Why doesn’t one conservative own a cable channel?
I’d watch it.
We’re long overdue to start setting up Conservative entertainment & news networks, movies, and educational systems (essentially anything cultural). The left engages in the kinds of practices they accused (falsely) of Sen. McCarthy for over a half-century of vast discrimination and exclusion of those that don’t share their ultra-leftist inclinations. It’s not a secret conspiracy, either, it’s open and standard practice.
I work here in L.A and there’s a couple. But I damn won’t list them all to avoid the idiot DU troll who just comes looking. The reason why we successfully win in the shadows is because we keep our mouths shut and that’s the point of the article. If you are labeled a Pubbie’, you are done for.
The channel would not be the problem.
The problem would be finding new material to show on it and the actors to perform in the new material.
New “conservative” material is next to non-existent; finding actors willing to be “pigeon-holed” as “conservative” would be hard, too.
After all, they’d never work in Hollyweird again...
And a newspaper, I’d read it too
Very. Good. Question.
I’ve often, wondered the same thing.
Rush Limbaugh, for example.
Look up National Empowerment Television or N.E.T. as it was called and read it's history. It has been tried and was done during the Clinton scandals. Paul Weyrich ran the network and it was strictly conservative format. Problem was back then you just about had too have a C-Band {the old 10' satellite dish} system to receive it.
Weyrich stepped on some toes including sounding the alarm about Trent Lott's failures as SML. The shows had host like Bill Lind, Janet Parshall, Major Garrett, Michael Reagan, Alan Keyes, John Lofton, and a lot of other great conservatives. It was the ideal conservative network. I still have some of the old shows on VHS.
The network as I understand it ran into some shortage of funding issues so the board outed Weyrich from control and went to a moderate format. The shows were then "On the right side" with Armstrong Williams and Ellen Ratner get the picture? The new network name was called America's Voice. Bob Beckell was even on it.
Yea I wish a good conservative would start a network also. You can look for establishment DC in both parties too use all means available too them to get it shut down though.
