devolve into a shouting match. Usually its the Left that does this, to waste time b/c they can't address the issue.

Moderators should have more control over the microphone, and not be afraid to shut it off when one side tries to play that game.

Streaming can become an expensive venture. Several alternatives exist. One is 'on demand' video or audio. Several internet 'provider sources' exist for whatever the venue is.

Such a venture would take planning and financial backing. A clear plan could avoid such a venture becoming another 'Air America.'

Sounds like a good idea.

The "best" Americans who could appear on this factual news program would be the thousands of unknown, small town, America Loving citizens, most of whom are involved as leaders in their local government. They will speak for "We The People", not for their next elected office.

Keep the female anchors. Other than that, sounds good.

Idea: consider a variation of the site "paltalk" there is software out there for that and could be coupled with some chatt rooms.. Like FreeRepublic LIVE.. with a website and No bull sperm news as the leader, but interactive dialog but not with the guests, also a newsletter.

Google paltalk and can get an idea. This type of software has not even begun to be realized yet, except as chatt rooms.

I'd love to be a researcher for such an enterprise.

But O'Reilly restricts himself. He’s a cottage industry on TV, radio, and in print. He’s in entertainment first, not news. How else to explain his interview with September Harness, an Indiana University co-ed who’s marketing provocative photos of herself on the Internet without objection from the University? Of course, photos of the unclad Miss Harness (suitably obscured) were broadcast in the story. Entertainment? Yes. But news? No.

Bill O'Reilly claims to be looking out for you. Thanks but no thanks. He bullies from his bully pulpit. His research cannot hold a candle to Rush or Hannity and the collective intelligence of FR posters.

I'd give a hundred bucks to see something like that get started(and I don't care if my name is laser inscibed on one of the bricks of the new building or not). If I had a billion dollars, I would start it myself...I'm that serious..I'd leave nursing and go into the news service!

For that matter, can we get a national USA Today type rag started embodying the "No Bullsh.. News priciples"!

I'd like to see the Old grey Whore NYSLIMES given a run for its money. We would need a wire service(like AP) as well!

I like it. There is a tv program on cable that does this on products, etc. I think it is Penn and Steller or Teller or whatever. They are great. I love to watch them. They pretty much put the truth arrow through everything.

How will this show be broadcast? On the Net. More and more Americans have broadband to handle live TV. It would also be provided on satellite for cable systems.

Righttalk *PING*

Top-notch Internet research can easily establish when a statement by a public official, reporter, or network is inaccurate.

Some don't want to see even when presented with the facts. Even some on FR are like that.

I know of instances where one poster challenges another. The original poster supplies a link. The challenger replies something like, "Well, that's from a liberal publication." So??? Even liberal publications are right on occasion.

Once I asked a poster to provide a link supporting a statement he made. He replied, 'This if FR, I don't have to provide a link to support my position." lol.

A HUGH idea for your new venture is: VISUALS.
The old "picture is worth a thousand words" is soooooo true, and I cannot help but wonder why our pubbies won't capitolize on the fact.
Remember Perot with his pie charts? They did have an effect, since he was able to capture 20% of the vote, astounding for a 3rd party.
And they did lend to explanations, but I would not suggest the pie chart as a visual, more along the lines of "proving the TRUTH"

My thoughts? A hearty best of luck. But, I think the mainstream media has to die. That is the only way it can be beat. And, IMO, the only way to kill it is to ignore it.

I would love to see a FACT based interview with someone who is very knowledgeable about the United Nations and how it uses the NGO's to get little programs started that then become supported by governments, local, state and federal.

Just the honest to God truth, NO BS whatsoever!

Explain how fighting individuals and individual programs is a sure way to lose our America.

Explain how BOTH parties are supporting these programs and that the programs all find their roots in Agenda 21.

Until people realize that you can't kill the spider by removing a piece of its web each day, you MUST kill the spider to prevent it from laying more eggs which infest, slowly but surely to every part of our government.

The cure is not to go after the the programs, the cure is to go after the TOP SPONSER WHICH IS THE UNITED NATIONS.

We need to awaken the people. Certainly some of these programs do some good, but overall they remove freedoms and liberty from Americas citizens.

I'm not bad at writing essays but I'm not the worlds greatest speaker, so that's task for someone who is.

This is not going to be a simple task by any means. There is BILLIONS of dollars being spent by non profit organizations who will use every means in the book to defeat you before you're even started.

My recommendation is to get it all worked and then with no warning broadcast it on half a dozen different frequencies. Keep them small so they can get out the "who to call, who to write to, etc., for more information.

Be prepared for different servers to go down for no reason (equipment failures). Be ready to fire up another one in a few minutes.

Expect 'snitches' to get into the works, so treat this as "TOP SECRET" and don't tell anyone any more than necessary.

I have a few names that I'll give you as who I think can be trusted. The final choice will be yours.

If you are serious about doing this I will contribute to help pay the costs.

I dumped tv over seven years ago. When I am occasionally exposed to network and local "news" programs, it is literally funny. Oh, and it's not news. It's ALL entertainment, even Fox.

If I want to know what's going on, I don't waste my time with "push" media, who filter the news. I "pull" it off the internet and get the stories that interest me - as opposed to co-ed's posting their picture on the internet.

In a sense, we are living out "Fahrenheit 451," but it is voluntary.
