MySpace, Burnett team up to launch "INDEPENDENT"


MySpace, the most popular social networking site announced Wednesday that they are teaming up with reality TV producer Mark Burnett to launch a new political reality show that will have contestants live in the public eye, interacting with supporters, protesters, activists, and others.

Dubbed INDEPENDENT, the interactive television series will seek the nation's next great politician through an online, offline, on-air multimedia campaign. Focused on finding the next great American politician, the show apparently will help reshape the face of US politics, including the next Presidential election by combining reality-competition television with the Internet.


The News Corp.-owned social network and the mastermind behind hit reality series like ‘Survivor’ and ‘The Apprentice’ hope this political reality show will encourage and empower young Americans to participate in the political process.
