From AOL.com
The "RightNetwork" announced its arrival with a limited-preview website, touting a line-up of all-original programming designed to reflect "Pro-America, Pro-Business, Pro-Military sensibilities." And even though the start-up lacks a specified release date and may or may not have a national distributor, it has already generated the kind of controversy that befits any cable news channel.
The commotion was largely kicked up by a widely circulated promotional video starring "Cheers" and "Frasier" alumnus Kelsey Grammer as himself, sounding off on things he thinks are wrong with the world -- a list that covers everything from "big government" to "grape-flavored vodka."
It's certainly not the first public declaration of the beloved actor's political persuasion. In years past he has notably stated his disgust for some of his fellow Hollywood stars' anti-war views, voiced his support for Republican platforms and presidential candidates and played the part of Gen. George S. Patton in "An American Carol," a limited-release satirical film* that reworked the better-known "Christmas Carol" expressly to poke fun at America's modern political left.
RightNetwork's website also contains YouTube trailers for some of the network's flagship new programs, including "Running," a reality show about first-time congressional candidates gearing up to challenge incumbents in the 2010 midterm elections, and "Politics and Poker," which "mixes entertainers, pundits, cards and politics," and features a notable appearance from one Andrew Breitbart, the conservative Internet mogul behind the "Big" series of websites: Big Government, Big Hollywood, etc.
