OK, assume such a network were launched.  Other than news and talking heads, what would we want on?  Ozzie and Harriet reruns or Ozzie Osbourne's reality show?  Reruns of JAG or a new series based on what was actually in Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan books? 

Or, more seriously, how about educational stuff?  How about real history, based on what happened, not what PC prejudices tell us we should say happened?

Now, moving further from fantasy, what's to stop this community from starting to actually produce things that we would actually like to see if such a network existed?  Start with documentaries made on hand held video cameras about real events that the drive by media aren't covering, such as the Code Pink harassment of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed.  Or a historical retrospective on John Kerry's real record.  And we don't have to wait for a mega network to launch.  There are plenty of outlets for such material, starting with HotAir.

I actually think this is the next step for conservative activism on the net.  Video podcasts of alternative news stories that the DBM refuses to cover.  We've all seen how things have hit You Tube or some other net outlet and become phenomenon that the DBM then takes notice of.  We need to start doing this in an organized fashion.  What better place to start than here?
