I understand the channel is a huge success.  It should be an easy sale.

From what they are saying. They are getting calls a couple of times a week from people wanting to buy it.

Found $1.28 in my couch cushions. But that is probably too much to make pay for that network.

Skinner should by it for his DU Denizens.  Give Queef Olberdork a one minute show and let the DUmmies fill the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day.

I just dug through the couches. $2.47 and a free beer chip from a bar that no longer exists.  I'm in for half.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I would actually like to see a REAL conservative news network.  Not the "Fair-and-blanced" FOX version.

I would first hire Greg Gutfeld to help run the place.  He's actually quite smart and funny. Hey there could even be a "dumpster" segment.   :argh:

I don't think there is anything noble about giving liberal lies equal time.  How about a news source that just tells the unvarnished and un-p.c. truth?  Now THAT would be a news network.

This is exactly what I would make it. None of this bias bs. It would be a major no no with me in charge. It would be the real news and it would be covering everything, the right way.

Current situation: Staffers talk about first meeting with Al Jazeera
http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/current_situation_XLE3W50v6I9Gbyqe6Z4pFP

Quote
“Of course Al didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility.

“He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?”

Quote
How do they feel about Gore the savior of green energy now?

The displeasure with Gore among the staff was thick enough to cut with a scimitar.

“We all know now that Al Gore is nothing but a bulls***ter,” said the staffer bluntly.

We do stories on the tax code, and he sells the network before the tax code kicked in?

“Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!”


Everything conservatives have been trying to tell these liberal idiots is coming to pass....We are getting a lot of "I TOLD YOU SO" moments.

Well, what the hell took you so long DUmmie?  I think that if you see one guy raking in gigantic mountains of cash on some nebulous idea he's peddling, it's worth a healthy dose of skepticism. 

The DUmbasses make me sick, when they encounter a fellow DUmmie being mildly critical of AlGore.  They scold, "He's done more for this planet than you ever will in your lifetime!!!"  Gullible and stupid, that's our DUmmies.
