Sarah Palin launches online TV channel

[steve2470]

Sarah Palin has announced the formation of her own Internet television news channel.

In a Facebook post late Sunday evening, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee announced the Sarah Palin Channel, an interactive, online network designed as an alternative to mainstream news media.

“This is a news channel that really is a lot more than news,” Palin said in a video introducing the network. “This is a community where we’re going to be able to share ideas and discuss the issues of the day. And we’re going to find solutions.”

The network will cost $9.95 per month or $99.95 annually for subscribers.


Tundra grifter finds another way to cash in. Ugh.

[Skidmore]

1. That is actually pretty pricey.

Anyone that would pay that kind of money to listen to her is a fool.

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. Do I gather you somehow think there is a shortage of fools in this country? n/t

[Skidmore]

38. One can only hope that day will come.

I do think it is safe to say that she will be outmarketed by the Kardashian women.

[Plucketeer]

37. I dunno....

Hell - I might be willing to pay that much a year just to NOT hear of her and her buffoonery!

[global1]

54. She'll Make Money Off The Cable News Networks, MSM Folk & Talking Heads That Will.....

be looking for her comments to use in and on their newscasts, blogs, newspapers, interviews, etc. They are the fools that will be subscribing to this and will be reporting on this to the rest of us fools.

If you build it - they will come.

[Thor_MN]

67. I'd pay that to NOT see her, Bachmann, Cruz, Rubio, Gohmert, McConell, Graham...

[RufusTFirefly]

70. Paying to NOT see her might actually cost you more

Captain Spaulding: What do you fellows get an hour?

Emanuel Ravelli: Oh, for playing we getta ten dollars an hour.

Spaulding: I see...What do you get for not playing?

Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.

Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that.

Ravelli: Now, for rehearsing we make special rate. Thatsa fifteen dollars an hour.

Spaulding: That's for rehearsing?

Ravelli: Thatsa for rehearsing.

Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?

Ravelli: You couldn't afford it.

[napkinz]

83. "she must be going ..."

[RufusTFirefly]

86. Haha! Perfect!

"Go, and never darken my towels again!"

Oh, if only Groucho and Chico were here. I bet they'd have a field day with "Wasila."

[Skidmore]

85. Thor, you are a god among men!

[George II]

78. Anyone who would listen to her for FREE is a fool!

[nxylas]

98. Members of her personality cult will pay it

But are there enough of them left to make it a viable business model?

[shenmue]

2. :(

This is gonna suck.

[CBGLuthier]

3. 99.95 for subscribers? I think they misspelled that word. Isn't it spelled S-U-C-K-E-R-S?

[trumad]

4. Grifters will grift.

[NoQuarter]

94. Word. (eom)

[BumRushDaShow]

5. That's what Glen BecKKK did when he was kicked off of Faux

and this helps these sorts of loons to weasel their way back to the public airwaves while making $$$$ off the fools willing to pay them.

[Enrique]

39. the comparisons to Glenn Beck's channel will be interesting

it's exactly the same thing, same price, etc.

The difference will be that Glenn Beck actually does a show, and Palin I think is very unlikely to do that. A show would be work. We'll see what she puts up for content, but whatever it is it won't involve a lot of effort on Sarah's part.

[steve2470]

40. she will probably sit there, read the NY Times and say stupid comments, rant away

NY Times = "evil librul lamestream media" in Palinspeak.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. She will just read what is put on the teleprompter by her handlers

and let the "guests" handle the "heavy lifting". She has no capacity to actually string together a coherent set of words into a sentence, let alone attempt to engage in any type of prolonged meaningful discussion. Her shallow party will use her in the same shallow way that they use people like Megyn Kelly (although Kelly managed to not flunk out of 5 colleges before sortof finally getting a degree from the 6th, and has gobs more credentials than Caribou Barbie). But in any case, she will be well paid for the privilege of providing yet another outlet that promotes RW propaganda that will get quoted as some sort of "legitimate source" by the M$M.

[Ilsa]

81. Maybe she'll be toasted by noon.

Then it might actually get entertaining.

