Joshuaonline turning 6 years and why I started it

By Skyler
  Joshuaonline is Mychiller's TV and Media Blog , where share TV news and media news, with opinions. It launched in 2006 with not a major plan or a goal  that's the honesty of it . This site here has changed many times it did news ,  it had politics it was everywhere , the slogan was "Everything Here" infact. Then around 2008  I started sharing TV news here about the new TV seasons and shows coming up, and finally by 2010 the direction of the site really has changed.
    Our Slogan is "TV and Media Straight Forward" what that means is alot, it means that TV and Media news and opinion is shared in a straight forward way that opinions are saying directly what they mean, if there's something in the media we like we say it , something we don't we  say it. TV is interesting and changing , we've seen many soaps go off the air, we've seen a few TV seasons go by. We hope that you have been enjoying this blog for the 6 years it's been around. We are not a large and famous blog but we are here for people to read and enioy and think. Joshuaonline is the name of the site, even though it wasn't started by a person named Joshua it was started by me (Skyler).
    The media's job in the United States , atleast in the news part , is that they are supposed to inform the people and be a watchdog of government and consumers. Our goal is to make sure the media is being the watchdog not the lap dog. I would like to thankyou all for reading even if it was just the past week you found this site, the goal is to try hard at what we do and never waiver from that.

                                                                                            Thanks
PS:  JOL  turn 6 in April

[Open Letters] Thanks NEWSWEEK and CNN

Open Letters 
  By Skyler
  Dear  NEWSWEEK,
      Your February 13th week issue did the right thing in talking about what Christians go through in the Muslim world. It's been uncovered by the media in the past years. It's been open dissuctions on should a Muslim Community center  should it be built in  NewYork City  (close to ground zero). The United States , you have the First Amendment right to believe or not believe in what you want and not be persecuted  the government or others. Has this blinded the media? I can say maybe it has the media of the United States has been blinded and not been covering others being attacked for their beliefs. Thanks to NewsWeek magazine for covering this and I hope you do more of this.   (If you want to read this article your self  the link is right there on Feb 13 wording)
    Dear CNN,
      The Election coverage you have been doing has been great, I love how you have been devoting reporters and people to states the rest of the media has cut back on.  When last Tuesdays, Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota went to vote, MSNBC ditched to having their regular shows on,and tape at 11PMET , when Colorado wasn't done.Though MSNBC's coverage wouldn't have been that good anyway.  FOX NEWS Channel ditched last week too. But CNN did a great job but ... beyond that like in Nevada, you in Colorado, Missouri , and Minnesota  had reporters showing us the caucuses and giving numbers that no one else had because you had them first. Thanks CNN and do more of this.
 
We may do more media open letters  soon , if you have an idea email us at mychiller @inbox.com , or tell us on google plus search for mychiller  , or on http://facebook.com/mychiller

WSJ : ABC and Unision are talks to start a news channel

Cable NEWS   T V
     The Cable news world  , could be growing .  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that  Walt Disney (ABCNEWS Parent)  and Univision Communuications are in talks to launch an English language news network  and could be launched before the elections.
     from WSJ:

   The new channel would plunge Disney’s ABC News more directly into the fractious cable-news wars, competing alongside Time Warner Inc’s CNN, News Corp.’s Fox News and Comcast Corp.’s MSNBC. And it would mark a big strategic shift for Univision, which since its beginnings five decades ago has been defined by its Spanish broadcasts, but which will now compete for English speakers.

 ABC  and Univision have not  commented on this as of yet. But it does make for  a good idea.  ABC did have plans to launch a news channel in 1996 but changed minds.  ABC currently has a news channel ABC NEWSNOW , it's not very main stream , really only available on Verizon Fios and online from some cable companies and on some mobile phones. It's mostly taped programmed and lifestyle shows.
well update you as we can.
