Sarah Palin retreats even further into the Right Wing bubble.
 |
| That's right bitchez I got a new video show. |
Fox News contributor and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be launching her own digital video channel, tentatively called “Rogue TV,” a source familiar with the project told Capital.
The channel will be available through Tapp, the digital video service founded by former CNN chief Jon Klein and former NBC Universal entertainment executive Jeff Gaspin. Subscriptions will cost $10 per month.
Rogue is expected to launch in April or May, and it would be one of the first of the digital channels offered by Tapp.
Palin’s channel will feature video commentaries from the former Republican vice-presidential candidate, discussing current events and political issues.
“Think of it as a video version of her Facebook page,” the source said.
That said, Rogue is also expected to feature footage of Palin and her family in Alaska, much as the 2010 TLC reality series, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” did. (TLC’s parent company, Discovery Communications, is an investor in Tapp.)
It will also have advice and guidance from Palin, such as tips for parents and recipes. There are also tentative plans to have subscribers engage in regular video chats with Palin.
Representatives for Tapp did not respond to a request for comment on the plans.
Can you believe she is calling it "Rogue TV?"
Well of course you can, what else would she call it, "Hockey Mom radio?"
You know this might finally be the perfect venue for Palin. A radio show that asks very little from her but to post the same content that she currently pays ghostwriters to write on her behalf for Facebook.
It's like scratching your ass like you do everyday, only this time somebody is paying to watch you do it.
Well at least this answers the age old question where do Fox News contributors go to die??
It is the same place that Glenn Beck went after HE was drummed off of the air at Fox.
And hey he is not doing too badly over at Blaze. I mean he's a whole lot crazier, but apparently there's a market for crazy.
So who knows, Palin might do very well in this arena. After all she is at LEAST as crazy as Glenn Beck. Probably crazier!
The only question is how long can the woman whose picture now sits next to the word "quitter" in the dictionary be willing to stick this out? And how long will her rapidly disappearing fan base be willing to pay $10 a month to listen to her babble like a schizophrenic who missed their last dose of Thorazine?
Only time will tell.
What is interesting is how isolated this radical group of Right Wingers, like Palin, Glenn Beck, and Herman Cain. have become. They are no longer considered reasonable enough to have an easily accessible platform and are instead now forced to find little media pockets where those of a like mind can seek them out and listen to their insanity for a fee.
If only Charles Manson had possessed the foresight to wait a couple of decades, instead of rotting in jail like he is today, he could have had his own show (Helter Skelter?) right alongside Sarah Palin and the other not ready for prime time lunatics.
