SACRAMENTO, California – (OBSNews.com)  A startup independent online news company, www.OBSNews.com has created a YouTube.com channel (go to www.OBSNewsTV.com to be directed to the channel) to help promote their brand of independent internet media coverage.  In the grandest traditions of Silicon Valley’s garage start-ups the company was the brainchild of two internet entrepreneurs Manny Fernandez and Patrick McGilvray, J.D. 

The company was created in the Fall of 2007 to help gain media attention for McGilvray’s family’s lawsuit against a large concrete company who had dumped hundreds of tons of concrete rubble and rebar on the family’s land (see www.obsnews.com/hanson.htm).  The site soon mushroomed into a news destination.

Recently the OBSNews team covered the California Democratic Party statewide convention held in San Jose at which the supporters of presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pled their cases for the cameras with passion.
