RightNetwork's Right 2 Laugh: “for people who…don't want to hear their president called a Nazi”

From media critic Jeff Cohen we get this gem on Huffington Post about the soon to be launched Fox News competitor, RightNetwork:

Get ready for the new entertainment web/TV network called RightNetwork - promoted as having “pro-America, pro-business and pro-military sensibilities.” A centerpiece of the channel is “Right 2 Laugh,” a stand-up comedy series produced and hosted by Evan Sayet. Formerly a Bill Maher writer, Sayet is concerned about comedy being dominated by leftists.

On NPR yesterday, I heard Mr. Sayet say something incredibly funny. He described “Right 2 Laugh” as “a safe haven for people who have values more like the heartland who don't want to hear their president called a Nazi.”

I laughed my ass off at the joke...until I realized he wasn't joking when he said that conservatives “don't want to hear their president called a Nazi.” Listen here.

Cohen goes on to note that Glenn Beck and Fox News -- both highly rated in their own regard -- are repleat with Nazi imagery and references. Cohen even cited this list from Media Matters of the right-wing media's use of Nazi imagery.

Media Matters' Joe Strupp reported on the formation of RightNetwork in April:

Flyers' hockey owner Ed Snider has just picked up another right-winger. This one won't help Philadelphia finally win another Stanley Cup, though.

The sports mogul and long-time backer of conservative causes says he's a major investor in a new cable TV network that may have an even more difficult task than bringing hockey's crown back to Philly, and that is toppling the right-wing ratings champ, the Fox News Channel.

The Snider-funded RightNetwork -- with a looser approach to conservative topics, including a so-called comedy show and a jocular frontman in sit-com star Kelsey Grammer -- is hoping to come to your cable box as early as this summer.

Right 2 Laugh will have to do better than Fox News' 1/2 Hour News Hour, which was canceled shortly after launching.
