Operation: Free Speech

[LibertiORDeth]

This is a continuation of my thread "good idea?".
This thread is intended for the discussion of an idea I came up with, and if successful, could have astounding results.
Although the intended goal is for a fully functioning television station, website, and magazine, the plan is to start with a website, either in the form of a news site or a blog. This is NOT going to be a Ron Paul fan site, although it will be from a truly conservative viewpoint. This is going to be tentatively titled "Operation: Free Speech".
If you would like to be involved, let me know.

We currently have:
One General Administrator
One Chief Programmer
One Programmer

Some possible permanent names include:
Liberty News Network
Truthful News Network

Please submit your ideas, thoughts, and suggestions.

Edit:
The official forum for Operation: Free Speech is

If we can raise close to $20 million in 3 months, I think we can raise a substantial amount of money towards purchasing a cable channel. i.e. Spike, DOC, FUSE, etc.

Once the viewership explodes, the money and respect will follow, FOX, CNN, ESPN all did it.

There is already such a "free speech" TV-Channel:

What is this site like? From what viewpoint? And who heads it up/writes for it?

[Matthew Zak]

Wow this idea keeps popping up... I love it.

Yeah, you just proved the point, your link reported nothing about Dr. Paul.

[integrity]

Wow this idea keeps popping up... I love it.

it should be set up as a corporation, and we all invest (buy stocks) and no single entity should own more than say .01% of the stocks.

regular stockholders meetings (us) choose the direction of the company. We get only honest corporate sponsors who will not influence the programming.

[XelR8r]

NO government funding
NO corporate funding
NO advertising
NO STRINGS
NO RELEVANCE!

DONTNATE TO THE REAL NEWS

[Oliver]

Yeah, you just proved the point, your link reported nothing about Dr. Paul.

No, my point was that this is a new but pretty
good equipped Network - probably with millions
of Dollars in it.

And you Guys seriously think to establish something
similar - probably in 2 months, without any knowledge
and people running it?

I wonder when a thread appears asking for
a Ron Paul Space station - or at least satellites
to air the Ron Paul Channel all around the globe.

Sorry for my sarcasm.

My idea precisely, although we need to start a website and gain some popularity.

Who said we need to reinvent the wheel?

The satellites are already in orbit, how do you think G3 or SPIKE can broadcast with very few viewers?

GEEZ, the gays just launched their own channel, and we can't?

lets do it. then we need to draft up the bylaws and articles of incorporation, choose a president and secretary, put shares of stock up for sale to freedom loving persons.

Jump on the bandwagon people, its rolling away!

[LibertiORDeth]

I'm sure there are web programmers on here.

[Oliver]

PEOPLE!

Serious: Even if we had 10,000 Ron Paul News-Stations,
nobody would know about it!!!

How do you promote such an channel - how do you
get audience who never heard the name Ron Paul???

EXACTLY!: You wont achieve anything but ridiculing
the whole Grassroots movement into a laughing stock.

I'm not kidding here.

I build TV stations everyday. Its my profession. Building a News channel is very difficult. The equipment is easy, the content is hard. The content is very very hard.

Best idea is to build a Digg of YouTube contributors who are vetted journalists and put a few pretty heads around it. A nice graphical front end and offices in countries 8 hour apart. Then you need to be able to gain copyrights of everything in the videos.

Next you have to create the 24 hour stream then you have to link it between countries. So now you have a 3mb Mpeg4 stream bouncing around. Now you have to pay Cable companies to carry the signal.

Its not a huge deal but you have to get a lot of volunteer reporters around the world to get their own broadcast equipment and go into war zones etc. and link the stories back faster than CNN can.

I will be pitching a new global news network in Tennessee in March actually. PM me for info.

We don't really need to get the news faster then anyone else, I think the slant of the news is just as important. If we can air national/international news at the same time as the ONM(old news media), with a conservative slant instead of a socialist one, people will be willing to watch it, knowing that all the news we air will be honest.

This isn't going to be a Ron Paul news station, although it will be one he would probably approve of, since it is going to be from a truly conservative viewpoint.
In the ONM the choices are between:
Neo Con Stations
Liberal Stations
Socialist Stations
OFS will be unique, in that it is not going to be owned by the elite who want to spread the NWO.

[Oliver]

We start with a website, and gain popularity.

And how do you promote the website? :rolleyes:
It's unrealistic and a waste of money and energy.
You want Paul's name out? Do what everyone does
for now:
BUY! airtime. And it's cheaper!
Free markets, you remember??? :confused::confused::confused:

This isn't just to promote RP to presidency. In fact, the television part of it will probably not be up and running till after the election.

And I already said there is such an unbiased
News-Caster already. Already. Already running.
What's so hard to understand about that?

http://www.therealnews.com/web/index.php

And no. I know that they're no "Ron Paul Cheering
News network". We don't need another O'Reilly
channel cheering any biased "memos"...

I just checked out what someone had previously pointed out, and as they said, Ron Paul is not mentioned on the entire site. If they really are "fair", at least SOMETHING involving him would be newsworthy. *cough* 6.4 Million Dollars in one day *cough*
As I asked before, who is behind the site? What views do the editors/ journalists/owners have? Can you give me some more information about them?

I'm potentially interested, I'm a web designer and programmer. I am a little busy with a couple of projects, including a "secret" project for the grassroots which is just starting, but go ahead and send me a PM and we can talk about it.

I'll see what I can work into my schedule. :)

[Bacon]

I'm a web designer/ developer. I really like the sound of this project, I'm definitely interested in getting something started.

Hit me up and let me know what I can do.

I need a good night's rest before I can be of any use to any project. I'm not sure what I could do to help, either.. I'm a thinker, not so much a doer. lol ;)

[LibertiORDeth]

Bump after several months. Both programmers dropped out on me, and I am still interested in the project, maybe something in tandem with Live_Free_Or_Die's project. My idea right now is to create a website that allows users to upload videos, with a disclaimer on the site saying that we are not responsible for what is posted, so basically a freedom/news version of Youtube.
