Well, maybe he didn’t learn directly from Paar – but Brian did have Paar as a guest on his show at\u00a0 WABC (when Brian and his co-host were the top-rated morning drive time hosts in the New York City).<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, Brian will be interviewing other folks.\u00a0 I suspect his standards for guests might slip a bit, but we’ll see.<\/p>\n

Here’s an outtake from Brian’s announcement of his goals for Libertas<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

What if the News was presented without a political “filter”; that reported and analyzed current events and eliminated political “spin”, featuring a policy of respect for integrity, accuracy and fact?<\/em><\/p>\n

What if it was coupled with commentary that examined events in the light of classic liberalism, libertarianism and free market principles?<\/em><\/p>\n

Stay turned to see how Brian delivers answers to those questions.\u00a0 You can subscribe to updates & announcements at the Libertas homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
