Liberal talk radio still alive and well!

[sealybobo]

Yes. They would have considered Andrew as being the RABBLE.

Depends where Andrew is in the social pecking order, I'd say.

I'm partially kidding. Andrew probably owns a home and that would probably be all it took back then to be able to vote.

Unless he's black that is. Or a woman.

 

[KittenKoder]

Republicans like to play it both ways. Remember Clinton? They said he was "the most" liberal. Turned out he was a centrist.

Then they said Kerry was the most liberal.

Then Obama was the most liberal.

Republicans either don't know what they are talking about or they are are liars. I tend to think they are liars.

And Liberal is a good word, so I hope they are all liberals.

LOL ... Obama is anything but liberal. He's barely even a Dem.

Then what were the Republicans saying when they said Obama was "the most liberal senator" or "had the most liberal voting record".

I knew they were lying, but I'm glad to hear someone else admit it.

But Obama is a liberal and a democrat. He's just not a flaming one.

Just keep watching ... he keeps showing his true colors more with each action.
The reason I say Kerry isn't a liberal is he had a few hang ups on religion that made him more conservative than most liberals. Obama has more of them.

 

[auditor0007]

wonder where they found the airwaves??? I thought the conservatives monopolized them all.. oh well

Obama's FCC didn't cock block them like the Bush government did.

And you should wonder why they didn't do this when Bush was in office, seeing as how Rush's ratings were the best back when Clinton was in office. With all the crimes the Bush team committed, progressive radio would have been very popular the last 8 years.

And I too wonder what airwaves they are going to get. I hope it is good.

PS. Nancy Skinner SUCKS! She was filling in for Randi Rhodes last week and she made sooooo many mistakes. And she just isn't that good. But I'd listen to her before Hannity, Rush or O'Reilly.

Did you ever hear of Air America?????? As I recall, they began airing during the Bush years, and died during the Bush years due to lack of listeners. So no, progressive radio was not popular over the last eight years. Nice try.

"The Fairness Doctrine"

The government forcing free enterprise out of business!

Communism.

Obama is going to ruin this nation. He will piss on every grave of any man or woman who served to protect the freedoms of the USA.

I take offense to that. And so when I outlive you, I will seek out your grave and piss on it.

Just like communism, Capitalism has gotten out of control. Did you think Capitalism was pure or divine in some way?

Our founding fathers warned us of corporations getting too powerful. And that my friend, is what is ruining this nation.

Where have you been the last 8 years?

PS. Stop with the "free enterprise" bullshit. They are the public's airwaves, just like the roads. This isn't a free market thing here bucko.

The right has purchased too many licences. It is time to break up the monopoly.

They are hording all the good radio stations in order to brainwash us with NOTHING BUT RIGHT WING talk.

So I know you want them to be able to do that. That's why you guys keep screaming FREE MARKETS!!!

Well just like Bush's FCC ran Howard Stern off the air, we are going to take ONE station away from you guys and give it to the left.

DEAL WITH IT YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!

So, as they tried with Air America, you want certain stations to be forced into airing progressive talk shows. Tell us what happens when those stations then go bankrupt because nobody is listening to their progressive format? Will the government step in to compensate them for their losses? Who will pay for this? The taxpayers?

You act like the right wingers bought these stations for the sole purpose of flooding the airwaves with conservative talk. What an absolute idiot you are. The reason people and companies own radio stations is to make money dumbass. If liberal talk paid the bills and conservative talk didn't, the airwaves would be flooded with progressive talk.

Air America failed moron. Get a clue. If there are stations that want to try again, so be it. But forcing stations to air programming that will lose them money, that sounds like something the Chinese do or any other authoritarian governments. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in state controlled radio.

Hey fat head. Do you listen to Air America? I live in Metro Detroit. Air America does not have a good channel/signal. It breaks up half way into work in Ann Arbor.

And in Ann Arbor, we have Nova M Radio. Same thing, except Randi Rhodes doesn't work for Air America but she does, or at least she did work for Nova M.

Anyways, both channels are great, if you are in Dearborn or Ann Arbor. But don't drive around too far, because you'll lose reception.

But Rush has a great station. You can hear his show all over the state.

The right wingers bought up all the good stations. This does not serve in the publics interest. Time for the FCC to take away one of their licences.

Trust me, Rush can continue to lie and you can continue to be lied to. But there will be an alternative in case you ever want to hear the truth.

You afraid of the truth?

And what you are telling me is that the media isn't liberal. If it were, no one would listen. Right?

 

[auditor0007]

Ha Ha! Look at the email I just got from Conservativeactionalertsupdates.com

As you know, we've just elected the first true SOCIALIST as President of the United States. That doesn't mean we should run and hide - in fact, it means that we should FIGHT EVEN HARDER against the far left!

But you can be sure of one thing: The radical liberals will do everything in their power to SHUT US DOWN, along with every other conservative voice in America. And they're already telling the world exactly how they're going to do it:

When this rule was dropped in 1987 under Ronald Reagan, it led directly to the rise of conservative talk radio that enabled average citizens to have their voices heard across America. If it weren't for the Reagan administration dropping the "Fairness Doctrine," we would never have heard of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Michael Savage, Michael Reagan, Martha Zoller, Neal Boortz, Janet Folger, or the hundreds of other conservative talk radio hosts that dot the land and expose the lies and misdeeds of the Left.

