19. Why would a commentator "put together" a news organization?

25. Oprah Winfrey has put together an organization based on what
she did on her own show.

Why wouldn't he?

5. I read that he wanted
To start something Like Huffington Post, but with more hard news (instead of celebrity gossip) and less crazy people peddling pseudo-science.

20. I'm with you. But I think KO knows that there are many of us who
follow him who would be left out at that rate. He would see it as undemocratic to leave those who could not afford it out. If he starts something like this he will find a way to keep it open to all.

6. I can't afford much money. I'm mostly on SS here, however,
I will certainly support it by making sure I go to the website every day and participating in any way I can.

Here's an idea though. I would like to see live video streaming of some news shows with podcasts available for those who can't watch them live. Maybe eventually he can build a 24/7 news channel on-line just like Ted Turner built CNN thirty years ago. Who needs cable news?

27. I hope he gets it on radio. We have ZERO progressive radio in San Diego;
all 100% right wing crazies -- and people wonder why the area is more conservative countywide? The city however has voted blue in the most recent elections, mostly - voted for Obama and elected Dem majority on the Council. So we really need radio for the many here who can't stand conservative rants.

Please, Keith, start a liberal radio network that is interesting and informative to unbrainwash the masses! Maybe also have some sports, to really attract a wide following. :->>>>

28. K&R for Keith
Wherever he shows up next - we'll be there.

A REAL news organization would be refreshing after years of the corporate controlled propaganda dreck we've been expected to swallow.

35. He'll probably wind up on a new cable network.
I'm not positive, but there is definitely a demand for it.
