		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&quot;...moves that could signal the end is near for the online video site.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You might be right, Ryan.  But why would babelgum close up shop?  How could it?  $210m over 3-5 years?  That&#039;s huge amounts of money, guys.  I agree, there&#039;s a lot of companies out there with redundant content and that&#039;s probably hurting them.  This could be exactly what they say it is.  Streamlining.  Have you seen these offices?  They might be palatial with huge overhead.  So I ask, do you see the billionaire investor just pulling out of the venture or them just downsizing their fluffed feathers?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Babelgum is a very liberal website, almost to the point of current.tv.  And all the billionaires are tied into Gore&#039;s Global Warming schemes, like carbon credit exchanges and international green taxes &amp; green incentives.  And if you noticed, liberalism is starting to crumble under Pelosi and Reid.  The fraud is out in the open now, and it&#039;s apparent it&#039;s been propagated through these media portals.  We all want to conserve and be conscience of our habitat.  But to what extent? The investor saw the schemes weren&#039;t working and they pulled back.  If they want to recover on a 210m investment, they have to make big money.  NBC, ABC, CBS kind of money.  To do that, you have to appeal to the main stream.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It amazes me how much money is spent on these online shows, yet the writing is so terrible.  Everything is a bad carbon copy of something else, and people brag about throwing in seven figures.  How about creating a good show, and making seven figures?  Then let&#039;s talk.  Sooner or later, the New Media Cliques are going to have to grapple with their content.  Success depends on the content, not smoke and mirrors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just 2-cents.&lt;/p&gt;
