The Ward Room on BarelyPolitical.com

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 17th, 2008

Former SHECKYmagazine.com columnist Rusty Ward is now the anchor of a slickly-produced, two-minute Daily Show-style current events internet program called The Ward Room.

The show is but one small portion of the offerings of BarelyPolitical.com, an online venture created by former Philadelphian Ben Relles. (We had the pleasure of working on a couple projects with Relles while he was still obtaining his MBA from Wharton back a few years ago.)

Ward is listed as the head writer for the site, which seems to be concentrating on politically themed music videos and mp3’s. We notice that the BP site distinguishes itself from other, similar ventures by producing content with fairly high quality graphics, music and production values. Clicking around on BarelyPolitical is actually a tour of the future– quality content, virtually indistinguishable from that which is offered by major conglomerates, offered via the internet. As they used to say in the Antique Media, stay tuned.
