Fox News obtains casting notice for “up-and-coming conservative media network,” fears it’s Trump TV

Fox News obtains casting notice for “up-and-coming conservative media network,” fears it’s Trump TV

"SNIP..............



An “up-and-coming conservative media network currently in development” is holding a casting call at an undisclosed New York City studio on the night before Election Day, according to a casting notice obtained by established conservative media network Fox News.

The notice says the network requires on-air talent “be knowledgeable about conservative viewpoints, current events and the presidential election,” “look upscale and intelligent,” and be “outspoken and energetic.”

Fox News is logically paranoid that the super-secret casting call signals the launch of Donald Trump’s rumored media venture:

While the casting call doesn’t identify any specific employer, it does suggest initial programming will be streamed on the internet, infrastructure the Trump campaign has already set up through its Facebook live feed where aides have been broadcasting events and counter news programming.

it is Trump TV. Didn't think he'd cross you this badly, did you? All your knuckle dragging viewers will flock, at least until they have to pay for the privilege. Trump intends to demolish Fox, and I couldn't be happier about that. He even joked about it; he used the old scorpion and frog story; they knew he was a scorpion when they took him in. Now he's going to sting them, and I for one think it's terrific. Long overdue.

Give him show ideas

"Breakfast Bunker Club" One of those morning news shows but this one is set in a nuclear fallout shelter with the hosts sitting on milkcrates eating military dehydrated meals and drinking from canteens

"Sssssssh" Host Alex Jones whispers his latest delusions on what he believes is happening "out there". Special guests include alien abductees and some guy who locked himself in a footlocker and wont come out.
