*** Very Exciting ***
As the globalists push for a new world order through controlled governemnt and media, there is a mounting backlash, a grass roots movement that is mounting. The importance of an unbiased media is critical in this day and age where propoganda has replaced real news/journalism. A new media outlet on the horizon stands to change this. The station is Independent World Television. Make way for truth....

A New Television network is slated to be launched sometime in 2007. New networks are sprouting up all the time but what makes this one so different, so exciting is.....
IT WILL NOT BE INFLUENCED BY GLOBALIST/POLITICAL INTERESTS (PROPOGANDA).
Having worked at the flagship station for the number one media outlet in my Country (Canada) in a top managment position, I have seen many first hand accounts of political and globalist interference of news, imaging, etc. Bottom line: mainstream media is a propoganda machine that serves the global elite and our government system that runs interference for them.
So it is with great exctiement that I am sharing this info with you.
Naomi Klein has excellent journalistic integrity and her presence in this new endeavor will be refreshing.
Here is a promo for the upcomming network.
Here are their plans:
Our Mission
The Problem
Serious news and full-spectrum debate -- on which democracy depends -- are disappearing from television. Across the globe, news media are concentrated in the hands of a few entertainment conglomerates whose interests determine news coverage. They promote superficial "infotainment" over tough investigation, context and holding authority accountable. Public broadcasters face shrinking budgets and growing political and commercial pressures.
The Solution
We need a news and current affairs network that defends the public interest and the highest standards of journalism. Independent World Television will be such a network, a non-profit broadcast service financed by viewers across the globe -- independent of corporate or government funding and commercial advertising.
Why now?
Before, there were no means to directly raise funds from people around the world. Now, the web allows millions to band together and raise capital to compete with corporate media outlets. Think of the 15 million people who demonstrated against war in Iraq on one day in 2003. Think of the internet fundraising successes of MoveOn.org and the Howard Dean presidential campaign. Members of the Dean fundraising operation are already on board.
The Launch Plan
The network is raising a $7 million start-up budget from individual donors and foundations. The MacArthur, Ford and Phoebe Haas Trust foundations and the Canadian Auto Workers Union have contributed to a planning study. In its next phase, IWTnews will build the online community necessary for an international mass fundraising campaign launching in early 2006. The campaign will use concerts and media events headlined by socially-conscious celebrities to drive the internet fundraising. If half a million people in the entire world contribute just $50, IWTnews will secure the $25 million it needs to fund its first year of broadcasting, in 2007.
The Programming
To be seen on satellite, digital TV and the web, IWTnews is also negotiating alliances with public and nonprofit channels to carry its programming. IWTnews will cover the big issues -- war and peace, political campaigns, environment, global economy, civil rights, labor issues and social policy. IWTnews will hire journalists for their experience, political acumen and understanding of history. Complex issues will be addressed with energy, bite and wit. Citizen journalism will bring insight from people around the world. Informed by a commitment to social justice and respecting diversity of opinion, IWTnews will focus on news other media ignore or suppress, and on individuals and groups that are transforming the world.
