There are enough news and political junkies on this website alone that we should put together our own "newspaper of record" -- but without the paper.
Real online news.
I'm so frustrated with broadcast news, network news, the newspapers, and most certainly radio.
We could have it up and running by 2008.
We report the facts.
We write the opinions & editorials.
And we let the people decide.
I'm talking about a no spin newspaper.
We report facts and we provide links in the articles.
We could let reporters be reporters.
We could specialize in investigative reporting.
Below each article would be a comment section for bloggers and opinions. Or better yet, a link to DailyKos blogs on the topics.
Clearly there is some "spin" involved simply by selecting the news that gets reported, but my goal would be to present news and let the readers decide whether it is important or not.
Wouldn't you like to watch a news show without having to listen to some lame opinion.
Now, I like Olbermann because I think he is funny and because I think he is saying things many of us wish we could scream out.
A front page with not just national news, but with international news -- something most of Americans don't see unless we read things like the BBC and London Times and Guardian sites.
Yeah, yeah. I'm dreaming. I know. But I would like to hear the results tonight without having to listen to the Republicans spin how massive Democratic wins are really losses because we should have taken more seats or because now we are going to be obstructionists, or whatever B.S. are on their talking point list for tonight.
Yeah, yeah. I'm dreaming, but I'm bored waiting for results.
