Yes. We need honest factual reporting ON TV. if Cuban (or anyone) is willing to put up the money and give MTN FULL CONTENT/CREATIVE CONTROL, then yes. That has to be the condition though!

When Howard Stern left KROC to go to Sirrius he took Robin and the entire staff with him.

That was part of the deal.

If Cuban hates Trump and Musk is never a factor.....that is positive for sure.

There must be no changes in the staff, guest lists or regular contributors.

Do not rush into this.........amazing you are asking for our ideas.

Lots of preparation, research...timing so vital.......have until Nov 20 until the shit show kicks off

He has very good taste. What I see of him I like. If heтАЩs sincere, I think that it would be good to have his support.

Dont get me wrong I like Mark Cuban, but um, trump is sincere as well...at least a large portion of the US population thinks so....I say sincerely going to try to burn down this country with every fiber of his being.

With the vote-count checks going on, it appears that Rump got slightly *less* than 50%. So it's hardly a mandate.

Keep in mind that the Bezos with the WaPo left creative and content control to the management until he didn't. I believe, although I would need to research, that Patrick Soon-Shiong of the LA Times did the same.

THANK YOU for saying this! I think it's unrealistic to try to make a "deal for autonomy" when it's such a tenuous thing, in this capital-based society.

There's a way for Mark Cuban to help finance it without corrupting it, the MT people are smart enough to figure it out. Definitely don't make it so that they would be dependent on him till the end of time though.

Not that i have an issue with Mark Cuban but at the end of the day, people are protecting their own investments. I'd be more comfortable about the idea if Mark did it without any strings attached to it

No the LA Times changed and is very biased. They did 3 major things and I cancelled them as they were unreliable.

Yes and a source that isn't priced al la carte would be nice. I don't begrudge anyone making a living, but all the paid subscriptions are Nickle and Diming me to death. When the economy starts to contract don't know if I will be able to afford it.

yep I'm already cutting off non essential subscriptions and memberships, I see the economic writing on the wall. Everyone's trying to start their own premium media company right now, everyone wants my money. Money I don't have
