We Need A Populist News Channel

Comment: A paleo news channel probably wouldn’t work (too intellectual and probably a bit too reactionary on economic and social issues for majority tastes) but a populist news channel probably would.

I’m sure there are plenty of working and lower middle class people in the Anglosphere are keen to watch a channel questioning immigration, attacking banks and financiers, questioning neocon foreign policy, slack law and order (the proles are big on law and order) and pointing out blatant examples of media bias and political correctness. Such a channel would also be very useful for educating non-Americans about what actually goes in the US in regard to issues such as immigration and law and order.

The problem wouldn’t be getting viewers, but making sure it wasn’t blocked by its opponents.

* A casual perusal of FOX’s ads indicate who their viewership is: pharmaceuticals, life-alert systems, hurricanes, diabetes supplies, reverse mortgages. As Richard Spencer at Radix has pointed out: the median age of Bill O’Reilly’s audience is north of 70 – the FOX News demographic is dying out.
