Few advertisers want the informed, thoughtful demographic.

The dumb sluts who watch MSNBC ...etc.- now there’s an audience advertisers drool over.

I was thinking of that as well. FOX bends itself in a pretzel to avoid being “right wing.” And most of their coverage is straight news.

Let FOX can be the right leaning network that claims fair and balance, like the left-leaning networks claim no bias.

But a full-throated conservative channel would be a massive hit.

Opinion shows 24/7. No pretense of where you stand.

Because “CNN” is already taken?

BTW, the main reason FOXnews is the strongest cable
news outlet is because it is the only one even
close to being considered conservative. The rest
of them and the network outlets split the lib and
non-aligned viewership.

Because the news networks are based in New York City and NYC is the liberal asshole capital of the universe.

How about one channel for conservative series and mystery movies?

Maybe stories with a mother AND a father, fidelity, modesty, and Sunday church?

GBTV is well worth the money.

Why bother. About twenty seconds after it would take to the air, many Conservatives, and probably including many FReepers, would start condemning it for not being Conservative enough. Look at what the Conservativer-Than-Thous are doing to Orrin Hatch (right here on FR even), one of the most Conservative senators ever—a 90 per cent index level from Conservative organizations. Senator Hatch was instrumental in getting Justices Alito, Clarence Thomas et al into the Supreme Court. That doesn’t satisfy the Conservativer-Than-Thous, however. They want him to agree with them point-for-point. Why would we need this kind of thing redressed daily on a television networ?

One word: Money.

It’s been tried. Back in the 1990’s Paul Weyrich founded NET (National Empowerment Television) which I’m sure would fit your conservative bill. It later became America’s Voice. Whatever you call it, it was never profitable and died a horrible death.

When most FReepers use the word conservative they’re really referring to paleoconservatism, and to be honest the numbers are small, really small. I would argue with anyone who thinks that conservatives of all types combined make up anything resembling a majority, but when you narrow it down, it’s tinier than most would ever admit.

Because conservatism conflicts with globalism and the globalists own the networks due to Al Gore’s Telecommunications Act of 1996. In turn the government, also owned by the globalists uses federal monies to enhance the revenues of news networks that serve their purposes, and threats for those that don’t.

It’s a matter of corruption of Constitutional government and several administrations antagonistic towards freedom and the American way.

You can bluster about left right dems repubs, but they are all following the globalist playbook and there’s hardly a whit of difference.

Just look at the corruption going on in the primaries right now, so you know the republican party has fallen to the depths of the other party and now uses their tactics to ‘win’.

I have been asking this for awhile. In the early days of Fox News, I would change all the channels at Costco to Fox News. I would change waiting rooms to Fox. I would ask Hotels why they didn’t carry it, and I would bug cable providers to carry it.

Now, I don’t car so much. They are better then the other lefty channels, but not a lot better.

I want an unabashed conservative channel that is as hard right as MSNBC is to the left. I know what the stinking lefties think is news, and I don’t care for it. I don’t want to be “fair and balanced”. I don’t want to see or hear their anti-American, America destroying drivel.

Give me a true conservative news network (TCN) and I will be as excited in as I was when I joined the legions that help promote Fox News.

Would love to see commercials for Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Guns & Ammo, Cabelas, etc.

Why Is There No Conservative News Network?

Because the factual TRUTH is too hard for most people to handle.

Because the cable companies would need to own most of the equity, while putting up none of the capital.
