Its called the SBC (Superior Broadcasting Corporation)

Its brand new and in its infancy stage. Its meant to try to provide reports that are factual and unopinionated. However, commentary (which is secondary) will be biased.

It will never live up to the incredible brilliance of my (now-defunct) news site, NBC:

s7.invisionfree.com/NBC




Serious observation:

I dont think anyone will take seriously a news site right on the CDi forums...

Well its a subsidiary of CDi, but the news station states at the sight that it is invader oriented.

The reason it was created is because your news station went under unfortunatly, Seattle news is completly inactive and network radio is dead.
There were pretty much no international news orgs out at current, so thats why the SBC was made.

And the SBC has some good features.

Its still sad that there are no independent news sites left. All the news sources are the official voiceboxes of their respective organization...

I thought the idea was novel, but the reporting about the UN was uninformed and far from being objective.

The problem is for any news agency to be balanced, it needs a group of different writers with different POVs writing for it. But in the case of the UN reports, it was clear that whomever was the editor of the site wasn't even asking the sole UN reporter to present anything but his / her personal views.

Alright. Why dont you start NBC back up again instead of attacking new ones that pop up?
