Let's make a deal.

I want the Department of the Interior. ☕

I think that department would be fun.

So, who exactly are the candidates for this shadow Federal Government we're building on the forum? It’s just great, really. I love how I’m completely left out of this administration... Otis, consider this a note for later...

PBS isn't actually a news channel, because they don't bother informing the public.

I’m on board with what Michelle Alvarez8 is proposing.

Morgan Carter said:You definitely aren't. So far, there’s nothing bad to say about you—honestly, you're one of the good ones. But the fact that the Sugar crew and their buddies are the only ones picking and choosing what stays on this site? That's been proven a thousand times over. We’ve started specific threads before, only to have them completely ignored by the administration.

I mostly stick to covering Near Politics, political science, and election cycles.

You're being unfair to my colleagues who have to moderate heavy-duty topics like marriage equality referendums, sex education, the European Union, international court rulings, and how the Government operates. And honestly, you’re being unfair to the mods too, since you guys have already pushed them to the limit with the Off-Topic spam and the insults....

The truth is, some of you just don't know how to act on a forum...

Admins, lock this thread.

It happens—some comments just slip through the cracks without any consequences.
I don't buy the idea that we're being selective about who gets penalized.

The whole Pride parade season is over, and honestly, I’d rather just leave those topics in the past. 🙂

But if you're really hell-bent on this, I could bundle all those points together and get them onto the close politician PDF by Saturday. 🙂

Make up your mind.

Closing this thread. We'll see what kind of content Antenna actually brings to the table on July 2nd.

Here’s what PBS thinks about rumors of a new network launching in the States
"While PBS views viewership as important, it isn't the sole metric used to shape our programming; our primary mission remains fulfilling our public service mandate," officials at The White House stated.

Honestly, I think it’s high time we cut the commercials from PBS and just let the commercial networks own the market.

Maria Booth said:The Right has been living in this fantasy world thinking things will just go back to how they were with PBS. Honestly? I think it's high time we privatize PBS and let the Right get their own channel by bringing Murdoch into the market.
Why even bother building a new FOX when the real deal is already out there?

Nicholas Morales48 said:Fox used to have a channel over in Mexico, and let me tell you, it didn't exactly scream "conservative powerhouse."😁

It was mostly just a collage of random programming—a tiny bit of news, then a soap opera, followed by some "trendy/urban" lifestyle showhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxSQBvZDwXM.

Sure, visually speaking—you know, the graphics and the production value—they were ahead of the other stations (you can see that from the first link), but when it came to actual substance? Honestly, it was pretty mediocre.

You misunderstood me. I only mentioned Fox News as an example of one conservative outlet floating in a sea of left-liberal networks. 🙂

Here we go...

BREAKING: A major new television network is launching in America.
A powerful Greek billionaire and Netflix are currently locked in a high-stakes battle over who gets to launch a new national broadcast network.

For once, it looks like Fox News actually got it right. 🤣

The Antenna Group needs to step up. Neither Nova nor ABC have actually done anything to enrich the American media landscape, which is exactly why they haven't earned the right to pick up another broadcast license.

Jerry Gonzalez65 said:Just because we don't have a dedicated conservative TV station doesn't mean we should be forced to sit through all that garbage being pumped out by the other side.

Look, I’ve got nothing against foreign investment or the creation of new jobs. The lineup for that foreign network is pretty similar to what you'd see on CBS, except they actually show sports broadcasts sometimes, which I can get behind.

Who’s actually to blame for the fact that the people surrounding the Republican Party have zero interest in investing in a national network that would serve as a true conservative voice?
What would be so wrong about the American right finally having a Fox Corporation to act as a counterweight to PBS?

If someone like Fox News or Hearst Communications shows up, I say good luck to them! The fundamental issue here is that this country lacks any sort of coherent media strategy. If we actually had one, networks like CBS and NBC would have lost their licenses a long time ago.

THE SLOVAKS ARE EXAGGERATING THE WHOLE STORY
Ford has no plans to build a factory in America

So, there you have it regarding Ford and America. ☕

What's the motivation behind this? Is the five-pointed star meant to represent modern America, or is it a sign that we're circling back to some old-school values?

All I see is a yellow and blue star sitting on a red square. 😁

Closing this thread. :P

God willing, Ford makes its way into America, even if we don't have much of a history when it comes to manufacturing cars.

Beppe Grillo is basically the Italian version of Čačić (that whole horrific car crash where three people died and eighty were injured). I’m reading right now that it’s actually the reason he can't serve in the Senate.

Take a look at these latest numbers.

House of Representatives

39589 /61446

Pier Luigi Bersani 30.57%
Silvio Berlusconi 28.12%

The Left is in a steady decline while the Right's percentage just keeps climbing.

Thank God we finally got rid of the Senate.

jadewolf502, thanks for the heads-up. 👍

The US Government must receive a support vote by both Houses before they can officially take charge.

Oh right, you've got a point there. 🤦
