Good morning everyone! Good morning and a good afternoon to you nikos! Thank you for taking the colors up the hill one more time.

This is commentary by the RSBN staff. It explains quite a bit about the company and since we rely on their broadcasts for the most part, to watch the Trump rallies, I’m thinking the Trump Family will find the read worth their time and quite interesting, so here goes... I’m pushing the post command tab right now! Have at it folks.

Addressing Your Concerns…
2016 CAMPAIGNSTORIES
by RSBN Staff 3 days ago 109 Comments

Good day, everyone. Just wanted to post a quick update and address some of the things we have been seeing posted in the comments here.

For those wondering, we are not being funded by Donald Trump or his campaign- that’s just silly. The same kind of accusations were made not too long ago about Breitbart. Ridiculous, of course.

However, we have been actively working and are in touch with the campaign for several months now (you may have noticed our videos popping up all over Trump’s social media). At times, they may send traffic our way through Facebook, Twitter and website posts- but that’s standard procedure in politics. You show some love to those in the media who you believe have treated you fairly. Look at the Cruz campaign and The Right Scoop- it happens all the time.

At Right Side, we’re biased- and we admit it. Honesty- isn’t that refreshing?

Right Side is a brand new company. Yes, that’s right. We’re a real company registered with the State of Florida and everything!

At this time last year, we didn’t exist. It’s really been incredible at how much we’ve been able to accomplish in just 9 months. We’ve attained over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, average 25,000 daily visitors on our website and are even ranked in the top 100,000 websites in the world (71,000 or so last we checked). We’ve been on the Drudge Report at least 30 times since November of last year (quite an honor, Matt) and several popular political media websites rely on us to provide their viewers with live streaming.

To name a few:

Mediaite

The Hill

Lifezette (Laura Ingraham’s site)

The Last Refuge

So, thank you for all the support.

ISSUES WITH SOME OF OUR LIVE STREAMS

Now, to address the issue with yesterday’s live stream in Maryland: we were not hacked. We’ve never been hacked (though there have been THOUSANDS of attempts to hack into our website and sabotage our operations). Our website has some of the most advanced security features that money can buy (and that’s not cheap).

The issue yesterday was with our live stream encoder. Basically, it’s the software that takes the video (with our graphics added) from our production room and delivers that digital content to YouTube. Things are going to happen from time to time with live streaming. It’s just the way things are. However, we realize how important are broadcasts are to you all- and we take that seriously. So, we’ve purchased another encoder- the best encoder money can buy (and that’s also not cheap).

So, we will be good to go for tonight in Harrisburg.

We’re still learning as we go, folks. Remember, we’re 10 months old. We don’t have technical experts working for us- we’re just a bunch of guys and girls who are doing their best to advance a cause that we believe in. Some of us have media experience, some of us don’t. We’re not your typical media company. I guess you could call us outsiders- just like your favorite candidate for President. Outsiders who are trying to change the way things are done in the media.

RSBN CAMERAS AT LIVE EVENTS

One other thing I want to address. Many of you know (from following us on social media) that we don’t have cameras at ALL of the events. We have limited resources, folks. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to make these kind of trips across the country. Mr. Trump is the very definition of HIGH ENERGY- its hard to keep up with him.

However, we DO have cameras at some of the rallies, especially when the events are close to our home base in Florida. Also, we frequently hire freelance camera operators to shoot at the rallies. When its our cameras or camera operators working for us, we pan the crowd. Just search on our YouTube channel for Trump crowd and you’ll see several examples.

Also, another thing you need to know. Its a common practice in the media to use what is called a pool feed. To save money and resources, most networks don’t send a cameraman to every event- they use eachother’s feeds (which is why many of the live shots you see look the same on every network). One week, a CNN guy might be shooting for the pool. NBC might take the next week.

When we don’t have our own cameraman or a freelancer at one of the events, we use the AP pool feed. When that is the case, we have no control over what the camera operators do. And as you know, most of them don’t pan the crowd. Many people see this and think “Oh, Right Side isn’t showing the crowd!” Come on, folks. You know where we stand.

NEW MODERATORS ADDED:

Last thing: moderators for the comments here. We’ve just appointed some moderators here for the comments section- hopefully that will make a difference and allow your experience here to continue to be a pleasant one.

Trolls are obviously a huge problem…again, we’re learning as we go.

Thanks so much everyone for your support and for the donations. We really appreciate everything.

We are honored to be the #1 media source of the Trump Train. We’ve been here since day 1- and we’ll be here til the day Donald Trump is elected the 45th President of The United States- and beyond.

If it seems sometimes like we aren’t running our company in a professional manner, forgive us. We’re new to all this and learning as we go. Things will get better. We have high, high hopes for what RSBN can become.

Thank you all.
