ATTENTION.......Calling Ted Turner


Mike Webb(KIRO RADIO Seattle)said last night that the only way at this point in time we are ever going to get our message out about the CRAPPOLLA and lies that are taking place in the this administration is for us to have our own TV network.........He said we could have disturbances like WTO in Seattle and probably never get the media to cover it with any truth.


So I am calling on Ted Turner to help us out.......I think it would be cool to see Turner and AAR work together on this format....


What do you think

1. I thought Gore was just about ready to go with a cable news network?

4. Gore's network is not news, it's not liberal. It's youth-oriented.

2. Let's start writing to Turner.
What ever happened to that "Gore TV" thing?

7. Turner, Soros, Kennedy and other big-money liberals
need to pool their resources and take over a major news outlet.

Maybe some of the Hollywood types, Robbins, Penn, Sheen, Sarandon, Baldwin...along with contributions from regular private citizens like you and me can join the project.

I'll glady contribute what I can to have a news outlet that is not state controlled and prone to reporting the lies and slanted bullshit that the current media is feeding the public right about now.

8. It would. And that's EXACTLY why BFEE set Ted up to lose in the AOL deal.
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 01:55 PM by blm
Turner lost a few billion within a year. Steve Case had used bogus numbers to make the TIME/Warner purchase.

Case got a slap on the wrist from Bush's SEC and DOJ. I have no doubt it was a set up for BushInc cronies to gain more control over the media.

9. Exactly....the AOL/TWX deal was key in taking Turner out
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 01:57 PM by Al-CIAda
Now Steve Case is sipping coctails in luxury on his Hawaiian pineapple farm.

11. That's FAR too good for Steve Case.
He's a traitor to this country.

12. A TV network would be great but
doesn't talk radio have more listeners than the cable news networks have viewers? Randi Rhodes says she already reaches more people than does Fox News. Ideally, there would be a liberal voice in ALL media, of course. You don't exist in this culture unless you're on TV.
