The New Media: And it's not Glen Beck!

The new media is just getting started.  You will see a new group of journalists emerging from behind the scenes, including myself.  With The News UNIT Blogspot I'm trying to give several of the "behind the scenes journalists" exposure here and it would be good to bookmark them from various YOU TUBE channels.


Those of us who have a real passion for good honest journalism do not have the multi-billion dollar backing of big business that pay the Katie Couric types several million dollars each year to spew propaganda and live a lavish lifestyle.  Are they really that worthy of reward?


Those of us unknown journalists resort to much toil and labor behind the scenes hoping to scrape up a $20 donation to go out and buy some fuel for the car, bananas, and a gallon of milk only to come back and spend countless hours studying and seeking out useful and accurate information among the mixed multitude of available sources.


I see Glen Beck is allegedly moving away from Fox News.  Glen has changed his ideas and his focus and when you start to think for yourself and move away from the system you become less popular in the current mainstream media. I think that's actually an improvement for Glen.


However I think things are about to make a marked change when it comes to the shift toward the new media.  Instead of the news media monopoly vultures who constantly run their mouth and treat their guests as if they are cross examining them in a court hearing, you will see an increase of alternative news outlets providing more honest and useful information gathering. 


Meet a guy who isn't getting paid $15 million contract from Disney. How about this studio with three construction lights for $6 each from Home Depot and $10 black sheets from Target!  Compare that to CNBC or The Weather Channel! This is an example of the new media:
