From the Press Release:

"Western North Carolina News Network (WNCNN), created by local political organizer, Gordon D. Smith, is political satire presented as a cable news program in the vein of Steven Colbert's The Colbert Report and Jon Stewart's The Daily Show.  WNCNN will air weekly on Mondays on numerous internet sites including YouTube.com beginning on September 18, 2006.  The series intends to highlight the shortcomings of Republican incumbent Congressman Charles H. Taylor through the use of satire, sarcasm, and visual humor.

Smith says of the show, "Too many people are turned off by dryly produced news programs and nasty campaign ads.  WNCNN is a way to learn more about Charles Taylor and have a good laugh at the same time."  Exclusively aired on internet sites, WNCNN's target audience is made up of the "netroots", a broad-based demographic of politically minded internet users.  The weekly series will be available at Youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com/...), DailyKos, MyDD, BlueNC, Scrutiny Hooligans, and a host of other political blogs and websites.  "Scores of political blogs and websites will link to the series and will advertise it through a graphic logo at their sites," Smith added, "We expect to have 10,000 viewers for our first episode, and we'll see where it goes from there".


WNCNN is not affiliated with any campaign or political organization.  It is an example of netroots activism with a sense of humor.  The weekly series will, through newsdesk style performance and on-the-scene "reporting", lampoon the record and reputation of Congressman Taylor.  "It's all in good fun," Smith says, "and it's a good way for people to learn more about the incumbent."  To view the first installment and future installments, go to http://www.youtube.com/....  To contact the show's creators, writers, actors, and producers, email them at wncnn@yahoo.com."

Holy crap, that's good stuff! I just want to say that I'm totally in love with Mad Miss Maddie. :)

It took a little bit of futzing with the code, but I got it to work eventually - I wish I can remember what I did...

Hilarious (none / 0)

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the report this morning.  Sometimes you just gotta have fun while you're ranting.  It's nice to be able to laugh at that pathetic Charles Taylor scum.


Robin Hayes lied, Robin Hayes cried and thousands of folks lost their jobs.

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

Yeah, good stuff.

That Taylor must have a heck of a hair-don't in real life.

Thanks again for all the support.

Area Republican bloggers have been driving down the rating at Youtube.  So, if you get a chance, cruise on over and give us five stars...

Thanks!
