Eric Odom, founder of the American Liberty Alliance, the group that organized and implemented the Tea Party Movement has announced that they soon will launch a Huffington Post of their own. According to the Huffington Post:
Odom announced Friday what he calls a movement-minded news portal and his answer to the the Huffington Post. While the domain and branding are secret for now, Odom has given his news portal a temporary name, Project 73.
Odom aims to create an online news portal that he hopes will become the “gathering spot for all the news” for their “side” — a “movement minded news portal.”
“I mean, I despise a lot of what is written at Huffington Post. But the reality is… they’re good at it. They cover very wide ranges of topics and they cover them well. On our side you need to visit a good ten sites in the morning to get the full web digest. On their side you just go to Huffington Post and you know about everything that’s happening.”
At the bottom of the Project 73 announcement, Odom says, “Not a single person involved with our organization, or any tea party movement related organization for that matter, is profiting off of the movement.” However, it looks like Odom’s site will be a for-profit model.
It sounds like a good idea. One stop shopping for people writing blog post. People won’t even have to sully their TVs with watching Glenn Beck. Plus, Project 73 sounds a lot like Area 51. The name gives the project an air of mystic. I just hope it includes a glossary.
