http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/sarah-palin-online-tv-channel-109429.html?hp=r1Sarah Palin has announced the formation of her own Internet television news channel.
In a Facebook post late Sunday evening, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee announced the Sarah Palin Channel, an interactive, online network designed as an alternative to mainstream news media.
This is a news channel that really is a lot more than news, Palin said in a video introducing the network. This is a community where were going to be able to share ideas and discuss the issues of the day. And were going to find solutions.
The network will cost $9.95 per month or $99.95 annually for subscribers.

Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.
Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that.
Ravelli: Now, for rehearsing we make special rate. Thatsa fifteen dollars an hour.
Spaulding: That's for rehearsing?
Ravelli: Thatsa for rehearsing.
Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?
Ravelli: You couldn't afford it.

Enrique
(27,461 posts)it's exactly the same thing, same price, etc.
The difference will be that Glenn Beck actually does a show, and Palin I think is very unlikely to do that. A show would be work. We'll see what she puts up for content, but whatever it is it won't involve a lot of effort on Sarah's part.

BumRushDaShow
(128,905 posts)and let the "guests" handle the "heavy lifting". She has no capacity to actually string together a coherent set of words into a sentence, let alone attempt to engage in any type of prolonged meaningful discussion. Her shallow party will use her in the same shallow way that they use people like Megyn Kelly (although Kelly managed to not flunk out of 5 colleges before sortof finally getting a degree from the 6th, and has gobs more credentials than Caribou Barbie). But in any case, she will be well paid for the privilege of providing yet another outlet that promotes RW propaganda that will get quoted as some sort of "legitimate source" by the M$M.

(65,340 posts)occur most frequently on a page and then puts up ads that match those words.
If DU's members post a lot of stuff mocking Sarah Palin, then the Googleads program will assume that DU members want to know about products that are connected to Sarah Palin.
If DU threads are about Right Wing politicians' claims that Obama should be impeached, then Googleads will offer for sale books that call for his impeachment, or opportunities to contribute to the campaigns of politicians that demand his impeachment.
davidpdx

BumRushDaShow
(128,905 posts)at the major networks, that was the end of anything remotely approaching legitimate "news". This was allegedly done to achieve a "cost savings" and to try to get a ratings boost. The result being a has-been formerly part-time ex-Governor who lost a VP slot 6 years ago, heavily promoted across the genres of entertainment and purported "politics". Similarly you see the rise of clowns like Trump as somehow being legitimate sources for political analysis, in order to generate a "infotainment newz" cycle.

Should make for lots of material for the late night comedy shows and other comedians to use. Wonder how long it will take her to quit? Then they could just get Elmo to replace her. Well, maybe he makes too much sense for that gig.

(2,935 posts)Meaning she can spew any lies and insane psychobabble she wants without being called out on her bullshit.
$9.95/month or $99.95/year. Really? Who is going to pay her that kind of money just so they can listen to this charlatan to validate their already firm held beliefs? People who will pay this grifter that kind of money will only validate that old axiom that "there's a sucker born every minute".
I hope she runs also. Not that this whackadoodle has a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but you can't have too many insane Republicans in the clown car racing towards the finish over that nomination cliff. She will provide much welcome comic relief and endless fodder for late night talk show hosts. She's the gift that keeps on giving and will once again draw unwelcome attention to the right wing nutjob insane Teabilly fringe of the Republican Party.
