Via Talking Points Memo comes news of Qube, the right-wing answer to the lefty, politically correct, and conservative censoring website that is... YouTube?

From their front page mission statement:

Bit by bit the site is coming together. Building QubeTV in the public eye has been a both a joy and a challenge, a real chance to bring the American conservative movement together in one place – with all of you watching! Coming next: a continuation of the ongoing (and not always visible to the eye) tech improvements such as embeds and (duh!) categories, the simple basics we know you are looking for. On the creative side, as you can see conservatives are beginning to send us video that ranges from the serious (The Heritage Foundation and The Family Research Council) to satire (the original video to singer Patrick Henry’s It’s In the Koran), from breaking news (see The Pittsburgh-Tribune Review video of Tom DeLay taking on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid) to old campaign commercials (see “How Mitch McConnell Got His Start.”) And yes, the MoveOn.org crowd is showing up as well.

“If you build it they will come” went the famous line from the film Field of Dreams.

Hey, good on them.

The great thing about the internet is that the cost of entry is so low that if you don't like a service or a site, or you think it's biased against you, you can start you own.

Of course, that doesn't mean you'll have any viewers, or attract many readers, but at least you won't be able to complain that you're shut out of disseminating your message (however specious or silly it may be.)

Why is it that every media outlet that is perceived to have a (real or imaginary) liberal bias needs to be balanced out by an explicitly conservative counterpart?
