The "Real" News?

Have a look at this preview/introduction:
http://www.therealnews.com/web/index.php

Now this is an interesting concept. A worldwide independent news network that isn't funded by advertising and isn't susceptible to the same political pressures as other news outlets. They're selling journalistic integrity here, but is it for real? I'm looking forward to this. I'll be checking out the featured interviews they have there so far.

What do you think? Will they be all about the facts? Personally, I think this might have the potential to be a Daily Show but without the humour: brutal honesty with journalistic responsibility. Let's hope they don't blow it.
