Axios' Jonathan Swan hears Bannon has told friends he sees a massive opening to the right of Fox News, raising the possibility that he's going to start a network.
- Bannon's friends are speculating about whether it will be a standalone TV network, or online streaming only.
- Before his death in May, Roger Ailes had sent word to Bannon that he wanted to start a channel together. Bannon loved the idea: He believes Fox is heading in a squishy, globalist direction as the Murdoch sons assume more power.
- Now he has the means, motive and opportunity: His chief financial backer, Long Island hedge fund billionaire Bob Mercer, is ready to invest big in what's coming next, including a huge overseas expansion of Breitbart News.
On Day 1, Breitbart declared he's taking his West Wing infighting to the outside, telling Bloomberg Businessweek's Josh Green that he's "going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America."
The reality is that Bannon will go nuclear on former colleagues he calls "West Wing Democrats": economic adviser Gary Cohn, Jared and Ivanka ("Javanka," as he calls them) and Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell.
The revved-up Breitbart operation is also likely to target Speaker Ryan, as it did before Trump.

I love the way you think!
I'm sick of Murdoch's Liberal Sons!
They didn't appreciate having a good thing & making $1 Billion+ in profits, now let's kill off FOX News!!!
Yes!
‘Bet this was the plan all along between Trump and Bannon’
This might have been in the back of Bannon’s mind, which was why he refused to ‘play along’ with any signs of an Establishment takeover.
What if Hannity joined Bannon’s news broadcast?
Good for Bannon.
How about buying Google, amazon TV or Netflix?
They also fostered the Federal Reserve, Bilderbergers and other International groups. When the league of nations failed, they formed the CFR - Council on Foreign Relations, and then got the UN - set up by FDR's right hand man-a communist spy.
I sure hope that there are people on the right who still believe in a constitutional republic, and that they work just as hard to take back the country as these myopic little minded snobs have done to get us to this sad state of affairs.

How about a variety of newspeople from all over America-—new to the news business-maybe a “let’s hear from the people” segment each hour. Say one hour it’s someone from Atlanta and they report on interesting news from that area...Interview different people, use a true reporter’s feed live type and do this all over America. I bet it would be very catchy and you would find some true gems in the midst who could rise up and become better newspeople than the current crop of losers out there! Personally, I would love to do a segment on “places I’ve travelled” and show different vacation areas
I do too. Buying CNN would be a good idea.
“.....for an invite to all the elitist smarty parties.”
They will never ever belong. They are Rupert’s sons.
Why work for the WH at all then?
On my FIOS we have The Blaze , NewsMax and 1America and none come close to FNC viewership. They all seem to be new.
Not widely known and not widely available, I don’t think.
I don’t see them competing with Fox. I don’t see a hypothetical Bannon streaming network competing with Fox.
