Mainecat Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Trump eyes digital media empire to take on Fox News Source: Axios President Trump has told friends he wants to start a digital media company to clobber Fox News and undermine the conservative-friendly network, sources tell Axios. Here's Trump's plan, according to the source * There's been lots of speculation about Trump starting a cable channel. But getting carried on cable systems would be expensive and time-consuming. * Instead, Trump is considering a digital media channel that would stream online, which would be cheaper and quicker to start. * Trump's digital offering would likely charge a monthly fee to MAGA fans. Many are Fox News viewers, and he'd aim to replace the network — and the $5.99-a-month Fox Nation streaming service, which has an 85% conversation rate from free trials to paid subscribers — as their top destination.

Anler Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I wish libertarians would do this. Start a media outlet that espoused liberty thru attractive and charismatic people to make it sound sexy AF. Because R's and D's are being radicalized thru their media sources and there is no room for rational discourse on those platforms. Sensible people need a source. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 12, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 12, 2020 Add FoxNews, OANN, Breitbart, Newsmax and others and you have a significant portion of the American population. MC....you can laugh all you want but this would be a successful venture. If Trump could combine everyone but FoxNews into one network he would destroy them in a matter of a few years.
