Hey Illinois DUers..........

I live in Illinois, Peoria to be exact. And a friend of mine is thinking about starting a website, he want me to help him. It will be a website to report on all the lies the right-wing idiots say on tv and radio, and probably in newspapers and magazines too.

Like a one stop shop to see all the lies and spin these right-wing idiots on tv and radio put out. So I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to volunteer to send in some comments once in a while so I can add them to the website.

As in listen to your local right-wing radio guy and write about what he is saying, maybe do a once a week report on them, or something like that. And if you want to, comment on Rush or Savage or Hannity or Beck or O'Reilly, or anyone you want to.

I'm checking to see if I can get a volunteer for Illinois, and I will try to get one for each state. Then have a state by state listing on the website. So can I get a volunteer from Illinois, I'll check back later to see if anyone says yes.

And we have not decided if we are going to do the website yet, I just want to see if I can get any volunteers.

1. Does "Media Matters" already do that or would this one be different?

2. Would this be just for Illinois liars?
Otherwise, mediamatters has it covered.

4. Media Matters

MM does a good job, but they miss a lot of right-wing lies and hate. So I think it would be a good idea, count me in.

3. A "Viewing Room" Or "Listening Room"
I think it'd be fun to have a website where you can pop on and catch things as their happening. If something pops up on MSNBC or on Air America or even on hate radio, there's a place to catch transcripts and chat about it. I know that would be a tremendous amount of work, but it'd be neat to hear something or see something and have some place to discuss it in real time.

Good luck...
