We honestly need to start our own news. The so called MSM is all opinion, not much facts. It's our opinion over theirs. Its become apparent to all of us that it is all a farce. I've been thinking about this, and the hardest thing would be getting Journalist. They would have to be new, not establishment shills. But than there's the question of access, they won't let a young person with an iPhone interview them. But in the beginning they must of found themselves in this position. The first newsperson had to figure it out. I keep thinking of the first newspapers, how did they do it. If this could be done, it would change everything, so far, the old newspapers have gone online and conformed to the opinion is everything, facts are nothing doctrine. People who want to tell the truth will come forward, but I think it would be a really difficult feat.
I need your feedback. thank you.

(146,317 posts)The Internet is wonderful, but it also encourages splintering. News is tough. Finding an audience large enough to make a difference is even tougher. And then, there's the problem of gathering actual news to publish. Taking it from other sources doesn't seem to be the answer. Real news requires real reporting, real interviews with people, and real access to events. That takes people, and lots of them.
A nationwide or global news site with real reporting and real newsgathering is a very, very expensive proposition, and skilled news people aren't easy to come by.
It's a good idea, but will be very hard to create in a way that attracts people to come and use it for their news source.
I agree totally , that's the problem, that's the ?. Thanks for your input
