I think it’s a great idea. The iPad screen has high enough resolution that it would come through cleanly to the TV viewer.
I am so angry about the propaganda I could spit!
Why cant people see the way the media is baiting everyone on the Trayvon thing?
They are dividing us all and we all lose when we bite.
Truth and morals are the basis of “social” issues.
Great ideer! Next time I will “arm themselves before stepping on stage with Couric or Lauer or Letterman or Gregory with iPads chock full of news videos of media bias that can be instantly played back to them.”
I am on iPad2 right now. I got the TV on with the sound turned off being used as a lamp.
I’ve wished for this for a long time too except I never thought of the iPad. I was thinking laptop. iPad much better. Two thumbs up!
Don’t get wrapped up the the Travon thing. Just say that he was a drug-dealer-in-training, and he was going to be killed on the streets in a few years anyway.
As for the media...don’t patronize them, and encourage anyone you talk with not to patronize them.
Remember Mark Twain’s admonition....Don’t get into an argument with people who buy ink by the barrel. Many are no longer buying it by the barrel, but by the quart.
My local Gannett paper constantly calls me wanting me to subscribe...I tell them that the editorial board advocates for things that I find abhorrent and I will not buy their product nor the products of their advertisers.
I don’t know who’s lower, the press or whores.
At least whores are honest.
You’ll need 40 years - 2 generations - before you can counteract the damage done by liberalism.

Unless it is live it won’t work.
Actually, any tablet can do the job, and even some smartphones.
The devices are just the presentation mechanisms, and the hard work occurs in the background, with servers and applications and organized data, most of it in various media forms, such as TV and newspapers/magazines, internet blogs and forums, Facebook/Twitter/Google/Bing, etc.
To organize that information, will require a lot more processing power than a simple iPad or any other tablet can handle.
The organization part of what I mentioned above, is not simple, and can be done without too many problems. In fact, I’ve already worked out the methods for gathering the data, and the methods for accessing and presenting that data. I even have a working model, if anyone is interested.
One example:
You need to quote a particular politico about his record on dealing with the Israeli vs Iran issues, and you want to know it for the last 2 years or last week or yesterday...
Well, my idea will allow you to search the system to get at those specific criteria, and more, if needed.
This country is not screwed up because the newscasters are withholding the truth. It is screwed up because the majority of people have turned their backs on basic right and wrong. I don’t think they are being deceived, I think it was an conscious choice.
Totally AGREE. However, Breitbart is too dead to help, they already murdered him.
I mean Vince Fostered him.
Me too. We need to stand up.
Instead, our guys can reference the material or the quote, and offer to show it , but they'll be refused everytime.
Two basic tenets for our guys: 1) Always question the premise of the charge. 2) Expose the media by asking them what they think. Do not let them wiggle away by saying 'you're the candidate, it's not important what I think', when it is important what they think because they're directing the narrative. Force them to acknowledge our argument, or find out why they're ignoring important facts like: "'Zimmerman wasn't a racist and in fact tutored blacks", or Reagan didn't like millionaires evading taxes either, but his method was to reduce the top tax rate from 70 percent to 28 % to encourage payment of taxes and it worked.......etc.
“Ive already worked out the methods for gathering the data”
Man you are really ahead of the game. I thought I was just thinking in the Twilight Zone.
I know you can’t put Nexus on the iPad, but I was thinking just have those issues of the day ready for your iPad revenge on the media. And of course a special ready file of the Hall of Shame of classic demoRat vile vituperations.
I might as well ask you since you seem to know what you are talking about. If someone has a good idea for an iPad app how would you go about it? Would sure like to know where to start for one who doesn’t know anything about app programming.
And thanks all for the nice comments even from Chillers who pretty much shot down my scenario - lol. I know you can’t force the cameraman to focus in, but, even so, I would still shove their comments back in their face. They can’t totally ignore it.
