It looks quite interesting.

Of course, in the long run, I think that we can only get reliable news by expropriating the press and communications and putting them under democratic workers' control, but The Real News does look interesting nonetheless.

Absolutely right, Axel. You can probably recall what happend in Venezuela back in 2002, as portrayed in that excellent fim, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. It was crucially important to control the public TV channel.

But it is getting from here to there that is the killer.

Indeed. This site is interesting, but I am wondering if it will last and how long. Over here in the US, we aren't even at the stage of having a traditional working class party, so we do have a way to go, but things can erupt very quickly.

You are right once more, Axel.

You saw how quickly things moved in the 1930's in the US with unionisation.

There is a massive amount of anger and frustration building in the US; let's hope it gets channelled in the right (er... left!) direction!

That looks really neat!

If they get a channel within the next five years that would be awsome.

Yeah, it's one of the most promising developments in the media for years.

Make sure you pass the link on to your friends; the more views it gets the higher up the league it goes and the more plays it gets, and so on.