She can talk about Geehovah Gaahd, and the rest of her strange musings.

[BumRushDaShow]

84. LOL

[Amonester]

102. her 'content' will be Obama = evil, evil = Obama, 24/7

with the letters I.M.P.E.A.C.H Obama for all backdrops

[mdbl]

6. she will attract the morans

and all the other screwy teabaggers who misspell easy words on their signs.

[Swede Atlanta]

7. And the old, white, cranky population of 65+ era will sign up in droves......

They will now have to choose between eating Fancy Feast cat food and watching Sarah Palin spew her faceless hatred.

They will take a liking to Fancy Feast as preferable to human food just so they can get them some Sarah.

[tblue37]

11. Fancy Feast is pretty darned pricey. Maybe you mean Friskies--or

Purina, some off-brand or store brand of cat food.

[one_voice]

34. That was my first thought as well...

talk about bad reality tv.

[onecent]

80. I beg your pardon Swede, but I am one of those old, white and probably

cranky 69 year olds...but she won't get a dime out of me...LOL

I actually didn't know that the over 65 bunch were her followers????? Tea Party????

[NoQuarter]

95. at first (speed)reading

I saw "feces hatred", and thought, "How can you hate your stock-in-trade?"

[Madmiddle]

8. Democratic Underground just advertised for it.

It will be a network filled with horrors that liberals commit. So keep up the good work you folks that side with this pariah.

[steve2470]

9. I'm not sure if Skinner can block that ad

maybe he can ? We get a lot of ugly ads here off the Google network.

[tblue37]

13. Ads are chosen by way of a program that notes the words that

occur most frequently on a page and then puts up ads that match those words.

If DU's members post a lot of stuff mocking Sarah Palin, then the Googleads program will assume that DU members want to know about products that are connected to Sarah Palin.

If DU threads are about Right Wing politicians' claims that Obama should be impeached, then Googleads will offer for sale books that call for his impeachment, or opportunities to contribute to the campaigns of politicians that demand his impeachment.

[davidpdx]

47. Well that is a good thing then

Because they are totally wasting their money. Maybe we should all start putting the word "Palin" at the end of every message to cause more ads.

[tanyev]

10. Whirling Derpish TV, where you pay by the month but it only works half a month.

[Voice for Peace]

64. ++

good one

[NightWatcher]

12. It's also available on NitWitFlix

Rocky Mountain Mike @RockyMntnMike

Sarah Palin has launched an on-line TV channel. It's also available on NitWitFlix.

[Botany]

14. audio gold

http://shane-o.com/images/audio/drops/guysgals1.mp3

[jaxind]

15. What I don't get it..

..what the hell is wrong with our country that this woman can still be of any interest to anyone after 6 years????? How can she still be in the public eye????

[steve2470]

18. She tells the less intelligent RW'ers what they want to hear

It's part of her grifting con job. I'm assuming the more intelligent Republicans/right wingers can see right through her, maybe not.

[BumRushDaShow]

52. When the News Divisions were merged with the Entertainment Divisions

at the major networks, that was the end of anything remotely approaching legitimate "news". This was allegedly done to achieve a "cost savings" and to try to get a ratings boost. The result being a has-been formerly part-time ex-Governor who lost a VP slot 6 years ago, heavily promoted across the genres of entertainment and purported "politics". Similarly you see the rise of clowns like Trump as somehow being legitimate sources for political analysis, in order to generate a "infotainment newz" cycle.

[Voice for Peace]

65. there is a certain portion of the population with a highly activated Urge to Hate.

Sarah Palin makes hating fun and sort of sexy. Simple as that.

[LynneSin]

82. Because it gives Low IQ voters the belief that even one of their own can make it big

That's about all I got there!

[GarColga]

16. I have another word

for Palin's "on-line TV channel": Website.

[Marie Marie]

91. ^^ This^^

Only one who has her delusions of grandeur would call her little internet podcast a "TV channel". Well said GarColga and welcome to DU.

[Rex]

17. Mama Bear needs a new revenue stream!

Great another talentless hack with a news show...YAWN...

