64. there's no shortage of
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 01:14 AM by Zan_of_Texas
people who love to do investigative reporting.

I'm one. And I love it more than eating, but somehow I've got to buy those pesky groceries too.

I was just commenting at another site the other day -- the writing and research on the web is SO much better than what we pay for in the daily papers, and let's not even mention tv news.

I was mulling over the thought that Move-on pays millions for ads -- why not buy something with it?

It's almost like the left needs a Public Works Project or something -- we rarely have gobs of money, just talent, and we need it to be put to work big time, building infrastructure for us, so we can move forward. Media infrastructure is especially crucial.

Yet, right now, a few hundred or few thousand people are carrying a huge burden of supporting websites, and doing the kinds of things Bev Harris and others are doing. Others may be sending psychic messages of support, but that doesn't pay the health insurance bill.

I'd like for us to be able to build a web of easily accessible real information and commentary.

One way would be to further refine the radio schedule that was listed above. Then, we could leverage those shows, to get word of more content out. Radio is cool because it doesn't require paper or any more distribution than already exists. And it's free to listeners.
