Casting notice goes out for new 'up-and-coming' conservative news network

Source: Fox News

Donald Trump denies he is interested in launching a new conservative news venture, but somebody sure is.

What's being billed as an "up-and-coming conservative media network currently in development" is now scouring for hosts, reporters and right-leaning, well-spoken panelists, according to a brand new casting notice obtained Wednesday evening by Fox News.

The notice goes on to say the on-air talent the network wants "must be knowledgeable about conservative viewpoints, current events and the presidential election," adding applicants must also "look upscale and intelligent," and should be "outspoken and energetic."

Auditions are being held at an undisclosed New York City studio on Nov. 7, the eve of Election Day.

They left that out!!! How can you have a Reich-wing propaganda factory drawing in the Cheetos-eating reliably angry, paranoid, racists chumps without that?

Because with great cleavage comes great responsibility. Or so I have been told. (Or is it great responsibility comes with great cleavage? So confusing...)

that the only way they can hope to sell it is to rebrand it as "New!"

Once the political middle holds, this new bs is going to look like cold
scrambled eggs in dishwater

Given opportunity, freedom, and a path forward, Americans will put
these angry nutjobs behind them no matter how good they look

And intelligent they aren't. That will take a while to sink in though.

Trump is a horrible businessman so I'm not worried. Now if he gets Koch or Adelson backing, a different story. Let him wildly spend their money, and Trump TV might last a little longer

If Trump TV ever happens, and I think it's likely, there's little doubt it my mind that the women will be sexualized... even more than FOX.

about as "real" as me telling you I am fair and fit and forty!). These asswipes are going to "play" at being newspeople.

I hope the pushback is vicious and the enterprise falls flat on its ass.

Of course, it appeals to Trump's constituency--they all look like couch potatoes who stretch out on the cushions with their guns at their sides.

and it doesn't have to just be news. He has connections with the sports (wrestling like Hulk Hogan & boxing with Don King & Mike Tyson) and entertainment worlds. It could be something to compete with Fox News but with a broader suite of programming (although Fox has other channels including business and their "FX" channel).

Doesn't mean it will succeed but he'll have an early built-in audience until he works on his next venture (this kind of idiot is a rolling stone that goes from venture to venture to venture to escape the tax man, so when they come knocking and he's bored, he'll move on).
