Well you have to have money to start your own. And if you have access to money but no control or experience running something, you can end up in the same mess that Mark Steyn finds himself in.
RE: Steyn, I thought he hitched his wagon to Levin TV, but Levin, et. al., didn't produce so Steyn sued and won. Not sure what he planned to do with the settlement, but I admit to not following it further.

I have not heard about this.
Did Steyn try to start his own You Tube channel or something?
I do know he has been in very expensive litigation with a NASA global warming scientist for many years.
