"Tea Party to Launch Own News Network"

[txdemsftw]

Excerpted from Politico: Tea Party conservatives are getting their very own news site.

'The Tea Party News Network, self-described as “the only trusted news source and the antidote to mainstream media bias,” is already live but will announce its launch tomorrow morning, with plans to start live video on election day. TPNN claims to have a “war room of 40-plus volunteers” who will operate out of the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, and has established partnerships with the Talk Radio Network and radio host Rusty Humphries, who will be co-anchoring the election night coverage.'

1. Now who owns the Venetian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Adelson#Las_Vegas.2C_Nevada

Yup!

[DCBob]

8. Adelson... Romney's sugar daddy.

pathetic.

[tanyev]

2. Live broadcast of the circular firing squad.

That could be some must-see TV.

[CTyankee]

6. You're telling me it will!

I think we'll see live some epic melt downs, screams, fits and general pandemonium.

Hope the righties don't hurt themselves or have strokes/heart failures.

[kysrsoze]

11. Anybody have a start date? I'm dying to see this. It'll be at least a laugh a minute.

[Evasporque]

39. Followed by live footage of Area 51 Alien Autopsy and Obama Kenya home movies....nt

[yellowcanine]

3. Why do they need two news networks? They already have Fox.

[txdemsftw]

4. Yep..

Even the hacks on our local Repuke AM radio show were saying this morning how stupid it was and that it was just a huge waste of money and time.

Stupid tea (douche) baggers.

[Mothdust]

13. frankly This is not a laughing matter

The multibillionaires can buy whatever they want and create propaganda machines. As they destroy unions, interfere in elections, and manipulate private and foreign industry, who knows how soon they will have their 4th Reich established? The likes of us may be reduced to house servents before long if we're lucky enough to surviving at all.

18. It'll last until the first paychecks are due and then fold up like an old moth eaten wallet.

Key word in the above post: "40 Volunteers".

They don't call conservatives "tightwads" for nothing and people don't continue to work for free.

[Mothdust]

24. i hope your right but

They fact that people volunteer underscores their fanaticism, seems to explain why practically half the country will be voting for Romney against their own best interest. It's plainly irrational and the gazillionaires know it and use it - just how they olderate in churches - no?

[Hugin]

35. I will admit your concern is warranted.

Given the fanatical nuttery we've seen over the past dozen or so years.

But, their current Sugar Daddy is going to tire of them quickly and begin to see them as a drain on his musty old vault. When that happens, it's over for this current manifestation of Right Wing bile.

[JHB]

29. They're either already cannibalizing each other, or...

...preparing for a post-Rupert world at Fox.

Or both. Adelson wants news spun the way HE likes it, which doesn't always mesh with RupertVision, and he has enough money to blow a few molecules of it toward a vanity network.also, Murdoch's days as king of NewsCorp are numbered, whether by the Grim Reaper or the Grim Prosecutor. There's no guarantee that whoever runs it afterward will have quite the same ardor for political self-dealing.

[kelliekat44]

5. Are they going to rename FOX"News?"

[spanone]

7. we already HAVE a comedy channel!!!!!

[Barack_America]

9. Fox too "fair and balanced"?

[struggle4progress]

34. "Fox is controlled by commies"

[n2doc]

10. I guess Adelson got too jealous of Murdoch

Maybe each billionaire can have their own 'news' channel...

[KharmaTrain]

12. Just What Faux Noise Needs...

...someone who will outlie and outshout them. I kinda like the concept of the two going off the abyss together...disconnecting with more and more people along the way.

Yep...looks like Adelson's gonna keep throwing away his money (fine with me) and hopefully he'll hire lots of blowhards who will suck his money. Nothing gathers more gadflies than an open checkbook. Sheldon's done this in Israel with his free newspaper. I guess if you don't like reality and you have loads of money...you create your own.

16. I think someone should monitor this station

in case they decide to incite armed revolution in the wake of an Obama victory.

[brooklynite]

17. Open and ready to serve you...

Here's some critical "journalism".....

Reuters: Beyond debate, Pennsylvania is in play

The death of polling industry credibility

Menendez sex scandal too little too late

Alan Grayson’s Rapetastic Fundraiser

Benghazi coverup worse than Watergate

GOP voting “tsunami” coming?

[Skidmore]

19. Faux must be part of the librul media now.

Must be Adelson's basement project. Some guys just build model trains in their basement.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Jon Stewart's next Award is guaranteed.

Remember when the right tried to start their own humor network based on what right-wingers thought was funny?

It lasted two shows because they just sounded mean and racist.

[mick063]

21. After maijuana laws are reformed

We will need some mind blowing entertainment.

A bag of cheetos and the Tea Party network.

Switching back and forth from a captivating infomercial.

Far out man.

[DonRedwood]

31. how's the senate race up there?

[Generic Other]

22. Tea Party Gnus Network

"Trust our spelling. Trust our gnus."

[Snarkoleptic]

23. “war room of 40-plus volunteers”

I envision a news room fueled by Geritol and hatred, punctuated with periodic shutdowns for nap time.
Adelson will need to update the electrical systems in ballroom #17 in order to install several Medicare scooter charging stations.

[Ikonoklast]

37. Bet it will smell like Cranky Old Man and desperation.

[durablend]

25. So will they have "in-depth" reporting?

Or just a bunch of cranky old white men yelling at clouds?

[Javaman]

26. Let me guess, they will start in public access...

Because that's always a paragon of truth!

[Raine]

27. So Faux isn't good enough for them, too liberal I guess bwahahaha. nt

[rbrnmw]

28. Oh Boy I bet that will be quite the "news" network

[DonRedwood]

30. they should break from the repubs and make their own party. :0)

[Scuba]

32. When you say you're the "only trusted" you're not a news site, you're a cult.

[Efilroft Sul]

33. Tea Party News: Made with the finest blend of John Birch nuttery and steeped in lies and innuendo.

[Initech]

36. Tea Party News Network: where logic takes a holiday and all laws of science are meaningless!

[Evasporque]

38. WIll be heard on Short Wave frequencies across Amercia...

[nolabear]

40. Janine Turner, Victoria Jackson, Ted Nugent...The Deathtime Network.

In the words of Mr. Blutarsky, "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."

[Myrina]

41. The Cartoon Channel 2.0
