I don't want a "conservative" television news network. Journalists and tv/cable news networks should be dedicated to facts without ideology or slant.
Blogs and radio commentators are where I go for conservative interpretation of the facts. My news sources should be unfettered with agenda.

That's the point. At least you get all the facts reported. You don't get the news now. You only get portions of the news. That's the whole point of a conservative news network. Something that gives you the truth.

I suggest you start praying sincerely for "they Kingdom come, they will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven." Because until that prayer is answered there is no such thing as "fair and balanced". Everything is filtered through our biases and beliefs based on "the knowledge of good and evil."

Good post...I think there's a lot of us that would like that station but we ain't gonna get it. The Internet is probably about as close as we'll get.

Then what you want is what we all want, a comprehensive news network with a real penchant for journalistic integrity and ethics, and not the sham journalism that prevails today.
Comprehensive Network News... Definitely not CNN.

Wait a second. With the inception of a truly conservative news network, would FoxNews still be "right wing" and "extremist?":
While Fox is indeed considerably less prone to infusing its news coverage with the sort of left-wing propagandist rhetoric that its television counterparts use to distort the important events of the day, it is still far from conservative in nature. Calling the Fox News Network right-wing simply because it's not as overtly liberal as CBS or MSNBC, is sort of like suggesting that a Golden Retriever is actually a house cat because it's not as vicious and obtuse as most Rottweilers or Chows.

We may never get it,I agree.But I bet if we did, it would be a success.

About the only show on Fox News that is worth anything anymore is Brit Hume's show...
But, given the choice between Fox, CNN, or MSNBC...or the networks...it will be Fox News Channel.

People confuse news reporting with editorializing. A lot of journalists want to be commentators and all too often it shows in their reporting. If you want conservative commentary, you can get that in any number of ways that didn't exist ten or fifteen years ago. That's what Fox and Rush Limbaugh, the Internet, etc, are for. Straight news should just be news.
