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.

Watts and Elder? No obvious political bias? I won't hold my breath.

Larry Elder is a huge President Pus*y Grabber supporter and defend everything he says and does. Elder also trashed President Obama for 8 years. This doesnt sound like a fair network more like another faux news trump network.

Yep. One was the Republican party's Obama and the other makes Diamond & Silk look like Angela Davis. They also have some former Faux News contributors. We'll see early on whether it's just Blox News, which I suspect it will be.

Which is sad because this is a network we've needed for a long time. If it could become a trusted news source [[a rarity today, particularly on television), it would be a good way for many folks in the community to get news they may not otherwise receive. 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.
