MySpace, Mark Burnett team up on political reality show
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The online social networking site MySpace.com and reality TV producer Mark Burnett are teaming to launch the search for an independent presidential candidate.
The political reality show Independent comes with a $1 million cash prize. But there's a catch: the winner can't keep the money.
The prize can be used to finance a legitimate run for the White House or can be given to a political action committee or other cause.
Contestants in the show, set to launch in early 2008, will meet the public and interact with supporters, protesters and others. An interactive "town hall" will give MySpace users and TV viewers a chance to rate their performance.
The show does not yet have a commitment from a TV network.
