I’m going on record: this merger will be a disaster. I know many FReepers do not like him but I feel this is a be a bad mistake by Mark Levin.
I could care less about Beck. Wish my local talk radio station (WGAC, Augusta, GA) would replace him with something decent.
Mark Levin is/was a Freeper. I met hin in the bar of the Capital Hill Holiday Inn at a Free Republic gathering. He has the credentials.
I can not speak to the wisdom of the merger on the basis of surface reports. I suspect there might be more than meets the eye.
For instance, we do not know who else is involved from the production end or especially the money end.
What if there is really a lot of money involved and they bought Fox News? To be successful there must be savvy TV types and savvy money types. I would believe that there are very competent silent pardners/advisors actually running the show
