A freedom oriented, tea-party type news network would take over the world.

Not stuffy.

Defiant. Edgy. In your face independent.

THAT is what would sell. Not dignity. Defiance.

Sell to whom? That's 180 degrees from the direction of something that I would watch.

Then again, you might be on to something. I won't name, names, but I recently (within the last month) had lunch with a fellow FReeper and his wife. The subject came up, that this guy thought I was a liberal plant for years, but when he'd search my posts, couldn't actually find a liberal position I'd taken.

Then he admitted he had figured out what it was that gave him that impression: I'm not angry or emotional, and even give the impression that I look down on those who are angry and emotional. I don't hate Obama, or Clinton, or anyone else, and it shows. My opposition is purely on policy, and I tolerate those who disagree with me without any negative emotions whatsoever.

So, you could be on to something. Maybe a network as you suggest, that does rile the emotions of those who are heavily emotionally invested might just fly. Just not with me.
