Today Joe Strupp and Ben Dimiero at Media Matters observed something I commented upon a short while ago: RightNetwork, the Huffington Post wannabe with Kelsey Grammer as its spokesmodel, is dead in the water, a ghost ship adrift in the soupy mists.
RightNetwork, the conservative media outlet that launched less than a year ago with great fanfare -- and investors that included actor Kelsey Grammer -- appears to have stalled for more than a month.
Rightnetwork.com, which features video and other content has not been updated since late June, and the network's Twitter feed and Facebook pages have been stagnant since May 31.
RightNetwork President Kevin McFeeley claims it is "business as usual," an answer he gave several times when asked specifically about a lack of new programming and web items, as well as about the status of the network's future funding.
But from the looks of the site, launched Sept. 8, 2010, things appear to be at a standstill.
The most recent videos on RightNetwork's website appear to be several Father's Day messages from soldiers posted on June 17.
It was RightNetwork, recall, that thought it was a marv-y idea to give the past-expiration-date novelty act Joe the Plumber his own dumb-ass talk-show.
Not mentioned in the Media Matters piece, not that it?s of any major significance, is that two of RightNetwork?s contributors?Dan Collins and Joy McCann?jumped overboard and, sadder but no wiser, started up their own conservative group blog and news site, The Conservatory, which does update frequently, providing fresh stale content for unchoosy readers.
