The Sarah Palin Channel: $99.95 a Year, Comes With Salad (It's already driving them nuts)

In her latest media-politics endeavor, the former governor seeks to escape the "filters," this time between her and her fans' credit cards.

In the welcome video to the Sarah Palin Channel, the former governor of Alaska explains her motivation for starting a personal subscription network: “We’ll go beyond the soundbites and the media’s politically correct filter to get to the truth.”

Over her six years in the national spotlight, Sarah Palin has not exactly lacked for media platforms, filtered or unfiltered. She’s had a reality show on TLC and one currently on Sportsman Channel. She’s been a paid contributor to Fox News. And should even Fox prove too much filter for her truth, she’s had no problem taking her message direct, on Twitter, on Facebook and in videos. For Palin to have less-filtered access to the consciousness of her followers, she would have to possess their very souls.

But the most notable distinction about this brand-new platform, so far, is that it allows the former governor to get a message out to the public without the traditional, mainstream filter between her and your wallet. A subscription to SarahPalinChannel.com is $9.95 a month, or $99.95 a year (with a two-week free trial period). That’s 96 cents more a month than a Netflix streaming subscription. It’s 95 cents more a year than an annual subscription to Amazon Prime, which also offers music, streaming TV and movies, Kindle benefits, and free shipping. Not here....

I think announcing a very small monthly fee like 2.99 to cover operating costs and pay the help would have really blown the libs away with the statement “ I want to make sure the truth is available to everyone”...

$2.99/month, eh? Why not 99-cents? Why not $19.99/month? Why not $9.99/month?

Here's hoping you contribute to FR monthly. Thanks. R2z

I have contributed, not monthly....Sarcasm recognized, but not necessary....

You're right. My comment method was unnecessary. But honest. And not sarcasm.

They have understood that the channel is a precursor to Gov Palin’s run for the White House in 2016. It will serve multiple purposes: 1) She will raise enough money for her presidential run without having to rely on donations, and (2) she can begin interacting with conservative voters and campaigning ahead of the rest of the candidates. Sheer genius!

Just how is she exploiting conservatives. ?

Do you have gun to your head making you spend $9.95 a month...?
