USA: Network For Conservative Entertainment Launches

Booker Rising mentioned this project back in April. Well, it's now finalized. American actor Kelsey Grammer backs RightNetwork, a new U.S. network that provides entertainment for conservatives. From ABC News (hat tip: Carol M. Swain): "Investors hope that the support of a conservative audience that has made Fox News Channel and radio hosts such as Rush Limbaugh successful could also work for entertainment programming, said Kevin McFeeley, RightNetwork's president. 'We feel the precedent has been set,' he said. Grammer, the Emmy-winning star of 'Frasier,' said the network represented a desire by him and some political friends 'to stop allowing people who hate us to define us.' 'If you have NBC, ABC, you have entire networks flooded with a very particular point of view,' he said. 'They won't admit it, but it's clearly the way it is. There's plenty of room for us.'"

Booker Rising response: The concept is good, but I'm not feeling the results so far. It ain't a good look to go to the RightNetwork website to see the full lineup, see a "All That's Right With The World" tagline, and no black, Hispanic, or Asian conservatives in the mix. The only color on that website is President Obama, and that's in a mocking manner ("ObamaHood", as in Robin Hood). Right now, it's looking like "WhiteNetwork". Do better!
