-actually-imho- AFN Radio with both NPR
and Rush & Sean ETC... does a reasonable
job of being fair and balanced.

NPR is not political. Period. Thom Hartmann makes Limbaugh and Hannitoad
look like ranting propagandists; he is balance, not freaking Click and
Clack.

Gee Wow Boy Howdy NPR Dave . . . !

The vast majority rightfully think that
Thom Hartmann is a Progressive* Political
Commentator.

Thom Hartmann is on AFN, not NPR.

I haven't tuned into NPR in going on about ten years.Is Fiona Ritchie
with The Thistle and the Shamrock still on there on Saturday nights?

So what?

You're not happy controlling 95% of the media...it's got to be 100%?

Who controls 95% of what media?

The Left.

That is ludicrous. The mass media is owned by defense contractors
(NBC) and people who made money doing gangster stuff (CBS) and (I don't
know how to classify Disney; a company built entirely on Stepford
children).

Newscorp (slightly to the right of Ayn Rand) brags they control 30% of
the media all by themselves, so that leaves 70% to be split up by Time
Warner (right wing), Viacom (neutral to center right), Disney (creepy
fascist), Comcast (right), General Electric (nuclear behemoth), Cox
(rightish), Citadel (uber right), Clear Channel/Premiere (quite
Right), etc.

The fact you'd even repeat such an obvious untruth is a testament to
your brainwashing.

Doesn't that make you a complete boob?

Of all the media listed above, the only one that penetrates 100% is AM
radio (and then only at night some places). Every town has a
flamethrower of record, some cities have 2 or three. If they all tilt
right how is that fair to people that tilt left?

How about FM radio? That's almost all leftist crap, and there's a lot
more FM stations than AM stations.


We are talking about the information potential voters get prior to an
election. If you turn on a car radio in Texas (or most states) chances
are you are not going to hear anything but right wing propaganda (AM or
FM).

I'm going to overlook the rudeness, because of the company you keep.

I pay to watch TV because I live in the mountains. I can barely afford
it. I have a DSL connection that I will probably drop in a couple months
when my year is up.

No FM to speak of here. KROQ and KPCC. Haven't heard any political
advocacy on either. We have an AM station that is totally right wing.
Same goes for our local cable channel.

This is in spite of this city voting for Obama 53% to 47%. To listen to
the radio you'd think he was Son of Moamar.

And books, libraries, magazines, broadcast TV, cable TV, college, high
school, pamphlets don't count? the ONLY way Americans get information
is through AM radio?

Just how insane are you?

I spent two weeks driving through Texas not to long ago, and there
more certainly are far more liberal stations than conservative.

Are you under the impression that you're anything except rude?

Good, then you won't bother me anymore.

You live in the Greater Los Angeles area, and you have the ****ing
gall to claim there's no left wing media?

LA has no liberal radio stations?

According to you, the only stations your town has is a rock station,
and NPR. Seems like that's all leftie, all the time.
