I'll post about 50 of them here in the next few weeks.
The purpose of these posts is to expose most of the whole lot as a
bunch of pathological liars. Those few who don't lie are reluctant to
publically point fingers at the liars and expose those hosts do. I'm
talking about those who continually commit FCC broadcast law
violations. (Like lying about consumer products for personal profit
and dispensing false medical "information" , thus making people sick
or even die!) These guys (and a few women) are members of a "good-ole
boys talk show host club" who adhere to an unwritten code- to not step
on each others toes. Frankly, those few who don't use their broadcast
pulput to expose the lies of their fellow broadcasters-have no spine
or credibility in my view!

O.K. here we go:
l. "Styrofoam is bio-degradable" (Said by a national talk show host
in "rebuttal" to those who call for a ban on the use of styrofoam
packaging because the stuff ends up along the roadside and in peoples'
yards- mainly because the industry refuses to take meaningful steps to
promote recycling.) The host may have been paid for promoting the use
of styrofoam by lying about its properties.
2. "Dioxin is NOT a health hazzard!" (Yeh, sure! Neither is
breathing asbestos!)
3. In defense of S.U.Vs: "Detroit is now making fuel-efficient
S.U.V.s" (Yeh, sure! )
4. Just after the Rhode Island night club fire that killed all those
people-in reply to a caller: "Sir, that night club HAD MET ALL LOCAL
FIRE SAFETY CODES!"
5. "There is nothing that you or I eat that is on the endangered
species list!" (Yeh, sure- except Cutthroat trout, sturgeon, sockeye
salmon, key deer, oyster mussel and a few hundred others!)
6. "50% of our oil comes from Saudi Arabia." (The correct answer is
17%)
7. "Half the price you pay for a new car from Detroit goes to pay for
the health care plan of auto workers!" (yeh, sure!)
LOTS MORE TO COME. Talk radio is saturated with lies!

Or, he simply may be stupid or just uninformed. I have not seen much
of a
styrofoam lobby out there.
2. "Dioxin is NOT a health hazzard!" (Yeh, sure! Neither is

Stupid. Talk hosts are hired for entertainment value, not knowledge
(witness
Dr. Laura, a physiotherapist).
3. In defense of S.U.Vs: "Detroit is now making fuel-efficient
S.U.V.s" (Yeh, sure! )
They are. There are several hybrid SUVs in pre-production stages.
4. Just after the Rhode Island night club fire that killed all those
people-in reply to a caller: "Sir, that night club HAD MET ALL LOCAL
FIRE SAFETY CODES!"
As to the building, apparently they had. The issue was with the
pyrotecnics
of the band.
5. "There is nothing that you or I eat that is on the endangered
species list!" (Yeh, sure- except Cutthroat trout, sturgeon, sockeye
salmon, key deer, oyster mussel and a few hundred others!)
None of which have I eaten, now or ever. "You and I" could easily mean
that
very few of us dine on sturtgeoun, venison, etc.
6. "50% of our oil comes from Saudi Arabia." (The correct answer is
17%)
Stupidity, not necessarily a lie. Most of the US' oil comes form
domestic
sources, Canada, and Latin America.
7. "Half the price you pay for a new car from Detroit goes to pay for
the health care plan of auto workers!" (yeh, sure!)
Wrong, but not that far off. A huge percentage goes to fund pensions
and
health care for present and past workers.
LOTS MORE TO COME. Talk radio is saturated with lies!
Or, simply, stupid hosts engaged in discussions on subjects they are
not
fully informed on.
You are making too much out of small issues.

Actually, there were fire code violations. The most important of
these
was that the stage walls had been lined with flammable packing foam as
a cheap form of sound insulation. Definitely against fire code;
problem
is, the local fire inspector didn't notice it on the last inspection
he
did there.
To bring this marginally back on topic... Among the many parties
being sued is a radio station which gave away tickets to the show.
(Never underestimate the ability of lawyers to go fishing after the
deepest pockets they can find...)

Actually, my most favorite line from the late President Ronald Reagan
=
"Trees pollute."

I believe it was from James Watt, and it was "Trees cause pollution
too."

Despite your cuteness, in case you haven't read, some independent
interpretations of trends show that Franken is *beating* Limbaugh in
New York and in the Chicago market before AA was pulled by
Multi-Cultural, the audience doubled to a 2.0, which may not be much
compared to WLS but is still better than *either* sports talk station
in town and in the neighborhood of the mid-rank numbers NPR station
WBEZ gets.
It's too early to tell, but Air America may just succeed despite all
of their bumbling.

The only "independent interpretation of trends" that matter are those
that are accepted by ad agencies, especially in the network business.
To my knowledge, there are none, especially ones that break out
hour-by-hour figures.
