What would you think of a Democratic Underground TV hour?

[Democracy White]

If some station or channel (liberal minded of course) were to sponser such a thing?

It would be a cross between the Jon Stewert Show and MADTV, with political skits (that would be a hell of alot better than SNL). There would be an Auntie Pinko and Bob Bouldlelang (sp? I haven't been by there lately) segment as well as the Hate Mailbag and certain threads would be read on air.

So what do you think? You wanna add your own ideas and would you watch it?

1. It could be a vodcast

I went to the activism forum a while back and suggested a podcast for DU
got a lot of positive feedback, but never heard back from the mods or admins
I would do one, but want DU
legal, du understanding, and Du thoughts etc.
still think its a good idea,
vodcast is the next level and they are free. That's the video step

2. I can't afford an iPod

I was thinking of an avenue that is more readily available to the public.

Hell I have DU TV playing in my imagination on a liberal only channel which is pretty cool.

8. You don't need a iPod to make a podcast

iTunes would help and that's free at the apple site

4. ya know

I wouldn't mind at all listening to good readers reading interesting threads while I was waiting for my car to finish transporting me to work. I've heard a rumor that XM and Sirius have all sorts of bandwidth desperately in need of content. SOmebody should up and pitch it to them.

10. Like I said...

more of a cross between MAD TV and the Jon Stwert Show... we would be unapolgetic to the RWers, their spin and rhetoric. Also have some of that Blue Collar humor about RWers just as they do for liberals.

We'd have a new segment (The John Stewert part) We'd have political and non-political skits like MAD TV and then we'd have a Bob Boudland and Auntie Pinko skit as well as the Hate Mailbag, when it's available. These particular skits don't have to show up in every episode. Oh and the Top 10 Conservative Idiots would have to be on there as well.

As for the forum thingie, a thread or two would be shown on the air in a segment called "DU Speaks."

Too bad that we don't have the funds or means to do this as it would be cool if we could get it on Comedy Central or LOGO or some other liberal-friendly channel that wouldn't be afraid of us.

14. Top ten conservative idiots

Breaking news nominated,
Nominated threads
ask auntie pinko

Some of the threads in the lounge are funny as hell such as the one yesterday on "what the lounge is", I can't find that thread but the dialogue was funny as hell

6. Are there any telegenic DUers?

[jane_pippin]

7. You'd think statistically there'd have to be

[Democracy White]

11. I don't know if I would be considered telegenic

but I am sure that there would be hundreds of others.

12. Lounge vs. GD would be our "Spy vs. Spy"

Could we have a 10 minute ATA segment, sort of like the news spot on SNL?

[Democracy White]

13. Yeah that was what I was thinking...

Good idea on the GD vs. Lounge thing..
