Big market. All we have now is the Washington Times and the New York Sun. The Times is daily in Washington and weekly in the rest of the country. The news arrives too late, after I’ve already gotten it on the internet. The Sun isn’t available in my state.
Forget print media.
We need an internet-based medium that goes out and finds the news. Not a bunch of links like we already have (FR, Lucianne, World Net Daily, Drudge, etc).
Then we need local news. This is the catch. For local news we are stuck. We have no choice except the local liberal rag.
How about it, some of you rich Republicans? Start financing a good news source?

What we need is the wisdom, as I see it, to recognize that journalism as we know it is by design anticonservative.
Look, it is patent that I have very strong and, I hope I have demonstrated, firmly grounded logical opinions about the tendencies of journalism. They run essentially perfectly counter to the discussions you are likely to see on places like Wikipedia (which is IMHO merely a new MSM outlet). But even though there exists a "conservapedia" designed to counter Wikipedia, I have not posted to it. Why? I tried - but was defeated by the demanded format.
I actually believe that Jim Robinson has hit on a superb format for the dissemination of conservative perspective. If you are conservative and you want to see discussion of current events in which you are not bombarded by so-called "liberal" sophistry, the best way to get it is from FR. And if you think you want to be told "what is going on," you actually need to check your premises and realize that that is not realistic.
We do not have a "right to know," we only have the right to our own opinions, and to spend money at our own discretion to try to promote our opinions. And we have the implied right to access to the opinions of others (on mutually agreed-upon terms).
IMHO there is no reason why all our information cannot come to us, from the bottom up, on the Internet. We should not trust any claim of authority; we do not need it. We can talk things over and make up our own minds. Simply allowing someone to tell us "what is going on" just doesn't cut it.
