"SNIP..............


“A well-placed source close to the proposal tells Mediaite that serious discussions are underway to create an alternative conservative cable network on the belief that the Fox News Network is moving too far to the left. The source, who is engaged in the talks, says a meeting is planned for today with two prominent high-powered television executives, some underperforming conservative networks and people who have an interest and the ability to fund a new network.”

“The potential aim? Putting ‘the old band’ back together. There are certainly plenty of (out-of-work?) conservative powerhouses to pick from that could star on a new network, and perhaps even some executives from within Fox News who might be lured by the new opportunity.”

2. FOX is moving too far to the left?

This has to be the Onion.

3. This is NNN (Neo-Nazi News)

The only other news channel that tells you women LIKE slaps on the behind and those sexual jokes about them in the workplace, that gays are evil wizards out to adopt kids and subject them to the horrors of being in a loving family, that Muslims are out to kill you and those secret Muslims are everywhere except here, and that lazy immigrants are out to steal the jobs you don't want to do... you know, all the news you already want to hear! Everything else is fake news anyway!

4. Snowflakes can't have their opinions blasted 24/7?

6. So the bigotry will be overt instead of subtle now?

7. TV networks are so twentieth century...

My TV plays movies, that's all it does.

No cable, no satellite, no broadcast, no advertising.

Comcast used to call me with special offers for about two years after I quit them. We had a "business relationship" because there was a tiny thirty cent something credit on my bill.

"Only $29 a month for the first six months!" they'd tell me, and I'd tell them as soon as their first check cleared I'd consider it.

I pay people to take away my garbage, not to deliver it.

8. Fox was created to counter a perceived liberal bias in the media.

Their original Statement of Work proudly proclaimed that.

Wish I had saved a copy before they disappeared it.

9. I'm all for splitting the GOP to extremes. They will have more trouble

getting legislation passed. Maybe there should be two parties to represent the right. That would be nice.

10. Oh god, not another one!
