I watch it occasionally because the idea intrigues me (normal folks using DV cameras doing stories on what interests them)

I will say this, (and when you think about it, it really is sad) I have seen two pieces buy obvious amateurs who reported on a controversial story and presented almost no bias and managed to get a good deal of info presented while keeping it entertaining and et both sides present their story unfiltered. I can't tell ya the last time I seen such a thing on the MSM news report.

I wonder if maybe this is not the next logical step after blogs? Not necessarily AlGore TV but citizen reporters with DV cams and a comp producing news stories and Bypassing the MSM.

All that is needed is a network that is willing to show it or maybe a website that does media on demand.

I don't get the show but I do think the concept is interesting. Actually for some time I've thought that with cheap digital video it would be possible to create a new television news channel, sort of a Free Republic TV.

As broadband becomes ubiquitous and faster, new Internet TV channels become piratical.
