That never took off. Glenn Beck tried it and has lost the emphasis his opinion once held.

Ailes karma is coming back to haunt him...It's doubtful the end of that road leaves him much better off image wise, than say, Cosby.

Hannity would never put up any of his own money or take a big risk, a la Beck. He's got a real cush gig. He knows that.

Unless there's really significant money backing this venture I don't see how it gets big. If it's Russian money, we'll shout it to the roof tops. What base of his let's Russian money tell them what to think? I just don't see it.

His brand is shot in all but an uneducated white male slice of this country. And Fox already has most of them as viewers.

It'sa bright and shiny concept right now but I don't see the nuts and bolts of it working out.