[NoQuarter]

96. Great,

another brainless hack with a news show.

There fixed it for ya.

[MohRokTah]

19. I pay less per month to stream Netflix.

She's such a grifter.

Oh, and John McCain is going to hell for pushing this grifter on the American people.

[LittleGirl]

100. +1 lol n/t

[lpbk2713]

20. 80% infomercials for cheap imported doo-dads.

20% political bullshit the Quitter pulls out of her ass.

[Javaman]

21. Same stupid channel, same stupid time. (My apologies to Batman)

all stupid all the time.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

30. Same batshit channel

just a small suggestion. You can pay me $9.95 this month.

[Javaman]

32. grifting of the airwaves.

while she's a slow learner (among other things) she does pick up quickly when she smells money.

[2pooped2pop]

22. I bet the all Palin, all the time, website is going to be comedy gold

She may call it tv, but if it's internet only, isn't it just a website? News, lol, and whatever Sarah wants to chat about. Like her nails, how McCain screwed her over, how Todd is just so.............

Should make for lots of material for the late night comedy shows and other comedians to use. Wonder how long it will take her to quit? Then they could just get Elmo to replace her. Well, maybe he makes too much sense for that gig.

[hifiguy]

79. The late night comedy writers' jobs

just got a lot easier. They will strip mine this rich vein of teh stoopid.

[MineralMan]

23. Now, there's a crappy business model.

Who's going to pay $100/yr. to watch stupid talking about stupid?

The half-term Governator's little experiment isn't going to earn her squat.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

28. She'll make bank.

The people who were stupid enough to listen to her before are still that stupid.

[marmar]

25. The Idiot Box online?

[Armstead]

26. "A lot more than news"...yes craziness, crackpot theories and general idiocy for $99

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

27. Just like Paula Deen!

Maybe they can do a subscription bundle - buy access to two bigots for the price of three! (Nobody really expects their subscribers to figure out what's wrong with the math there, right?)

[dballance]

29. That is not the Onion announcing that?

Seriously, that has got to be a joke. You betcha.

[Zambero]

31. $arah for $arah's $ake

No political aspirations, no original ideas, not even original talking points. Pabulum for the misled masses, with a price tag of course.

[RockaFowler]

33. Now people are on Twitter naming her new shows

#PalinTVShows is trending right now

Here are a few

Dumb Dynasty
The Angry Grifter Show
Refudiator: The Sarah Palin Chronicles
It's all Obama's Fault

http://www.mediaite.com/online/twitter-comes-together-to-pitch-ideas-for-palintvshows/

[steve2470]

35. those are pretty funny ! nt

[global1]

55. Wasila Rose.....nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

60. Some are funny, and few are OUCH big time.

Welcome Back Quitter

Lost in Speech

Honey, I Shrunk My Brain.

and an ouch.......Diary of a McCain Fluffer

[Turbineguy]

36. Great idea.

There aren't enough channels for idiots to watch.

"..... a lot more than news,”... Indeed.

[packman]

42. If her track record says anything

give it 6 months and she'll quit.

[davidpdx]

50. Ha, great minds think alike

See my post below. I'll give her 5 months.

[Rozlee]

43. And whackier than the host will be the guests speakers.

I know too many conservatives who don't believe in climate change but believe in Big Foot.

[RoverSuswade]

44. Que Sar-ah Sar-ah

(from an old cranky white 65+er who WONT be watching!)

[L0oniX]

45. Moose riding, hunting and cooking channel?

[jmowreader]

69. And all using the same moose!

(On edit: Remember when Saint Sarah's solution to poverty in Alaska was having the poor hunt more moose?)

[Blue Owl]

46. 'BouTube

n/t

[davidpdx]

48. We should start a pool on when it will go under

I've got 5 months.

[dixiegrrrrl]

59. My first thought, also.

I dibs 4 months.

Teh show would make for a good drinking contest, except..
I don't drink
and most people can't drink and puke at the SAME time..it's normally a sequential behavior.

