I'll tamp my excitement level down until I see whether J.C. Watts makes it a darker version of Fox News. Especially since they have Larry Elder as one of their key contributors. He's been a shameless conservative shill for decades. But if they can deliver the news without pontificating or showing obvious policital bias, I'm all in to view it.
I wish this could have happened 10-15 years ago because now people get their news from sources other than broadcast television. Also, they will need a steady stream of advertisers to keep things afloat. Still, I am happy about the progress.
Sounds like a newsy[bet]to me.
Watts and Elder? No obvious political bias? I won't hold my breath.Quote:

But Larry Elder in particular has spent many years telling us that our racial identity should be nothing more than a physical trait. Now all of a sudden he's willing to be attached to a Black news network? Yeah, right. I'm going to tune in just long enough to see my suspicions realized and then I'm going to shun this network like I do Fox, CNN, MSNBC and all the other party institutions.Quote:
