Great first newscast Johnny A. Will definatley be tuning in. Keep up the great work!

I couldn't help but think of this 'news cast' as satire ... sorry
The way it was delivered was as if every topic reported on, was being made fun of.
I am sure the purpose of this new feature isn't to be an alternative to news outlets such as CNN or MSNBC, but I got the feeling the anchorman wasn't taking his 'reporting' seriously.

This is just my opinion and how I felt watching it.

lolol I had a great laugh.

Great ENTERTAINMENT only. lol Maybe a touch of serious wouldnt hurt.

Lats see the second edition how it turn out.

Obama is a celebrated " last nail in the Constitution " by the NWO. The Elite has made a mockery of the Constitution by swearing in Obama. What better way of seeing the demise of the U.S. but to have a ' foriegn born ' citizen become president.

Maybe had you read my post better you would understand that I in no way expect this to be serious but at the same time 'I felt' that it was having a laugh at the topics reported on.
There was no reason for me to 'lighten up' as I wasn't trying to take it serious but I also didn't want to feel uncomfortable while playing it in front of others and have them take me serious when I talk about discussions on this site.
After all, this IS a conspiracy site and as it is, theorists get laughed at any way.

I'm just saying that was the feeling I got from it.

He who takes everything (or himself) TOO seriously and can't have fun usually can't suffer the cold light of LOGIC or reality because he has no way to process it without wanting to give up.

You eat Chinese tonight ?

I would like to say in all due respect:

One, I think an ATS news feed is a fantastic idea! It will evolve and will naturally provide a much needed avenue for information.

Two, I just find that Johnny Anonymous' statement "If it's not on AboveTopSecret.com, then it probably doesn't matter", could set a dangerous precedent as a news source. I truly believe that ATS is heads and shoulders above the rest, but certainly whether or not the news is here has no impact on if it matters. What if that statement were modified to say ATSPremium instead? Some may already feel that way, and that logic could be used to stratify ATS News for elite and common accounts.

I understand that it is a light hearted statement, and obviously Johnny has earned his rank and all that jazz, and this is not Ad Hominem attack (or a general one) at all. However, is that statement truly fitting for ATS? Could there be a better statement that better reflects what ATS represents? I think there could be.

Well, much love to Johnny, SO, and the crew, and I just wanted to put this perspective out there as a matter of principal, not to mention I love ATS. Without this website and honest forum discussion, we would all be worse off for it.

Thank you.

I have two suggestions to make this better.

1) Make it longer.
2) Make new ones daily.

I think one daily would be cool, it would also be nice if it were breaking news that we haven't already read on the forum.

Someone needs to help Johnny Anonymous. His pronunciation is a bit regionalized, but I don't recognize the region. Also, you NEVER EVER say "A apple" (preface a noun that begins with a vowel with the indefinite article "a"... that's what "an" is for). But Johnny does this several times, and I'm thinking to myself "there goes his credibility". Whoever wrote his script is responsible. But that's all I can criticize about this first installation. Good work!

well done johnny keep up the good work

Constructive criticism is useful, but a few posters are criticising from the aspect of how they personally want the news to be.
ATS is a brand.
Johhny IS an associated image of the brand.
They are under no obligations to replicate a new msn, fox news, blah blah.

They will find the "hook" that works for their demographic of viewers.
Then add a new 'hook' for expanding to other demographics. They may move into a talk show/news format. They may choose to go serious or comical or both, It's a first run at the gate, and the effort had good synergy with the ATS brand. It will build a loyal following, they will start to generate revenue from it, and when that happens they can format and grow it how they like, which will most likely always be...a show model that attracts viewers, generates ad income and promotes the brand.

The format will evolve I'm sure, but at this stage, the current budget and virginity has produced a great new medium for the ATS brand.

So settle back, and enjoy the ride peeps.

edit my awful spelling

Our president is not fooling anybody. He is without a doubt from Kenya, and he is only the president to create controversy to gain momentum for the new world order. Civil unrest helps their cause. Racism helps their cause. Fluoride helps their cause. Vaccines and sickness helps their cause. Medical overhaul helps their cause. Deception is the key to their plan. They will use foreign UN troops when martial law is implemented because they know American troops for the most part will not support un-constitutional orders, and they know that foreign troops will not have a problem blowing us away. It's coming very soon, and ignorance will get you killed! Stock up now on food, water, guns, ammo, and camping supplies.
