The Right Network?

Clearly Fox News is not be enough for the growing Tea Party movement and resurgent Republicans.  As a result, the Right Network is here to add a little more content.  And what does this new network hope to accomplish?  In its own words, we are told:

We seek to present the values and beliefs that America was built upon. We aim to be straight shooters and will always come to the party with a potent point-of-view. But we will not dominate the conversation… we'll stimulate it. And we will listen happily as the many voices of the Right combine. We'll always encourage debate and we will not shrink from the fight, if it's a fight worth having. 

So far the programming is thin, with programs such as short cartoon called "Flatbed & Ned" and "Soapbox Guy."  I enjoyed the first part of a documentary program "Do As I Say," where the narrator does a pretty good version of Michael Moore from the Right.  I am all for duking it out with solid research and a bit of humor.  I just hope there is room for moderate voices from the Right rather than the loony-right, which is where I would put flaky Michele Bachmann who wrote a piece on 9/11 posted to the network site.  If you look at the comments to her piece the individuals are not really all that stimulating in their viewpoints.  Time will tell.
