I'm Thinking of Starting a News Organization...

[nate895]

so that we can have a news source that truly is fair and balanced. We'll cover all the candidates from both sides that have reached the threshold of $5000 from 20 states from donations of $250 or less (this way we can cover candidates who aren't total jokes).

We would start out solely on the internet, eventually expand to a magazine when we've received enough profit to start a print shop of our own, and maybe eventually we can become a TV station.

The trouble is a name.

We need Ted Turner on board, he was robbed by the zionists, and he's got the savvy and is plenty pissed-off.

I like the name "Liberty News Network" myself, or LNN for short. I was originally gonna say "Liberty News Group," LNG, but that apparently already exists somewhere.

I've been thinking about that myself since I can not stand to watch FOX and the only time I can tolerate MSNBC is when they have Pat Buchanan.

We need a Libertarian Channel with a Libertarian News Network and Libertarian debates. The Libertarian candidates are diverse and need some air time!

That's good. Here are couple of other ideas that I'd like to throw out:

1. Constitutional News Network.

I like that one because it's specific but unfortunately, CNN is already taken. Maybe just Constitutional News?


2. We The People News (WTPN)

I like this one better because it's subtle and it would reflect the fact that the network hasn't been infultrated by special interests and it really is a network by, for, and of the people.

I like this one so far...also I would like to help in any way possible.........

Ted Turner is also a total liberal, plus if we start out small, we can work our way up on our own earning it.

(I'm also pro-Israel/zionist, I just don't think the US Government should be involved)

I like Liberty News, and it is an available domain.

As for Libertarian, I was looking for a pro-Constitutionalist Editorial area, with the news being unbiased.

I should have noted that Constitutional News Network was my first thought, and then realized that was CNN.

Good idea. Liberty News Networks sounds fine.

I'm wondering if anyone on the forums is good enough at web design to make it look more like politico and less cheesy like libertynews.us

 

[JGalt]

how about Constitution News Group, CNG? or Constitution News Channel, CNC?

 

[nate895]

Before we go out to buy a domain name, we should get a list of contributers and someone who can make the website look like a professional runs it, and not a 4th grader.

All those who are willing to become a contributer, post that here, as well as someone to become the webmaster.

I think a webmaster plus 10 contributers should be enough to start out.

I'm fairly darn good with graphics. PM me and I'll make everything you need.

I'll be happy to invest in the project, but it needs to be a corporation, with a mission statment and a board of directors. Anyone buying stock should receive voting power commensurate with their investment.

I would suggest that we incorporate with 10,000 shares at $5 per share. I, too, like a name, that is Perpetual Freedom News, or PFN.

After we get Ron Paul in the White House we can start some "money bombs" to jump start the network on the air! Once the Network is established Patriots watching should enable this to sustain on it's own since most of our population is fed up with the MSM!

I like the idea, how do we do that? At $5 a share I could buy 50 off the bat.

 

[IcyPeaceMaker]

Our first order of business is to come up with a mission statment.

Second, we should incorporate.

Third, we sell stock in this "non-profit" news network.

Fourth, we should get someone familiar with printing, presses and distribution of magazines on board.

The mags can be sold to jump-start the business until we can get enough money to acquire an FCC license for broadcasting, then move on to producing PBS specials and ultimately buying air time to spread the word in primetime.

I was thinking to start on the Internet, then move into print, but I think we can do both if we can get the $50,000 from the shares.

The mission statement should be fairly easy, maybe a paragraph.

I rather like Perpetual Freedom News Network (PFNN). Forever Free News Network (Fuck Fox News Network by our beloved online community, FFNN)
