Needs to be one that is competitive. Maybe they can buy CNN

I watched his speech tonight on OAN, as well as all of his campaign rallies.

Maybe he and Bill O’Reilly can work together.
Of course, Bill may decide that he really likes being retired, much to his own surprise.

These days, nearly every network is right of Faux Snooze! The Murdoch boys are making sure of that. Faux Snooze has become an anti-Trump mouthpiece!

Excellent idea. Buy CNN and fire the jerks, then rebuild with neutral journalists and conservative commentators. I read somewhere that Bannon and Mercer might team up - Bannon's ideas and Mercer's money.

This would be an outstanding idea. And it is for sale

They could also tap Bill Shine and Bill OReilly, also Eric Bolling, Charles and they could get Hannity when his contract expires.

CBS will be buying CNN if it's spun off. They've been trying for years.

I think the best bet would be to buy an independent cable network that is available on most major cable and sat providers. Then, bring in some big names like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity to get immediate exposure. The network would take off quickly and grow as the on air talent was expanded with other conservatives from Fox News and elsewhere.

Hope it’s a tv network and can be found not just on cable. The public is in the dark ages out there. Need the info.

FOX is still my preferred news network, but, I can be won over to a network that doesn’t have Shep and the Murdoch brothers. And, those “Specialists” at 5, who are mostly liberals (not Eric Bolling, but he’s not there now).
