No link yet - Breaking News.CNN New York - Wealthy Trump donor Robert Mercer confirmed reports that he will fully fund ousted adviser Steve Bannon's new "Breitbart TV" channel, which seeks to pull far-right viewers away from Fox News. Mercer's daughter Rebekah will oversee the channel's programming, working closely with Bannon.
Breitbart News will air on a 24 hour a day basis, 7 days a week. The Mercers released a sample day's worth of programming earlier this morning.
"I'm very, very excited to be able to bring our vision and agenda to the American TV viewer," Rebekah told reporters. "It's time that our voices are heard, and I know that many people feel abandoned by the alt-left programming that has overtaken Fox News."
A typical Wednesday on the channel will include:
6:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Morning Milo: Host Milo Yiannopoulos makes his triumphant return to Breitbart, offering a lively morning mix of political commentary and celebrity cooking segments. "We want to celebrate fine dining for the alt-right," Rebekah stated. "On one show we have Stephen Miller sharing his favorite recipe for bologna and American cheese on Wonder Bread with just a splash of Miracle Whip."
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Oh, You Betcha: Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin returns to TV as host of this exciting game show, in which white supremacists are asked "gotcha" questions. Each time they answer correctly, Governor Palin winks into the camera and exclaims "Oh, you betcha!" Mercer is particularly excited about this show, stating "I see ratings gold."
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Stephen Baldwin's Wild Kingdom: The conservative Baldwin brother takes alt-right viewers through a fun and free-wheeling tour of New York, spotlighting clubs, restaurants and other hot spots where the young and hip conservative can kick back, enjoy a cold one, and not be intimidated by "others."
12:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Sploogin' With The Nuge: It's your daily three-hour block of Uncle Ted killin' and grillin' while performing his greatest hit, "Cat Scratch Fever." Ted reflects on many topics of the day, such as serving in the U.S. Military (or not), and the legal age for adults to date minors in all 50 states.
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: My Balls Are Hard featuring Kelsey Grammar: The beloved former star of "Frasier" offers a fast-paced panel discussion featuring the best and brightest Hollywood conservatives.
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Lee Greenwood's God Bless The USA: The man behind America's most patriotic song performs it nightly and spends three hours explaining what the song means to him. Each episode ends with a stirring, patriotic reprise of the song by Lee and the Pat Robertson choir.
9:00 PM - 12:00 AM: Bannon & Friends: Breitbart's own Pirate in Chief hosts a three hour discussion about Jared Kushner, explaining why he must be removed from power and publicly shamed. Beloved heiress and celebrity Paris Hilton is a recurring guest as "Ivanka," Kushner's wife and daughter of the President.
12:00 AM - 6:00 AM: Encore performances of Morning Milo and Lee Greenwood's God Bless The USA.

(18,837 posts)Bannon wants to re-brand Fox News as shifting to the left, which is nothing more than revenge for Rupert sitting down with Trump and urging him to "get rid of that guy."
It will be news porn for every tiki torch carrying mouth-breather across the USA.

(6,324 posts)If they drag 50% away that would make Fox basically unsustainable as a network without chopping lots of expenses and even then they may go bankrupt.
And no advertisers with any real deep pockets are going to touch a Brietbart TV network with a 10 foot pole, you can only sell so many ads for gold investment scams, Chic-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby, so that will flop too.
