Sarah Palin has started her own subscription-based online network.

The Sarah Palin Channel, which went live on Sunday, bills itself as a "direct connection" between the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate and her supporters, with "no need to please the powers-that-be," Palin says in a video mission statement on her channel's home page.

"Are you tired of the media filters?" she asks. "Well, I am. I always have been. So we're gonna do something about it."


"We'll talk about the issues that the mainstream media won't talk about,"


Membership is set at $9.95 per month or $99.95 for a year.

Potentially less offensive than the last $9.95/mo you could spend on Palin content:

More subs than the WWE Network!

 

[Aquamarine]

I'm so glad she didn't become our vice president.

 

[HylianTom]

Umm.. no thanks. I would rather watch the Sarah Palin porno video.

*retch*

 

[GraveRobberX]

Is their going to be a dedicated Sarah Palin Gone Wild sub-channel?

 

[Archer]

Umm.. no thanks. I would rather watch the Sarah Palin porno video.

*retch*

I'd watch that video of her and Glen Rice.

Honestly, with the number of 'thoughtful pauses' she uses, I'd watch a "Pastor Gas" revision...

 

[BronsonLee]

It's the Netflix of Palin!

 

[DietRob]

If you have a toilet you too can know what it's like to flush money down the drain.

 

[Extra Sauce]

"Are you tired of the media filters?" she asks. "Well, I am. I always have been."

Sarah Palin was born tired of media filters.

 

[slit]

Anyone who subscribes needs to be seperated from the rest of humanity.

"Are you tired of the media filters?" she asks. "Well, I am. I always have been."

Sarah Palin was born tired of media filters.

Seriously. Media filters? Like...footage of her talking?

 

[richiek]

Didn't SNL have a skit with Tina Fey as Palin pitching her own network?

 

[drspeedy]

"Are you tired of the media filters?" she asks. "Well, I am. I always have been."

Sarah Palin was born tired of media filters.

"Local mom uses this one weird trick to bypass the mainstream media!"

 

[AlexMogil]

It's the Stingy and Battery Show!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I'm so glad she didn't become our vice president.

And how.

Spoiler

Something about the tameness of this statement amongst all the bad things people say about Palin made me smile.

 

[IISANDERII]

Media filters? What's that, like fact checking?

 

[Hari Seldon]

Is this like a cam girl thing? If so then that is not too bad a deal.

 

[ZealousD]

"Local mom uses this one weird trick to bypass the mainstream media!"

"Reporters HATE her!"

"Controversy over new steroid alternative."

Hidden purpose of channel

 

[StudioTan]

So all this time we thought she was saying stupid shit but it was actually the result of filters? I just thought she was dumb.

It's wonderful that she's willing provide this unfiltered access to her thoughts for the low low price of $10 a month. What a generous person.

 

[illmatic22]

More subs than the WWE Network!

Came to post this. Which is a shame.

 

[Ponn]

Clawing and scratching to extend her 15 minutes well past the expiration date.

 

[andycapps]

Is it bad that I have a really morbid curiosity over what the programming will be like? I'm hoping that someone on GAF takes the plunge so we can get some more info.

 

[Gr1mLock]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

THese right wing tea party nut jobs are like the new televangelists. What a bunch of frauds looking for simpletons to rip off.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

How is she going to fill it up with content?

At least porn stars who do this get naked.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Should be great fodder for The Daily Show/Colbert/Last Week Tonight at least.

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

I would pay $9.99/month to not have a Sarah Palin channel.

 

[RevDM]

Thank god, I was looking for ways to be more stupid.

 

[God Dayumm]

does that include taxes?

 

[Camp Lo]

First Paula Deen and now this?

 

[malingenie]

How do you teach a simpleton not to fall for this? I wish we had a cure.

The only reason I care is because this makes people vote dumbly. And thats when we dont get gun control, equal marriage rights and abortionfests.

 

[speculawyer]

Is this a porn channel? That is the only way I can make sense of this.

 

[drspeedy]

But...but... death panels!!

The folks who will watch this will never become more progressive.They were all watching Glenn Beck anyway.

 

[Kano on the Phone]

The only downside is that if you prepay for a full year, you only get around 7 months.

 

[mackattk]

If it works for Rush Limbaugh, don't see why it wouldn't work for her too.

The only downside is that if you prepay for a full year, you only get around 7 months.

Care to elaborate? Are you just meaning that this site won't last longer than 7 months or am I missing something here?

 

[speculawyer]

Ah maybe this is why she is launching it now...Glenn Beck has been very sympathetic to the child migrants crossing our southern border so this may be the time to steal many of his viewers who feel he has gone soft.

 

[speculawyer]

This is very clever and likely to be true.

 

[ivysaur12]

Literally this was an SNL sketch.

 

[ExTrEmEdEaTh]

Probably better than 99% of shows on TV.

 

[Dishwalla]

I'd rather have The Puppy Network, it'd at least have more content than this.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Ah maybe this is why she is launching it now...Glenn Beck has been very sympathetic to the child migrants crossing our southern border so this may be the time to steal many of his viewers who feel he has gone soft.

To be clear Beck wants them sent back. He just wants to take care of them with food, water, and toys instead of shooting them.

 

[Alcoremortis]

Honestly, if she wants a soapbox to tell the world how much an idiot she is without the GOP shutting her up, I'm all for it. No filters works both ways. She might make the super conservatives slightly more super conservative... but the moderates will be getting a dose of unfiltered Palin that they're not prepared for and maybe get a wake-up call to the lunacy they've been supporting.

And the rest of us will hopefully get a good laugh out of it.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Media filter huh?

Fortunately for her there's a large segment of conservatives who can't get their daily allotment of mildly racist propaganda from Fox News alone.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

If it works for Rush Limbaugh, don't see why it wouldn't work for her too.

Rush Limbaugh has a track record of creating content. He has been making 3 hour shows for 25 years, so I wouldn't doubt his ability to actually put something up. He spews bullshit, but its a constant stream of bullshit.

Sarah Palin is known for quick, 3 minute hits, and quitting her job. I mean, there was a reason Fox News cut her, she doesn't have much to say. She isn't quick on her feet, and once she states her main point, she is pretty void of thought.

 

[StudioTan]

Care to elaborate? Are you just meaning that this site won't last longer than 7 months or am I missing something here?

She quit her job as governor of alaska before her term was up. It was probably mainstream media's fault.
