The title alone says it all, doesn’t it?
Why aren’t rich people paying $200 a month and poor people paying nothing?
A young Detroit couple who helped controversial New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez win election last year as a democratic socialist are now launching a pro-socialism media company from their house on the city’s east side.
Their company, Means TV, is an Internet-only web streaming service that, for a monthly $10 subscription, would offer entertainment programming with “pro-worker” and “anti-capitalist” viewpoints, including original TV shows, talk shows, comedy sketches, reality TV and on-the-ground reporting.
The service is the brainchild of filmmakers Naomi Burton, 29, and Nick Hayes, 22, a girlfriend-boyfriend duo who gained national attention last year for producing a campaign video for Ocasio-Cortez that went viral and helped to propel the formerly unknown candidate to an upset Democratic primary victory.
Means TV began releasing preview videos last month and Burton and Hayes are aiming to raise $500,000 through the website by May 30. That amount could finance an initial year of programming, which would roll out late this year or early 2020, they said.
I suspect this will fail, like leftist talk radio fails (and that’s free).
“…are aiming to raise $500,000 through the website by May 30. That amount could finance an initial year of programming…”
And when that fails, they’ll roll out their Five Year Plan. We’ve seen this show before, kids.
Socialism is always meant to be for OTHER people.
What a capital idea! Only a socialist moron could miss the irony.
Ten Dollars a Month – Just like Downtown….
Ten bucks a month? Do they tack on local/state/fed taxes as a surprise on the second month?
I want it free, otherwise they’re just capitalists posing as fake socialists.
How entrepreneurial of them.
As long as they get paid only $10 month.
What, no?
“would offer entertainment programming with “pro-worker” and “anti-capitalist” viewpoints, including original TV shows, talk shows, comedy sketches, reality TV and on-the-ground reporting”
As if that market isn’t already super saturated (CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, TNT, CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN, MSNBC, etc). Then again, no one every said that socialists were intelligent.
They need to start that on the ground reporting in Socialist South America.
Why did I just know that they would be a pair of ugly, white pukes!
I bet they sell tshirts and bumperstickers and ask for bank cards to process the fees, huh?
Idiots.
An eating disorder and a soyboi.
Means TV – shouldn’t I just have to pay what I can afford? Basically the same as Chipolte charging you $12 for an E. coli burrito in a brown paper bag that says everyone deserves a free lunch.
What intellectually perverted people.
Remember, girlfriend/boyfriend, you’re nothing without your followers. Watch what you say, comrades. And be really careful what you stream. Could get really problematic very fast if you trigger the wrong NPCs.
