Right.
A 'niche' that is 60% of the population.
The problem with previous attempts at conservative news, has been (if faith-centered FReepers will forgive me) they’ve thus far, been centered on religion.
That’s wonderful, but it’s not why people watch television Monday - Saturday. It’s not why people watch news, and it’s not what sets the dialogue.
What’s needed is a conservative network which provides exactly the same amount of subtle, plausibly deniable bias to the right, which the MSM imbues everything else with to the left.
No question there’s a market. Almost every newspaper, television station, network and radio station is controlled by and spins for the left.
People are hungry for true dissent.
America doesn’t have any.
The first real alternative, will make someone billions.
“60% of the population” probably more.
But a network doesn’t make money from viewers, it makes money from advertisers.
Advertisers don’t make money from viewers, they make it from customers.
Dumb people buy a LOT more at a higher price and for less value than thoughtful ones.
Oh, and they vote Dem of course. That’s why media is so pro-Dem: they’re pro-stupid.
That’s pure unadulterated fantasy right there. Honest estimates place conservatives at around 20%. The vast, and I mean vast majority of Americans are apolitical. Liberals, conservatives and moderates combined wouldn’t make up 50% of the population, let alone 60%.
Then why does Rush have so many advertisers, and people still clamoring to buy into his audience, sleep train trying to make amends and get back in. If it is such a niche audience why is this so? The fact is there are more conservatives in this country, and conservatives are the ones who buy things, than liberals and advertisers know it. A conservative TV news station would go over like gang busters.
