Get plugged in to Internet Television

See Part 1 Here:

It's my vision that the Internet, if it remains free and open,
will allow the simple replacement of the corporate behemoth
news and entertainment outlets with independent content. It
exists now, but the ease of use is an issue as well as the
less evolved production value at present.

That combined with the fact that cable news and Fox in
particular, has become so blatantly corrupted and a laughing
stock, there's a chance people will (as in a free market) stop
watching them. Ultimately, money is the corporate news be all
and end all. If revenue drops as viewership matures and leaves
corporate news behind they will either evolve or die. Right?

That is, if this were a true free market system. What will
likely happen is the self proclaimed government hating right
wing will use government to clamp down on the Internet and
stifle the competition. As it does with everything of real
value. Because what we are is more a Corporatocracy than a
Democracy.

PASS IT AROUND Here's the code to share The Frank Factor:

1. On SCTV Network, it's Jerry Todd!
Seriously, shouldn't this stuff be a simple text file rather than a video presentation? He was talking over the heads of 90 percent of the people here.

2. Well, it's Not Red State Update but I Really Liked it
I'm going to try it out. At least 10% of us might get something out of it, and that's potentially a lot of people. I guess that's just 4 minutes you'll never get back. That valentine to Hillary kinda made me want to shoot myself in the face but what the heck...

3. Hey thanks for that.
I wasn't familiar with Miro, but I now am.

Also, I dig your show. Keep it up!