What a bunch of bullshit! This issue is important. This is how Bush lied us into Iraq. Which of these radio hosts called BS on Bush's wmd lie? None of them? That's why we need the Fairness Doctrine back. Not the old Fairness Doctrine, but something to even the playing field.

The way it is now, does not serve the publics interest. PERIOD!

My God.... it's just incredible.... "Bush lied"....

The WHOLE WORLD knows THAT'S WHAT THE INTELLIGENCE said. NOT BUSH, the INTELLIGENCE. Bush only repeated what the intelligence community had told him, and so did multitudes of LIBERALS, like kerry, and clinton. Even though I don't think we should have invaded Iraq, and I think we should get the hell otta there, I will NOT be part of the moronic donkey shit tale that "Bush lied." That's just one of the most asinine things I've ever heard a liberal say. But you only hear it from uneducated liberals that are puking up the same old, debunked, partisan hack crap from yesteryear.

We all know that Bush threw out any and all evidence that showed Saddam was not connected to AlQueda and accepted evidence that was shady.

WE KNOW he told the "intelligence" community to go out and find a connection. And anyone who told him there was no connection was dismissed.

PS. All we need to remember is that Chaney tried to lie and say Saddam sent the Anthrax. What evidence did he use? Can we see that evidence?

This is why I believe it was Chaney himself that sent the anthrax. Who got mailed Anthrax? Dashel & Leahy? The two guys stopping the Patriot Act.

A lot of Americans are really really stupid. You being one of them.

Yep, Chaney sent the Anthrax. And Bush had the WTC blown up; it really wasn't the airplanes. And the Pentagon, that wasn't a plane either. We all know it was a missile that destroyed the Pentagon. Yep, we know where you belong, the looney bin with the rest of the conspiracy theorists.

 

[sealybobo]

I love reading the idiotic comments nmade by KittenFarter. A minimum wage hamburg flipper who actually thinks her opinions matter. How sad.

Why does your opinion matter? What do you do? Who are you?

But I'm glad you are honest.

See everyone? These people don't think poor people's opinions matter.

Just like the rich don't care what the middle class thinks.

PS. You have a couple of GOP defenders on this site that are broke asses too. One is a truck driver. I had a riot talking to him about Bush wanting to let Mexican truckers into the USA to deliver their goods. Totally cut out the American truckers.

So another industry down the drain, just like the media. It used to be an industry that employeed hundreds of thousands of people when thousands of people owned radio stations. Today, 10 companies own all the stations. So they want to kill trucking, manufacturing, media industry, banking.

Is there an industry you don't want to kill?

Hey Dumbass; Rush is on the most powerful stations because he has the most listeners and those stations want him on their station because he makes them money. And you consider yourself intelligent? You don't understand the most basic business concepts, do you? I don't even like Rush all that much. I rarely listen to him, but the facts are the facts are the facts. And the fact here is that you are a complete moron.

Well, I think the truth lies somewhere in between what you think and what I think.

No, Bush didn't interview the hijackers, but are you aware of the Bush/Bin Ladin family ties?

Are you familiar with PNAC and what has been said in PNAC?

And isn't it odd Chaney had control of NORAD on 9-11? That's never happened before.

And why did Condy lie about "never imagining planes would be used as weapons.

There are a lot of inconsistencies with the Bush teams story.

If I'm a conspiracy theorist, you are a god damn fool. The Republicans could put anything past your dumb ass.

No oil?
China?
They wanted to attack Iran too
We have plans to take over the middle east, much like we tried to take over Venesuela.

It's a new world order. We want the middle east to fall into our new world order. World banks. I understand it is against muslim's religion to charge interest on a loan. We can't have that. LOL.

Let's put it this way; you fall right in with the crowd that warned us that Bush was involved in 9/11 and that before his term was over, he would declare martial law so he could remain as Prez. You people are hilarious. Bush and Chaney are gone fishing now. Nope, they didn't declare martial law and try to take over. But you keep believing your silly shit. I'll stick with the intelligent people who can at least make a decent argument for their cause.

I don't really care if you are liberal or conservative; just make a decent argument for your case. Your arguments are nothing short of pathetic.

Bush would have tried to do that if he thought he could get away with it.

Just like he and Chaney were trying soooo hard to start a war with IRaq. Again, read PNAC, or STFU.

And Bush used the war to push his radical economic agenda.

OMG, it's too much to explain if you are this clueless. Never mind. You lost, good bye.

Funny how the Bush family assets in ww2 were frozen for doing business with the nazi's.

Maybe in 60 years you'll learn the truth.

When I think of Americans like you, I think of George Carlin's bit on politicians:

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'"

I don't want the Demcoratic news. I don't want the Republican news.

I just want the news, straight up and spin-free.

problem is, in our society someone (almost) always owns the media outlet. Hard to get away from someone who has a separate agenda (be profitable to stay in business) from deliver the truth, which can be at odds with... shall we say 'financial pressures' received from the source of money (advertisers).

I suppose community supported radio has an advantage there, but they end up being fairly poor and lack the exposure of their bigger, beholden cousins.


Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media by Michael Parenti is a good reference when learning about how media 'spins' and why/how.

That is an interesting concept, but it's never existed. The closest we've come is where the media deceitfully pretends to be unbiased and sometimes we buy it. I'm not sure that's a better system.
