Drudge has posted a link to an article announcing the creation of another cable news network called the One America News Network. The network is supposed to be a joint venture between the Washington Times and Herring Broadcasting. I have to say that the entire announcement sounds fishy to me.
The network is supposed to have a conservative slant. Herring is also launching a left leaning network called Red Herring Network.
If they had called it the One News America Network I really would have been sure that this is a joke. Still, having a tv news network with the call letters ONAN would be more descriptive of much of what passes for news these days.
If the new network is successful, I can only assume that the One America Financial Network will follow close behind. The financial markets need news from the OAF Network.
One thing that I understand from the announcement is that the network is hiring Keith Olbermann for one of its new shows. Olbermann will sit in a dunk tank and will fall into the water each time someone on the network uses the word "outrageous" or "expert". I am glad to see that Keith is finally getting to work somewhere again, particularly since it will make such good use of his talents.
