New Conservative Entertainment Network Launches

Emmy-winning Actor and conservative Kelsey Grammer is lending his distinctly familiar voice in promoting RightNetwork, a new online and cable on-demand programming channel offering alternative programming with a decidedly right-of-center spin. ”We’re not out to vilify or accuse or identify anybody as an enemy,” Grammer has said. “We’re out there to encourage people to open their minds and take a look at some things that we as a group of people believe is the right direction for the country.”
With a growing base of outspoken conservatives drawn out of political slumber by the rising tea party movement and an entertainment industry continually pushing the bar away from family-friendly wholesome entertainment, Grammer and fellow investors–including Ed Snider, chairman of Comcast-Spectacor and owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers–saw a growing demand for a RightNetwork. Programming is available at RightNetwork.com and to Verizon FiOS customers. Wireless company Nokia also offers on-the-go access.
“We’re middle-of-the road people who have a fairly conservative approach to government, that’s all. Less government,” Grammer says. “It’s not some insidious group of people who are plotting some horrible takeover.”
The on-demand programming caters to new trends in at-home television viewing, where families select programs from their DVR lists or from cable companies’ on-demand offerings. Best of all, RightNetwork’s programming casts a wide net of interests for potential viewers:
“If you have NBC, ABC, you have entire networks flooded with a very particular point of view,” Grammer says. “They won’t admit it, but it’s clearly the way it is. There’s plenty of room for us.”

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 7:04pmLike FOX NEWS, the RightNetwork is the BIGGEST FEAR for the socialist propaganda networks. AND, like FOX NEWS, once RightNetwork gets established, it will DOMINATE viewing by American citizens. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kelsey Grammer! I can’t wait to watch.

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 7:27pmToo bad. I used to like old Frazier Crane.
Here is a sampling of the fall line up…………on the right network
” Sister, Wife, Daughter”
An Alabama Republican State Senator tries to make though life explaining how his girlfriend is his sister, wife and daughter all at the same time.
“Flat Broke”
An old retired tea party couple lose their life savings buying Beck and Palin merchandise and move into the local YMCA and room with same-sex couple.
“Ducking and Weaving”
A minister of a suburban mega church goes to extremes to avoid the IRS and maintain his churches tax exempt status.
Does anyone have any other programming ideas?

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 9:02pmD-Bags, back in the 1930′s the Nazis boycotted the Jews to harrass them. (Ever see that famous picture of the Nazis standing in front of a Jewish storefront? So reminiscent of the New Black Panther picture outside the polling place in Philly.) Are you that insecure that you have to run to Van Jones to start a boycott? Can‘t stand that there’s opinions that go against yours? You’re such a wimpy tattletale! Grow up, immature Nazi wannabe thug!

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 9:59pmdanglingbags,
Good Grief you liberals and your ridiculous claims of non-sponsorships. Glenn doesn‘t have to worry about the liberal community sponsoring his show and I am sure the New Republican network won’t either.
If I may? how many times did Glenn mention the iPad on his show? Or how about the founding fathers show when he was clearly drinking a Pepsi. Do you think he was doing that for free? Every time he mentioned the iPad his bank account got allot bigger or every time he took a sip of that Pepsi. You guys are so narrow minded that you only see the pretty commercials there are other ways to advertise,
So basically you have been duped and don’t even know it. This is Capitalism at its finest and you Euro-Americans can’t dilute 100% pure Americanism “Makin Dat Money”. Now for heaven‘s sakes don’t boycott Apple, which I don’t believe a liberal would ever do. How about a nationwide boycott of all Apple products? Common I dare ya, I double dog dare ya! Of course that means you would have to switch to a PC and windows 7… ohhhhhh the horror! How about a Zune for your hippie music collection? Man you can almost feel Steven‘s presence when you touch an Apple product can’t you, you dirty boy.

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 10:42amHello, I am DANGLINGBASESESES biological father. I would like to take the time to apologize to my little D-bag and the rest of the community for dropping that little D-bag on it’s head when it was very young. I say it because it (D-bag) is a hermaphrodite.
D-bag had a very rough life when it was younger. That is why D-bag and D-bag’s jobless-mulitpeirced-green/yellow/blue-haired-neo-hippie friends are angry with America. They feel left out.
Please do not hold hard feelings against D-bag. D-bag is really a wonderful hermaphrodite. You can see this in the way my beloved offspring responded to the double rainbow on youtube.
Thank you all. I must now leave you so I can clean up my house so that D-bag and I can catch the new episode of Whale Wars tonight.
