"The Real News" - Do you want a TV news network from progressives?

[Eric J in MN]

In Toronto, Canada, there is an office where progressives are planning a TV news network which would be on "Link TV" satellite and free on the internet.

It's planned to start in September. The network will be "Independent World Television" and their main program will be "The Real News."

No commercials. No govt sponsorhip. No corporate sponsorship.

However, they need money from somewhere. We need to donate to make this happen. I just made a donation.

3. Actually, I just want "real news". As in accurate, complete, and relatively unbiased.

5. I don't think founder Paul Jay is trying to create a liberal version of Fox News.

I would like it if someone would create a liberal version of Fox News, but Paul Jay seems to be interested in serious reporting.

I concur, Just the simple truth without the spin

I'm a big girl I'm able to decide what I believe and what I don't.

I don't do sheep mentality

8. They're different in that their revenue comes from a donor list, of which you can be one.

I think they capped individual donations so one billionaire can't gain a bigger voice than all the other donors simply because he donated millions of dollars each month.
