Why does the media focus on the "crap" of YouTube?

Ever wonder why you don't see the media play your really good videos from Myspace, YouTube and other distribution sites? Well, it's because if they showed the good stuff, they would look pretty stupid with their over-priced headquarters, expensive ad rates and lavish sets.

What does it come down to really? A story, lights, actors and a setting, right? Why then do we have to continue to watch these stupid videos that our local news airs? Like, who cares if a lady in the midwest can knit a cat sweater??!! Come on! I see stupid crap that makes me laugh all the time, but thats what it is, crap. And I always feel empty afterwards.

Some of us here in Seattle got together and created indieTV.tv, a place to find some of the real good stuff out there. We have plots, sets, lights, green screens, and with over 230 shows, we are making Hollywood scared. What happens when we pull the curtain down and we see the wizard? Who will it be? Ted Turner? Crying like a baby? Or that 120 year old guy that owns FOX, whatever his name is.

So check out indieTV.tv from Seattle, if you are tired of wasting your time watching cats playing piano, or a fat kid dancing to techno, or a squirrel riding a skateboard eating a donut.
