Tossed salads, scrambled eggs, and Dr. Frasier Crane starring as Rupert Murdoch
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/04/19/2010-04-19_fox_too_liberal_for_you_kelsey_grammer_backs_upstart_rightwing_tv_network.html

Actor Kelsey Grammer is one of the names behind The RightNetwork, a new operation that is being targeted at "Americans who are looking for content that reflects and reinforces their perspective and worldview."

The network is expected to launch this summer, according to the company’s website and Facebook page, will be available to on-demand cable offerings, online and on mobile phones.

“There’s wrong, and there’s right, right network, all that’s right with the world,” Grammer says in a videoclip on the network’s website.

Likewise, the network’s promotional materials say it will focus on entertainment with “pro-America,” “pro-business, pro-military sensibilities” that will ultimately invites conversation and “influences the national conversation.”

Word of the network spread over the weekend when the website Crooksandliars.com reported Comcast was behind the effort.

Because the RightNetwork is being pitched as an on-demand offering it means it wouldn’t initially have the same reach - or draw — as traditional cable networks that are on all the time on a cable system. Subscribers would physically have to click through to get the service.

3. Yes, because there's no media network that reflects "Pro-America, Pro-business,
"pro-military sensibilities".

9. I actually liked Gary the Rat
The intro was the best. "Gary the rat... shit," Also, I thought he did a great job as Beast in X-Men, and of course, his work as Silent Bob in The Simpson's is always a treat. Too bad he's a fascist sympathizer.

Not to be confused with Silent Bob, who sold weed in front of the Kwik Stop

7. Fox "News" isn't right wing?
Seems the GOP/Teabagger infighting is spreading.

13. Has Kelsey Grammer EVER appeared as anything other than
a supercilious twit? Either in character or out? Isn't that the perfect synopsis of his entire repertoire?
