Comcast Not Involved with Right Network
Over the weekend there were some stories on a number of blogs about a new network called Right Network, and some of these rumored that Comcast might be involved as an investor, partner or distributor. Here is a statement from Comcast to clear up any confusion:
“The blog reports that Comcast is an investor in, or partner of the Right Network are inaccurate. We have no partnership with this venture and have no plans to launch or distribute the network. As we have done with hundreds of other content providers, we have met with the network’s representatives. We do carry a number of independent networks on Comcast representing a wide variety of interests and diverse viewpoints.”

I hope Comcast will decide to carry the Right Network as part of its lineup. It is important to list to conservatives, not just the loudmouth left wing of our country.
I do hope that Comcast does decide to carry the Right Network in it's lineup. Surely there is space somewhere among the 900+ channels to give us conservatives some more entertainment. Since your primary function should be to give your customers what they want (you remember? customer service?) at a profit, of course, I would assume you would look at this venture purely from an economic standpoint, rather than succumbing to the shrill hysteria of those afraid of an opposing point of view.
I hope this is just an attempt to appease your liberal viewers. With every network and cable news channel being biased to the left, not carrying this network, especially in the currently super-charged political climate is a beyond poor call. With the hype about this network coming out you will, assuredly, be the target of massive criticism and lose a good amount of subscribers. I hope it's a short wait for you to come to your senses. I'm looking into my alternative services now and will be a part of the online criticism storm, about to begin. If I were a higher-up at Comcast, I would be looking at those, who made this decision, to see if their business sense overrides their political bias. I'm assuming you are a business, first and foremost. Disappointing.
Thank you for not accepting The Right Network. My sister was the receptionist for the chairman so I know she is happy that you will not be involved with this loons.
You have just made a huge mistake! The Marx-stream Media and Hollywood are left but America is right. Fox is the only halfway conservative outlet and my TV stays on Fox only. I am not alone. There are many millions just like me! You can join the wave or be lost in the storm. We are America and we will prevail with or without you !!! You should reconsider fast !!!
