The theory that Donald Trump is preparing for a defeat at the polls in November by planning to launch a media company is really picking up momentum.
The rumors started swirling earlier this summer. After a few op-eds came out about the idea last week, CNN tackled it this weekend. Now that Fox News’ Sean Hannity has revealed himself to be informally advising Trump, The Young Turks took it on, too:
Cenk Uygur mentioned in a broadcast that Hannity, Steve Bannon, and Roger Ailes, all of whom have been rumored — with varying levels of confirmation — are big in conservative media. That, then, could mean that Trump really is gearing up to launch a media company and bring all of his followers and voters along with him.
“He’s gathered together here a little bit of a posse of conservative media,” Uygur explained. “Now, part of the reason — people think — for that is at least [the] possibility that afterwards, they’re going to start their own media company and they view this as just a money-making exercise. ‘Let’s gather up as large an audience as we can. Even if we lose, even if we get blown out, who cares? If you’ve got 40% of the country on your side and you can monetize that through the media, well, we’ll be in great shape.'”
Trump may well be going the route of Sarah Palin, who launched a short-lived subscription service for videos of her talking last year.

Except NOBODY watches, reads, or cares about young Turks...
That would love to see the Trump channel.
It’ll be the New Fox News, but better.
I always listen to ignorant crazy people when I want to understand what’s going on in the world.
After the MONSTER VOTE...and LIBERALS scratch their heads wondering why TRUMP is their new POTUS and Trump Derangement system kicks into uber high gear...this idea will go away
but after he gets out of office......hey ITS A GREAT IDEA AIN’T IT?
LOL
FREEGARDS
lex
+1 on that, Trump channel with no mercy on TPP, Illegals, abortion on demand and 2nd amendment. etc. where Fox is shaky sometimes...
Why would we care about an organization that is named after the group (the Young Turks) that committed the Armenian genocide?
No Islamists please.
Awwww, shut up!
Exactly!!! :)
or.....perhaps Trump could be planning to be President AND have his kids running a media company to support his agenda??
Complete stupidity. Trump knows the LSM is his enemy, so he has brought on board some conservative media experts.
These people are dumb, ignorant, insane, or all three.
they view this as just a money-making exercise.
LOL. With a Clinton on that ballot this line of attack on Trump is hilarious. What did she get from Goldman? $10,000 a minute I believe?
Cenk Uygur.
Is is just me, or does this guy’s name sound like some evil dark place from one of Tolkien’s books???
This guy is a dope.
They had two black women for Trump (Silk and Diamond?) explaining to him why they support him, and he could not have been more condescending to them, and boy, did they lay into him to the point I got the distinct impression he had grabbed a tiger by the tail and had no idea how to let it go.
They had no problem detecting his condescension, and stepped up their assault bilaterally on him. It was great.
They can’t use Trump News Network, as TNN is already taken. Oh, wait, that’s BET.
Come on, FreeRepublic isn’t THAT bad.

Or Sean Hannity. He lost me several years ago by constantly talking over his guests, his stupid laugh, and the you’re a great American, no you’re a great American crap. Plus he brings on libs all the time to get their side and it turns into a big argument. Another reason I don’t watch Fox News either...
