Someone is planning a NEW conservative network to compete with FOX!!

According to Mediaite, there are plans to start a new conservative network to compete with Fox News. But their rationale for the necessity of such a thing is really odd.

Read on, friendo. 

On the heels of major shakeups at the Fox News Network, an alternative conservative network is being actively discussed amongst conservative fat cats.

A well-placed source close to the proposal tells Mediaite that serious discussions are underway to create an alternative conservative cable network on the belief that the Fox News Network is moving too far to the left. The source, who is engaged in the talks, says a meeting is planned for today with two prominent high-powered television executives, some underperforming conservative networks and people who have an interest and the ability to fund a new network.

They speculate on who might jump onto such a thing, but who thinks Fox is too “left-wing”? If anything, it’s just getting too populist, pro-Trump. This sounds like it might be a Breitbart or alt-right project, because they’re the ones who constantly complain about the existence of any Democrat at all on Fox News.

But even if it’s not I wonder if there’s much demand for such a thing given Fox’s stranglehold on conservative/right viewers. I guess if there’s a chance at all it’s right now when Fox is weakened by sex scandal. What do you think?
