Frasier and Ed Snider team up because Fox News is too liberal

Dr. Frasier Crane/Grammer	Grammer's BFF = Snider

The New York Daily News is finalizing reports of a kind that we only dared to fear: Actor Kelsey Grammer and Comcast-Spectacor Charmain Ed Snider are but two of the names behind The RightNetwork, a new Republican friendly on-demand cable operation that, as Grammer says, is "targeted at Americans who are looking for content that reflects and reinforces their perspective and world-view." Worse than FOX? Worse than Fox.

So says Snider to the DN:

"We're creating a welcome place for millions and millions of Americans who've been looking for an entertainment network and media channel that reflects their point-of-view," Ed Snider, chairman of Comcast-Spectacor, said in a statement on the site. "RightNetwork will be the perfect platform to entertain, inform and Connect with the American majority about what's right in the world."

Don't get your panties in a twist boy and girls. Snider, who owns the soon-to-blow Wachovia Spectrum and the replacement entertainment complex extravaganza Philly Live, is making a personal investment. So don't get excited that Kabletown ... I mean Xfinity ... I mean the Comcast network is involved. (Comcast swiftly released a statement denying their involvement.)

On tap? A reality show called Running, featuring six political newbies throwing their hate into their local races and Evan Sayet's Right 2 Laugh, a comedy show that, as Grammer says, "proves funny people and funny things come from both sides of the aisle."

Shudder.
