Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes definitely. Especially when Trump gets locked in. Do you want to buy him out? No thanks!

Interesting on the Trump TV thing too, I wait to be educated as I have not a clue on these things.

Some thoughts however. Setting up a TV channel for a man of his means would be relatively easy and not that expensive. Surely the most difficult thing comes in having a platform in which to show it. With the two normal models being subscription (he has a lot of followers but how many would really want to pay for it) or advertising (I can’t really see McDonalds or Nike wanting to join in) and I don’t see either working. On top of that where would he actually get a platform to show such a channel? Infowars can’t even get on YouTube anymore and I would expect it to be extreme enough to be appealing to the QAnon mentalists.

I’m guessing I’m missing something very straight forward, feel free to enlighten me.

Just stream it on your own website, Joopsy. It'd be very cheap to manage the standard of "journalism" his version of reality would require. You could do it all with a couple of interns and a Twitter account.

But that’s part of my point Nellers, I just don’t think it would get the views he’d require for his massive ego.

But it might play into his “the establishment are trying to stop me but you can’t stop the signal!” Narrative that he spins.
