Will the channel have rainbow commercials?

I’ll never know.

He’s likely to have had one of two reactions to his recent pillioring:

1) He lost weight due to anxiety and despair; or

2) He “comfort ate”, because he can afford to.

My money’s on #2. Of course, he can also afford nutritionists, chefs and personal trainers. So I hope he is getting in shape for the long haul, because we still need his experience. As long as he keeps his hands to himself and a civil tongue in his mouth.

No Milo......he is not the voice of conservatism Plus, he has no filters, and has a filthy mouth

I certainly agree he is not for every taste. But if he can get an edgy channel up and running for the young people, that's who will listen to him. After university indoctrination, even his pottymouth will be a relief.

Ailes and others can address the over-40 audience.

Conservative-hater Wallace is the idol of FOX “News”, and needs a “warning label” to remind watchers that he interrupts and pushes ideology every chance.

Chris Wallace is the most dangerous progressive in the media. MSNBC, CBS, ABC etc. are so biased that it is evident even to the ill informed. Wallace by being on Fox and pretending to be hard hitting when interviewing Liberals and an absolute rabid dog when interviewing conservatives is a very effective tool of the left.

When he interviews progressive liberals the problem is not what he asks. The problem is what he does not ask. If it is a conservative he asks everything and ignores nothing.

Actually I have more respect for Chris Wallace's father, an avowed flaming liberal. Mike Wallace did not pretend to be anything else. His son Chris Wallace is just as liberal but is extremely good at pretending to be unbiased. He is dangerous.

$12 m will get you a bice internet presence. It won’t begin to replace Fox, as Glenn Beck, who lost $60 m found out.

Rome wasn't built in a day. No time like the present to start building. Send your résumé and clips, LS!

Public humiliations such as the one Milo recently went through have a wonderful way of focusing the mind. It’s this or fail completely; someone believes to the tune of 12 large that he’d rather survive.

I’m not going to repeat myself but on another thread, I’ve mentioned his recent Facebook comments which don’t show much improvement.

I’d even watch BOR if he were signed on :)

Remember: a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. Hope this episode has helped him get off the fence.

Milo is cancer. Embracing him for “attacking liberals” is like growing a giant malignant tumor because the smell of that makes your enemies vomit.

I have no problem with principled gay political conservatives. I fear Milo may be a "David Brock Part Two."

Brock was a very skilled writer and supposedly hardcore conservative. He was also gay and was not in the closet. He turned to extreme left wing ideology and became the founder and head of Media Matters.

I’d like to see a conservative news channel that raises it’s startup funds from subscribers. No Australians, no Arabs, no Mexicans, limited New Yorkers. Built in subscriber base, and dividends would go to people with brains.

Limbaugh needs to get his ancient fat butt out in front on this.

We live in very dangerous times. The total takeover of information/news is almost completed now. It would have been completed by 1992 if the internet hadn’t happened even with “talk” radio and Fox “news”.

That great ol' Jehovah God! Just when we think all is lost, He does something to remind us that He has already conquered this world!

OK; I’m not on FB so I wouldn’t know. But if he starts a media company, he won’t be the only voice. Many of his interviews prior to the Dangerous Faggot Tour of college campuses were quite erudite and even scholarly. Hope he chooses wisely going forward.

A I fear Milo may be a "David Brock Part Two." Brock was a very skilled writer and supposedly hardcore conservative. He was also gay and was not in the closet. He turned to extreme left wing ideology and became the founder and head of Media Matters.

nd on the other hand, Andrew Breitbart helped set up the Huffington Post and grew up in liberal Hollywood, but turned right and started a cultural revolution without which we wouldn't have Trump. Sometimes you have to roll the dice. It's not my $12M, so I'm going to wait and see.

The other point of contrast here is that Milo has not been in the closet, so his relationship with conservatives has not been one of suppressed resentment, but rather "take it or leave it." Not approving or disapproving; just sayin.'

That is an excellent idea. Shouldn't be hard for PBS subscribers or cable slaves to stop writing those checks to "MarxismTV" and start writing them to a real news and features network.

So - they want to start up a “Conservative” network that believes in pedophilia and abortion... but hey, they are otherwise “conservative”...

Except in this business you have to have a billion to survive long enough to “build Rome.”

Think Henry Kaiser entering the auto business in the 1950s