[davidpdx]

93. I'm not a big drinker either

I'll take a soda any day of the week over alcohol. Palin is a scam artist, but she's smart enough to know she can milk all the stupid people who like her in to paying to at least try the service.

[Orsino]

49. Grifters gonna grift. n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

51. Cheaper than a lobotomy,

but I still can't imagine paying for the "privilege" of watching her. That said, it could be useful as aversion therapy.

[JEFF9K]

53. If Sarah Palin charges money for her nuggets of wisdom ...

... she's less likely to spread them around for free. That's a GOOD thing.

[LanternWaste]

56. But can we criticize it without having seen it?

But can we criticize it without having seen it? Or is giggling at her different than giggling at sub-literature?

[steve2470]

57. if she magically morphs into a Ruth Bader Ginsberg clone, I'll retract all my comments lol

Somehow I doubt that's going to happen.

[MisterP]

58. if there's any sex it's exempt from criticism WITHOUT EXCEPTION

[Warren DeMontague]

73. Oh heavens, that sounds terribly unfair.

I hope everyone can cope.

[Warren DeMontague]

72. If the people criticizing 50 shades were giggling, they'd get more traction.

But sour-faced finger-wagging isn't the same thing.

[Harry Monroe]

61. "No need to please the powers that be"

Meaning she can spew any lies and insane psychobabble she wants without being called out on her bullshit.

$9.95/month or $99.95/year. Really? Who is going to pay her that kind of money just so they can listen to this charlatan to validate their already firm held beliefs? People who will pay this grifter that kind of money will only validate that old axiom that "there's a sucker born every minute".

I hope she runs also. Not that this whackadoodle has a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but you can't have too many insane Republicans in the clown car racing towards the finish over that nomination cliff. She will provide much welcome comic relief and endless fodder for late night talk show hosts. She's the gift that keeps on giving and will once again draw unwelcome attention to the right wing nutjob insane Teabilly fringe of the Republican Party.

[uppityperson]

62. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Voice for Peace]

63. should we take up a collection so DU can subscribe?

[Contrary1]

66. Love it. That will be $99.95 less they have to donate to candidates...

and fewer viewers for Fox.

Can't wait to see who the advertisers are,

[calimary]

68. "...share ideas"?????

IDEAS?????

That woman doesn't have Idea One in that empty head of hers. Except the one about getting her mug on TV as much as possible.

I keep thinking about our miss sarah. And I keep coming back to "honey, get it while you can, I suppose. Because your looks aren't gonna last you forever."

[Warren DeMontague]

71. Boozy News Network?

[Elwood P Dowd]

74. Finally, the public will learn the real truth about the world such as.....

Africa is a country not a continent.

The Founding Fathers put In Go We Trust on our money.

Obama is the Anti-Christ.

The Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.

Along with all the previously unknown details about the Ride of Paul Revere.

[napkinz]

75. EMPTY ...

[George II]

76. I hear the Comedy Channel has filed suit for copyright infringement.

[napkinz]

77. hope the ACA covers this ...

[TNNurse]

87. P.T. Barnum

Was right.

These people better not whine about the cost of meaningful things.

[The Wizard]

88. Imagining all the freepers

in their parents basements watching the Palinator with their pants around their ankles.

[MADem]

89. Does she think she is the Oprah of the "series of tubes," perhaps?

Who would be so stupid to pay that kind of money for her dreck?

[lexx21]

90. And coming in 2015....

The box of rocks channel.........

[jmondine]

92. I cannot believe that this isn't the Onion

[Cha]

97. Faux news.. There's RT, fox "news", and now SP

[Scarsdale]

99. Solutions?

Find solutions, then what? The gop will shoot any really GOOD ideas down. I have an idea, let $carah STOP insulting the President, riling up the racists, and shut her moose hole.

[napkinz]

101. :)

[Shoonra]

103. Share ideas?

By all means, share ideas with Sarah Palin .... because she clearly never had any of her own.

Chances that the Republican Party's Special Needs Candidate will have a news organization to supply information to her "new channel"? Zero. Just rumor, gossip, and stories pulled out of her lower torso.
