Gee, since Ron said he was going to be doing web programming first Beck announces his, then Washington Times does.

Do you think 'the message' is what they will give out, or a few ruffles on their shirt to collect those attracted otherwise to the message?

The operative word being "we" - NOT the MSM ...

Beck is doing more than Foxnews.

Judge has to roam from show to show. Stossel is stuck on the business network.

The Washington Times is pretty good. And they have money to put into it. Why do you think this will be bad?

They may throw libertarians a bone (even Fox does that w/ Stossel and previously w/ Freedom Watch) but this doesn't sound like something I would label "libertarian news network". FTA:

The intent is to provide credible news and thoughtful analysis for “viewers with self-described independent, conservative and libertarian values,” Mr. Herring said.

So yes they used the word libertarian and I'll be happy if my pessimism is proved wrong, but remember that the likes of Sean Hannity and Bill Maher will sometimes refer to themselves as "libertarian".

Who owns the Washington Times? Not libertarians. So what are they going to do to the libertarian message?

[RandJob]

This is just another example of the LAME STREAM media trying to corrupt the libertarian movement by adding a bunch of corporate money. I bet their anchors are all diversity hires.

[cajuncocoa]

Here we go again....another attempt to destroy the meaning of the word "libertarian".

I don't read it but I've often heard they were cheerleaders for the Iraq War. Then again, people say a lot of things
