I'll take a contrarian view and suggest that we're at a fork in the road.

Regardless of the players, I see the beginnings of a conservative megacorp that could be the foundation for a new social media platform for conservatives to rival Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

I could be totally wrong, but how does a social media platform begin? Facebook seems to have swept up the remains of Myspace after that platform fell to sexual predator abuses. Facebook is now pushing conservatives off of their platform with nowhere else to go.

Currently, Blaze and CRTV seem to be subscription-based pushed content platforms. The question is how to leverage that into an interactive hub that also supports messaging, bulletin-board posting, user-managed sub-sites with e-commerce, user file, photo, and video hosting, etc.?

Are there any other conservative media personalities doing anything else remotely connected to building a conservative media platform?

Is this something that has the potential to become the long-asked-for conservative rival to Facebook, or is it just another alternative media platform pushing targeted content for niche viewers?

One man can start a new social media platform overnight — his name his Donald J. Trump.

If he bails on Twitter as his preferred platform, half the nation will move to the new platform.

Mind if I put my cushion on the bleacher with you? I haven’t a cue as to where this lash up might end up...could be interesting.

Last I heard the Beck media empire was failing now he’s expanding buying Levin’s company. So who is the white knight injecting money into Beck’s enterprise to corral conservative media into the Blaze control turning it into a conservative media monopoly? Someone named George maybe?

well, we need a huge conservative media presence and perhaps this is a start....

I've often wondered WHY with the likes of Rush, Beck, etc it couldn't be done....

heck....buy a few newspapers to start then small tv stations.....

if the supposed rich on the right don't start amassing resistance to the total leftist media, we have no chance...
