They’ve changed the name. And will be changing the name across thier site over the next couple days. Good for them.

Good questions, but I don’t get Fox News on my cable lineup. Or CNN, thank God.

Is it true that the left thinks the right is only entitled to one news network, one D.C. paper and no web sites? I know they’re always trying to ‘help’.

Drudge tells me zilch about the Whys of the Media Blackout and Bias re The Riots in France AND in several other countries simultaneously. Nor does it collect media citations along with blog quotes and cites in one place. Nor does Drudge host blogjams..

But we’re only a week into it. Anyone who insists on coming to grand conclusions at this point or sooner has/had an agenda.

Eileen, J.D. - just for you, Geek.

A) Foxnews; or

B) Drudge?

In such a good mood in spite of…

Here’s a word to ‘help’ the lefties, like you’re always trying to ‘help’ the rest of us. Call it a little gratis gravitas or vice versa.. If ya’ll would devote 57/63 of the time (not an accurate count, tony, but who’s counting - and which is a helluva lot better representation than we get in reverse via the MSM) and energy you expend criticizing, pointing and laughing, cutting and running and just generally trying to tear things apart, you might actually accomplish something.

Or maybe you need a manager? Sometimes, just sometimes, they’re helpful. Pool your resources, eh?

Meanwhile, here’s the remote so you can click off. Just trying to ‘help’ soothe your fevered brows…

We invaded Iraq bacause of the 9/11 connection… nope make that the WMD… nope, make that regime change… nope, make that defying UN resolutions…

Open Source Media gave up their name… nope, they gave us permission… nope, we forgot to check… nope, we’re actually called OSM now… etc

Nice to see you, kat.

You must be alternating between OSM and Harry Potter to keep up with the latest, eh?

I’m willing to take a wait and see attitude. Apparently you and your brethren on the left aren’t. Yawn. How many times and ways am I not surprised any more.

Conservatives are well-known for their willingness to sink money into long-term projects like think-tanks and newspapers that lose money year after year; because they understand the importance of having a solid media platform from which to push their agendas.

I think they are attempting to get away from being openly bias, like FOX or ClearChannel, in order to regain some of the credibility that the right-wing has so thoroughly lost in this past year.

It will take them some time, but with 3.5 million dollars behind them… I’m sure someone will come up with the right mix eventually.

I’ve been thinking that would make the basis of a really interesting essay i just haven’t had time write

similarities?

- not enough troops / poor preparation
- overconfidence in technology and “new paradigms”
- “Old Europe” vs. “Althouse has jumped the Shark”
- reliance on cronies & no-bid contracts
- “shock and awe” launch party
- hype based on bad intelligence
- a “go it alone” approach (bruising potential allies and creating ill will)
- easy to launch, hard to manage the blowback / insurgency
- a “cakewalk” & “we’ll be greeted as liberators” : ideological idee-fixees as substitutes for a solid post-invasion plan

etc.

next you’ll be telling me Reynolds is a libertarian.

and Eileen, sweetie, the reason that OSM is topping the charts at Technorati is cuz we’re all laughing and pointing.

do yourself and click some of those links.

the only success story from OSM is it’s made the previously obscure Dennis the Peasant a hit.

I think it’s funny that a so-called “graphic designer” couldn’t come up with a better design for the Open Source Media site than the current eyesore.

I think it’s funny that a group of people who openly support the mess in Iraq have brought forth a mess of their own. Any conclusions here?

And if it does survive, and becomes an all conservative thing, here’s my suggestion for the name: Parrot Media

I have an idea for OSM. Attach a message board discussion forum to it. You’ll get so much traffic you won’t know what to do. Just appoint some trusted lizardoids as moderators and you’ll be in business!

Yeah, that’s the ticket…

OSM is currently the top search topic at Technorati. http://technorati.com/

Open Source is an old business model(free content + ads) applied to a new industry (software). Old media was open source, why the hell are they using it to describe the future?
