First proove to us that you are an expert at analizing chemical data.
Wrong. It's YOU making assertions that someone is lying. It's up to YOU to prove it. It's not up to me to prove anything. Second- you appear to be disputing the FACT that styrofoam is not bio-degradeable. This leads me to believe that you are unqualified to accept chemical facts when they stare you in the face. Wrong again. Show me where I disputed your so-called "fact" (which you have yet to prove). You also appear to be disputing the FACT that many dioxins are poisonous. Yet another assertion without proof. If you want the facts- it appears to me that the first order of business would be for you to hear the TAPES which document the lies. Wrong yet again. Tapes, by themselves, document only what someone said. They don't document lies OR facts. YOU say they're lies...so YOU have to prove it. Get a group together of 100 or more people-(hopefully a few with chemical and toxicological expertise)- interested in hearing the tapes and it will be worth my time toplay them for you- free of charge. Gee, that's a nice little evasion you've got going there. You'll only play the tapes for 100 people. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! Sorry, but thanks for playing. Trolls are ineligible to win, but tell him about his consolation prizes, Don Pardo... |

A person who comments on the news (wether a lawyer, garbage collector or talk
show host) is not being an ENTERTAINER- he is being- guess what? RIGHT! A NEWS COMMENTATOR ! You can keep saying that until you're blue in the face, but that doesn't make you correct...and it only shows your lack of understanding of the broadcast business. |

RIGHT! A NEWS COMMENTATOR ! Sorry, but there you're wrong (as the FCC has defined it, anyway.) Limbaugh et.al. are entertainers, as the programming they provide is entertainment programming which is not subject to the more demanding tests of a newscast. Further, even though they comment on current affairs (another facet of journalism) as entertainers they are still not held accountable for facts, differing opinions or, for that matter, pretty much anything else. A song and dance man performing on stage or on the radio is called an -guess what! RIGHT ! AN ENTERTAINER ! Right.....so now you can understand that your crusade is without merit. The FCC has bigger fish to fry. Try getting this kind of programming re-classified, and restore the Fairness Doctrine to its previous role in providing a broad sampling of opinion on the broadcast media. Then you might have a case. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There must always be the appearance of lawfulness....especially when the law's being broken. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For direct replies, take out the contents between the hyphens. -Really!- |

Okay, okay, so "fitness" relates to a number of qualities. I get you there. What I was differentiating, though, was how a licensee could be "unfit" simply by airing content not considered conventional or even valid....the other misfeasances, criminal and otherwise, can certainly make a licensee unfit, but there are bigger issues with those failures than simply giving a soapbox for goofs. Long ago (late 60s? Certainly early 70s) the FCC made it abundantly clear (in the course of a station sale and license transfer) that they would have no opinion on an expected format change with the news owners (I think the station was classical, and its loss was considered by its audience to be unacceptable). That was WEFM in Chicago, generally considered the world's first commercial FM station and a longtime home for classical music. Zenith Radio decided that they didn't need to run the station as a loss leader to promote sales of FM radios and sold it to General Cinema, who then announced that they were going to flip it to Top 40. Even though there were two other FM signals programming full-time classical music in Chicago at the time, because a "Citizen's Committee to Save WFMT" had forced the Tribune Co. to sell that classical station to WTTW, the public TV station in town, after 'FMT's founder had sold it to the Tribune, the same people decided to fight WEFM's format switch with a "Citizen's Committee to Save WEFM." They got a court injunction in spring 1972 that stopped the format change the night before it was going to happen--with an air staff hired, billboards out on the street, ads in the weekend papers and the record library all packed to be shipped to WNIB, the *other* classical music station in town. Soon afterwards, the FCC then washed its hands of judgments on radio format changes. It still took General Cinema five years to flip the station, after making agreements to donate programming and materials to both WNIB and NPR station WBEZ. The flip to Top 40 finally occurred in early 1978. Like WDHF/WMET a few years earlier, the station got some teen audiences, but they were unable to take the mass audience away from WLS and the station flipped to the Schulke II MOR format at the end of 1980. In 1982, General Cinema sold WEFM to Greater Media, who flipped the format to country and the call letters to WUSN-"US99." It's still country and still US99 today, although Infinity has owned the station for the last decade. WBEZ dropped its few hours of classical music programming after the death in the early 80s of Dick Noble, the former WEFM morning drive man who switched to 'BEZ as part of the format change agreement (and was moved out of morning drive to 9 a.m.-to-noon when NPR's "Morning Edition" premiered in 1979). Noble's show was the main classical programming on the station, which was (and is) primarily talk and jazz. WNIB, the last ma-and-pa FM in Chicago, was sold to Bonneville in 2001 for a lot of money and is now the successful classic hits WDRV--"The Drive." WFMT, still owned by WTTW, is now Chicago's only commercial classical music station. |

RIGHT! A NEWS COMMENTATOR ! But a person who chats about social and political issues is chatting... a form of entertainment. How about a talk show host who reads a news story from a news service posting and inserts his own LIES in the story- and passes it off as having been read verbatum? HuM? A song and dance man performing on stage or on the radio is called an -guess what! RIGHT ! AN ENTERTAINER ! Rush Limbaugh, in the 1988 R&R Talk Radio Seminar in Washington, stated he was first and foremost an entertainer. Talk shows are listened to for their entertainment value. News shows are listened to for their informational value. Paraphrasing a Spanish saying, "you can't get pears from an elm tree." Who ever brought up the name "Limbaugh" in all this? Why would you immediately mention Rush Limbaugh regarding this topic of falsifying the news? Limbaugh is hardly an expert at labeling himself. Sorry- when ANYONE professes to be reading facts (wether from a news service or from a medical journal)- and inserts his own LIES and then tells us "I'm reading this verbatum"- YOU may label that "entertainment" but I think most of us label it something else. p.s. Are you Rush Limbaugh posing as David Eduardo? |
