General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI'm announcing today that I'm starting my own news website called "Tommy Carcetti News".
It will feature statements of base opinion, as well as wild unsubstantiated conspiracy theories with little to no evidence to support them.
But, you see, it will be called Tommy Carcetti News. News. So you can all feel free to cite to it as a completely legitimate news source. Because "news" is right in its title, you see! You can't get any more reliable than that!
My first article will be on how on September 11, 2001, C.I.A. agent Elvis Presley detonated a bomb inside World Trade Center 7 in order to destroy secret documents proving that the moon landing was a hoax. I mean, everyone knows this to be a fact already! It's not even a matter of debate anymore.
So cite away to Tommy Carcetti News! (c) You'll be sure to win every argument that you make. Because in the end, you're always right.

Hey, wait a minute. It's not just a big "X" scrawled on a cocktail napkin is it? I didn't just fall off the taturguy truck you know!

It's sooooo worth it though.

After the disappointment of never seeing a single story about foxes on that other site, I'm a bit leery of '___ news' sites.

And now he's like some creepy Middle Earth pimp. On another TV show.
And then he had some schlub steal his name for posting on Democratic Underground.com.
That's integrity right there.

(43,224 posts)True story: I was on a plane and the person in front of me was watching this video and thinking, "Wait...what's Mayor Carcetti doing walking around the woods with a fox and a snail on his shoulder?" And then I got really bummed out at the end, even though I couldn't hear what was going on.

(8,217 posts)However, the news will only feature:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025125539
Secondly, it would have 2 different view styles.
Side by Side : 3 Tab
Basically each article will have 3 features, which would be done by tab
The Article - Which would be dry and factual
The Opinion - To Provide Context
Links and Sources - To Show that it is credible
Comment section would be handled as another page.
The secondary view style would be the article and opinion placed side by side.
I just don't have the time, even if I have the technological know how and I have a site and domain name that I am hardly ever using.

(44,228 posts)this is brilliant. Hosts will never lock anything from a legitimate news source like Tommy Carcetti News, or Storm Clouds Gathering News.
Watch out for juries, though. They seem to be doing what Hosts refuse to do.
