[Infowarrior] - Comcast launching 'Right' Channel

[Richard Forno]

Comcast apparently is launching a political-right channel (http://rightnetwork.com/) this year.

"We’re creating a welcome place for millions and millions of Americans who’ve been looking for an entertainment network and media channel that reflects their point-of-view. Rightnetwork will be the perfect platform to entertain, inform and Connect with the American majority about what’s right in the world."
- Ed Snider, Chairman of Comcast-Spectacor

According to their "sell book" (http://rightnetwork.com/RIGHTNETWORKlookbook.pdf):

"RightNetwork delivers programming on demand that enables our audience to watch what they want, when they want. Everything Right, at the click of a remote. the lineup focuses on entertainment with pro-America, pro-business, pro-military sensibilities — compelling content that inspires action, invites a response, and influences the national conversation."

...but do we need another 'political' channel to influnce -- er, disrupt, distract, and distort -- the national conversation?  Liberals flock to MSNBC; Conservatives flock to Fox.   CNN flocks to Twitter. Sounds to me like this is an attempt to capitalize on the populist-angry mentality of the country these days....and from what I can tell, this network really should be called the Teabaggers Network anyway (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFi-IXPjArs).

Stand by for more mindless chants of "USA USA" and the belief that America can do no wrong, ever....
