Reelz comes to the rescue of Donald Trump's homeless Miss USA pageant (Reelz a better choice anyway)

LOS ANGELES – The Miss USA pageant, left without a TV home following blowback against co-owner Donald Trump over his comments on Mexican immigrants, has been rescued by the Reelz channel.

In a statement Thursday, Reelz CEO Stan E. Hubbard said the cable and satellite channel acquired the rights because of a belief that the pageant and the women who compete in it “are an integral part of American tradition.”

(It's great television, also)

51 young women. Most of them recently brainwashed by our liberal education system. All of them ready to espouse equality and diversity principles. Each gets an open mic at some point during the pageant.

Donald Trump as the event sponsor.

What could go wrong?

I will make it a point to watch this pageant to show my support for Trump and REELZ (and also ‘FIGHTING THE LEFTIST MEDIA CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRUTH’), and suffer through the swimsuit competition. Ugg. /s

I found the channel, and am dialed in and ready.

Big time.

Good point.

Another reason to get rid of the “speaking” part as should have been done in the beggining.

These pageants were originally created as meat markets for wealthy men to scour the nation for the most beautiful mistresses. Today they’re kinda trashy and I see more beautiful women every day in Manhattan

I've called my cable provider to complain that since NBC and Univision aren't showing the pageant, I'm not getting programming I should in my package. I asked why they can't make provisions with Reelz to show it in place of NBC programming. They won't, but the argument leaves them uncomfortable.

Our goal should be to get EVERYONE to watch it, if not available on their cable network, by online streaming from Reelz. Let's make it the most viewed pageant EVER !!!

It's all we have to fight with....numbers. And we matter. Law-abiding moral US citizens are the people who still have money to spend. Choose expenditures wisely. Outfits like Amazon and Macy's don't need to be in business if they punish freedom of expression!

ggrrrr.....

What is your favorite date question to contestant. “I would have to say April 21st. It’s not too hot or cold and all I need is a sweater.”

It will be on a Sunday, but which Sunday has not yet been determined. Correct me if I’m wrong but we need to follow up when date is announced.

I believe it is going to be a week from this Sunday, on the 12th.

They already had an announcement on REELZ, I just caught it in passing, they have not updated the schedule yet however.

Will know more soon.

There will surely be an opportunity to denounce Trump. Some girl will know she is going to lose, and will take it out on the press’s new favorite whipping boy. Trust me.
