Is it that threatening that people are organizing a media outlet for this viewpoint and have apparently found funding for it? Or does the threat arise from the idea that they may have an audience bigger than their board?

It's not threatening at all. This is only the latest attempt to try and sell the leftist viewpoint via media to America as a whole, and each of them have fallen into the crapper.

These people are smug about how "non-commercial" they are, but the fact is that even if they wanted to, they couldn't raise a large enough audience to find advertisers. They're supported by various foundations and sugar daddies, and always will be.

More power to them. It's a free country. If their audience winds up bigger than their board, it ain't going to be by much.

As far as their politics go, I could run through the list and winkle out the collectivist viewpoints of each one, but what would it prove? You honestly think there are any moderates, let along conservatives, involved in this?

Whatever you might say about broadcasters like Rush Limbaugh, he never pretends to be "balanced." This so-called "independent" news outfit is going to toe the line of the leftist agenda all the way down the road.

Read the prospectus. Track the connections. How do YOU think this is going to turn out?

In addition, the idea that somehow our current sources of information have been concentrated to the point where there are no alternative is ridiculous. Don't any of these people have a computer?
