"We need to make a Free Republic News Channel....
Maybe we could get funding from Fox for a one hour show?"

I agree, FreeRepublic should expand to a news channel. Call it Freep-News, Freeper-News, Republic News, FR News, etc?

I believe you hit upon a really good idea. What say you Freepers?

I agree with the Freeper News hour concept. I've been assessing the media recently, and one problem with FoxNews is that they strive to be balanced in an environment of clearly liberal competition.

This is the result of 30 years of liberal stranglehold on the Big Media. Call it Right Guilt , much like white guilt. It has programmed conservatives to believe we must always accomodate the Left. The Left has no similar impulse.

Even Dennis Miller works to balance out his guests, in some misguided attempt to soothe the MSNBC muckymucks. What is now needed is an unapologetic conservative show, FreeperNews if you will, that blasts the loony libs with the ridicule they deserve.

Since 9/11, the "culture" has chosen to push back hard on a host of issues: religion, patriotism, Iraq, gay marriage, treason, race baiting, class warfare, abortion... you see the desperation in their tactics.

Now is the time, this summer, for a tough new TV show, or a hilarious but scathing send-up of the panicky left, revealing their crazy conspiracy theories and blind hatreds. Imagine the fun.

Fox, or any other networks: are you lurking? Gamble one hour weekly on this concept, you could hit a viewership jackpot that will fill your pockets and change the American debate forever.

Done with wit and without apology, this show will be GIANT. I called it here, today. (for the record)
