Right-Wing RightNetwork Already Causing a Stir
AOLNews ^ | April 20, 2010 | Carl Franzen

(April 20) -- Look alive, Fox! This summer, a new on-demand media network is set to debut several steps to the right of the current "Fair and Balanced" cable-news leader.

The "RightNetwork" announced its arrival with a limited-preview website, touting a line-up of all-original programming designed to reflect "Pro-America, Pro-Business, Pro-Military sensibilities." And even though the start-up lacks a specified release date and may or may not have a national distributor, it has already generated the kind of controversy that befits any cable news channel.

The commotion was largely kicked up by a widely circulated promotional video starring "Cheers" and "Frasier" alumnus Kelsey Grammer as himself, sounding off on things he thinks are wrong with the world -- a list that covers everything from "big government" to "grape-flavored vodka."

Good to have a backup. Murdoch’s son is a flaming lefty.

How about a pro-CONSTITUTION focus?

This is exactly the right climate to start a channel like this. I just hope it will be covered by my local provider.

who is behind this as we need to find this out otherwise it will be the far left trick of making viewers think they are watching a right news channel but for that channel to turn left over a period of time .

The far left have been dong this for year in the church, gun right groups etc

Excellent.

Taking back red. Taking back red banners.

Next, the rehabilitation of the perfectly good and decent words “comrade” and “gay”.

I suspect it’s Breitbart and the like. Wouldn’t be surprised if Beck is behind it too.

There’s “grape flavored vodka”? Who could be against that?

"Commotion"? "Controversy"?

Why is it that things conservatives and/or Repubs do subject to these and similar terms? Alinsky, anyone?

If Beck is behind launching a competitor he’d get the heave-ho from Fox News pretty fast.

If it’s good, I’d be happy to pay to subscribe. Fox has taken a sharp left turn lately.

This has got to be unconstitutional or racist or unamerican or something and I’m sure the the government will start investigating immediately before citizens can be harmed. /s

maybe it is but I would like to see who is behind this and not another left wing group making the right think they are watching a right wing channel.

My distrust comes form the far left setting up gun right groups , getting into the churchs etc.

I just hope it is not a left wing group or soros behind this and then the channel turns left over a period of time meanwhile making those viewers think they are getting right wing programming.

I’ll wait to find out the backers first before I get carried away with this plus this could be another left group funding this to take viewers away from FOX

find out who the backers are before we get all giddy about this,.

the left have always set up groups pretending that they are right wing but then turn left.

even on this thread some are getting their hopes up with out knowing all the facts behind this

Their slogan should be ‘We ARE Equal Time’.
