Trump calls on CNN to create conservative network only featuring him
Wash Examiner ^ | 11/11/22 | Luke Gentile

Posted on 11/15/2022 7:46:01 AM PST by NeverCheney

Former President Donald Trump called on CNN Thursday to create a network that only features him.

Trump made the statement in an email sent to supporters and said creating a conservative CNN would be the "smart" move. "If CNN were smart, they'd open up a Conservative network, only have me on, and it would be the most successful network in History," the statement read.

Wouldn’t CNN have to license the rights to the phrase “Biggest Loser” from NBCUniversal?

CNN has talked about Trump 24/7 for the last 7 years.

This is a lesson in Trolling 101, folks.

Pay little attention to the ones who get offended, especially here on FR.

I think he was taking a shot at CNN, pointing out that their reporting on him has helped keep them alive.

Now that would be meaningful.

Too bad "MeTV" is already taken, it would've been the perfect name for it.

The former president then went on to take sole credit for the success or failure of a myriad of networks and platforms.

Okay Donnie.

Maybe these fools need to look up what the meaning of a “joke” is.

IF this wasn’t a forum I would swear FR has a gas leak or something in the water.

The media is STILL winning over us with this psy-op. Making us parrot whatever they want us too.

I understand, and I'd guess most Freepers understand, that Trump's just making a joke here about a network featuring nothing but him. But the guy needs to read the room a bit, and understand that to a lot of voters this just sounds like delusional arrogance.

I’m sure Trump was dead serious and I’m also sure that CNN would be willing to take his advice. Such good journalism coming from the Examiner.

The title of this piece is not what he said in the content. It has been made to look that way.

He’s trolling them of course but it’s still true.

The President of El Salvador pointed out CNN’s irrelevancy when he compared daily viewers of the national TV network there - 1 million - to CNN’s 500,000 in a country almost 50 times as populous.

Trump would improve on that by at least 5 fold.

So what if there is a "Trump News Network"? I'm sure there are people would watching, but is it enough to carry the overhead and staffing required?

Nothing stops Trump from forming an Internet-based news network featuring just him. Or featuring only "verified" Conservatives. But can it compete with the existing web sites that cater to Conservatives?

On another note, does he think he has enough "pull" to appear on cable? That same cable cord that I've spent years cutting?

Then there is the question of the business model for such an entity. Are there enough buyers of advertising to pay for everything?

If Trump is serious, it's time to stop talking and start doing.
