“Wreck Fox” and start a MAGA channel?

Wouldn’t be shocking.

He talked about his own stuff back in 2015, IIRC.

The opportunity is there. The "Fuck FOX" movement has been quite strong on the Right. I mentioned the other day, Newsmax's ap had vaulted into the Top Ten on Apple.

There's a good bit of talent running around, that could be roped in, for the right amount of money. Shapiro, O'Reilly, Rubin, Kelley, etc.

Another leftwing rag claims Trump is plotting a military coup. Another one says Federal Marshall are planning to physically remove him from the White House. You democrat Socialists just get crazier by the mi ute.

What does Parler say about this?

[jon-nyc]

Someone called Parler “MeinSpace” the other day.

As much as I roll my eyes at the reductio ad Hitlerum I couldn’t help but laugh.

[Klaus]

In what sense is that a Hitler reference, apart from "Mein" being German?

Only to Americans that don’t know German besides a handful of words and phrases, one of them being “Mein Kampf”

[Klaus]

Interesting. We have a couple of words that have some kind of Nazi vibe associated to it, but "Mein" is not among them.

[jon-nyc]

Of course not.

@Klaus , just out of curious, from a German perspective, how would you improve on “MeinSpace” to make it more Hitlery?

So when you hear ciao mein what do you think of?

[Doctor Phibes]

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Nein.

[Axtremus]

Well, a few of our TNCR regulars do seem to relish this theater fight.

[jon-nyc]

Which would be fine but for the long-term damage to the institution itself.

Replace "Space" by "Lebensraum" and you have a first-class Hitler reference. It would loose its similarity to MySpace, of course.

If you were a journalist, would you want to work for a Trump channel? Does anyone honestly think he could keep his hands out of the content?

What makes you think Trump wants to hire journalists? He'd hire anyone who is willing to write what he wants and give them the "journalist" titles.

I think you need an insert here for the name. Like Zucker, Baquet.

Furthermore #cancelculture should be Time Magazine’s Person Of The Year.
