On the Road with the Tea Party Express

The face of broadcasting/webcasting is about to change. The Revolution will be televised.

Beginning today in Reno (10am Pacific time) the Tea Party Express IV Tour will be webcast start to finish for all to see live on the internet. 15 days-30 cities, wrapping up November 1^st in Concord, New Hampshire. Sarah Palin will begin and end the tour and there will be loads of guests in-between.

This will be news without the filter of the activist old media. You will see the Tea Party as it is.

Judge for yourself America.

I’ll be anchoring much of the coverage along the way, and I have no idea really what to expect. There may be protests against the Tea Party, there may be plenty of peaceful demonstrations. We will report and show what we see. I’ve been to a handful of Tea Party events in the past, so I’m figuring these will be similar, but who knows what we will find in Odessa, Texas, or Los Angeles, California. I’m looking forward to Columbus, Ohio to celebrate with Buckeye Fans. Toms River, New Jersey should be interesting to me, not because of Jersey Shore, but because it’s the hometown of a great WWII hero, Leonard Lomell.

We will be using state of the art broadcasting technology on this trip, wireless HD blasting out over the web because we can. Many other websites are picking up our broadcasts and sending them out as well. Liberty.com is the home team for the coverage and you will find each of the shows there, but Breitbart.tv and many others will be showing the webcast by embedding it into their sites. More is better on the internet.

It will be a break-neck pace and a hectic schedule. We will be doing the webcast from one location and quickly packing up to go to the next town. Bluto would’ve loved this road trip.

Like any live broadcast there may be glitches and we will learn along the way–but this is the future of broadcasting right here. This is just the beginning of the live events that we will be bringing to the web. We have the ability to take to the road with a camera and a wireless connection and bring the story straight to the people. I don’t expect my friends in the activist old media to be intimidated by this because they will not see it as a threat. Most newspapers didn’t think the internet would ever threaten them either. Enjoy the webcasts–there will be many more of them to come.
