They want to lose the FOX branding so badly.

3. They should become the RWRLAMMC.
Right Wing Republican Liars and Media Misinformation Channel.

At least it would be honest.

17. But unlike Headline News/HLN, there won't be a noticeable decrease in quality....
...namely because unlike Headline News, Fox News sucked from the beginning.

Headline News, when it was Headline News and a Turner venture, was actually a decent service. Headlines on the half hour every half hour, plus short segments for business, sports, and entertainment/human interest. Then it all got screwed up, and what we were left with useless celebrity gossip and Nancy Grace ranting about the most recent missing white girl.

22. I'd be happy with a disclaimer
At the bottom of the screen they should be required to display "This channel is a paid advertisement for the Republican party".
