Thanks Al Gore for the channel Current

[kerryin2004]

Just what was needed another MTV like crappy channel replacing a news source that provided unbiased news.. Something we can't find anywhere else n the right wing corporate owned media..

1. That's not a very nice thing to say.

I applaud his effort to democratize newscasting.

It's about time someone started encouraging youth participation in current affairs.

Was this complaint really worth a whole thread?

3. Have you seen it? It's one long sneaker commercial.

6. Actually, not yet.

I'm hoping to check it out in the next day or two. I like the idea, and I'm sure the execution will probably need some tweaking.

The concept is solid, though, and I think it can, and hope it will be a positive thing.

11. I seen it...

pretty freaking lame.

Al Gore was always a huge disappointment anyway.

13. YOU are one of the few peeps i know that could make some good

content for them!!!

[andyhappy]

18. I applied vigorously for a job there

and didn't hear one peep...

maybe I should send in some stuff?

I have been pretty busy since the moveon thing!

--I have lots of trouble exporting my flash stuff onto DVD without it looking like crap though.

2. I bet once the money guys got on board they started mutating it.

4. I think it might be revolutionary...

I would not want to judge in haste.

5. MTV has been doing this for years now..

plus that announcer is a square..

7. So far, I've liked it.

You like what you like, and I like what I like.

Big tent.

8. Don't you see the opportunity here?

This could really end up being the true voice of the ppl. Maybe not, but it certainly has a better chance than all the corporate owned media. Give it a chance.

9. I like what's showing on NASA TV

Wide angle shot of the Planet Earth, Live from the Space Shuttle.

I wish they had a channel that showed this ALL the time.

10. If you don't like the programming, submit your own

That's the beauty of the idea.

Kinda like Democracy, ya know? ;)

[BlueEyedSon]

12. Presumably, so can any young adult FREEPER with a camcorder

[AlGore-08.com]

16. Yes, because, like Democracy, everybody gets to speak their mind

And, also like Democracy, if you don't participate, you leave a great big vacuum that gets filled by people you don't agree with.

You gotta be in it to win it, as the saying goes.

14. we have time warner(bright house) here

in Fl and that channel was the only pplace we could get world news......there is nothing left to watch....its all the US news..completely right wing.......I'll have to spend more time on the computer......to get the news of the world other than the slanted view....

15. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 100% crap.

Not partisan? WTF does he think we need? How about BALANCE? Is that too much to frickin ask?

:banghead:

17. Again, if you don't like the programming, make your own

And if you don't have that talent, then hang out on their boards and vote for what you want to see.

If you don't, somebody else will.

[redqueen]

19. Hahahahahahaha... vote?!

You think we get to vote on what stations are allowed to operate?

:rofl:

Talent, schmalent. The deck is stacked.

I don't know what the programming is... I only know that if he thinks we don't need something to counterbalance FAUX news, he's got his head completely up his ass.
