I've been too busy with the Hillary book to blog, but I've been really wanting to agree with Radio Equalizer and others that the Center for American Progress/Free Press talk-radio study has huge holes in it. The biggest one is excluding public radio talk shows. It’s simply inaccurate to argue there’s little or no progressive talk in major markets with NPR affiliates broadcasting the Diane Rehm show, or Fresh Air with Terry Gross, or the new Michel Martin vehicle Tell Me More, or the Tavis Smiley radio show, or the other national and local left-leaning talk programs. A right-winger could even count Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion sometimes!
For CAP and Free Press to argue that commercial broadcasters should pay fees to public broadcasting for a lack of balance – and then raising no question whatsoever about the tilt or the need for balance within public broadcasting -- shows amazing liberal hypocrisy. In fact, Free Press has vociferously opposed any congressional attempt to question the balance of public broadcasting as ‘partisan meddling.’ So what do they call their lobbying?
Hillary Clinton has long believed that what he call the liberal media is no match for Limbaugh and Hannity and Ingraham and Levin and Hugh Hewitt and so on. She would love a bill just like the one that's being pushed for here, which would meddle with all the government-ownership rules to try and cobble together a more "diverse" radio system -- regardless of profitability.

For those that do not know this has been banned by PBS, even though it was paid for and wanted at the time by PBS..it is called Muslims Against Jihad...
This is not the actual documentary itself, I heard Mr Gaffney say this yesterday, it is an hour special about it...
In other words they are going over PBS's head if you ask me and getting the gist of the story out, meanwhile making the leftist fools out of PBS that they are as a whole...that we all STILL pay for through our tax dollars.
PBS does not want the truth to get out...not looking good for their agenda....nothing new here.

June 23, 2007 - 17:01 ET by TexasOptimistThis biased site whines continually.
Criticism and whining are two separate things, buddy. And this site is biased? OF COURSE IT IS. If you have a problem with THAT, then YOU have some SERIOUS issues.
And as for private control of the media, that is irrelevant to most of us. I detest government control in media (PBS, NPR, just to name two examples) MUCH more than I fear private-sector control in media. Thankfully, the media is more diversified than ever, thanks to the technological revolution. People have more options than ever as to where they become informed about what is going on throughout the world. Absolutely nobody is forced to sit and listen to Rush Limbaugh all day. Leftists such as you have plenty of leftist media outlets online. Do I enjoy their content? No. So what? We conservatives have media outlets as well.
What IS important to us here on Newsbusters is that the conservative message not be skewered by the "objective" news media. All we ask for is that the journalists that claim to be objective follow through on that claim. We criticize liberal COMMENTATORS such as Olbermann, Air America, etc., sure. But do we call for them to be banned? Not at all.

June 23, 2007 - 18:50 ET by Del Dolemonte..."since the late 1980s there has only been right wing whining on am radio..."
LOL! Can I have some of what you've been smoking?
In 1985, there were already 200 talk radio stations. And left-wingers had been talking on those stations for decades. Ever hear of Alan Berg and Alex Bennett? Or Michael Jackson (the talk show host)?
The success of right wing talk radio since 1988 was due to several factors, mainly the Limbaugh syndication arrangement that was adopted. The syndication arrangement, known as barter, provides the show for free to stations in return for the station carrying a number of included advertising spots during the show. Limbaugh was an early adopter of this system, which is now commonly used.
And despite your silly claim, left wingers WERE "allowed", as you so quaintly put it, to sell their wares as it were on AM radio after 1988. Jim Hightower and Mario Cuomo tried it, but their efforts were short-lived. And there were also a lot of other ones, such as Bernie Ward in San Francisco and Mike Malloy in Atlanta.
Face it, for syndicated talk to succeed on AM radio, it has to be a product the consumers will want to listen to. That applies to all political viewpoints. And time and again, it's been proven that liberal talk radio simply does not attract a lot of listeners. I once tried to listen to Air America, and could only stomach about a half an hour of it.
Simply going on the air and saying "Bush sucks" for three hours straight might make you BDS Kool-Ade drinkers feel good about yourselves briefly, but it doesn't sell advertising. Air America found that out.
By the way, I followed your link to the "Old America Project". Best political satire website I've seen since Democratic Underground. Tell us again how the 2000 election was "rigged", as they so quaintly claim...

It is the resultant liberal bias that is presented to the viewer and the reader, by the conbination of liberal and progressively liberal editors, producers, journalists, and writers that tell the tell. Chances are, most of them come from "Liberal Arts Schools."

I hate to burst your bubble, but people have also worshipped football in the most liberal state in the Union, Massachusetts, for many years. That state boasts the New England Patriots, who have won something like 3 out of the last 5 or 6 Super Bowls, as well as the nationally-ranked Boston College Eagles.
The blue states of New York and New Jersey share 3 NFL teams between them, and the blue city of Chicago sent Da Bearz to the Super Bowl this past season. The blue state of California also has 3 NFL teams and has fielded the National College champion team in recent years (USC). Are those people all "uneducated rednecks" too?
And in one of the bluest liberal states of all, Hawaii, football is a religion. The University of Hawaii Rainbows, coached by former NFL coaches June Jones and Jerry Glanville, made the Top 25 last season. And the Friday-night high school games in Hawaii are just as popular as the ones in "redneck" Texas.
By the way, I have lived in all of the blue states I mentioned except for California, so I've witnessed these examples of football worship by "rednecks" first hand.

Tell us what or who you define as a "redneck". While you're at it, tell us about all of those Democrats like Al Gore Senior who refused to vote for the Civil Rights Act.
By the way, Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" was a domestic social program, not the Vietnam War. Pay attention.
Oh, and I forgot a few more examples of "redneck" football worshippers. Prime example number one is last year's Cinderella story, where an NFL team from the definitely blue city of New Orleans called the New Orleans Saints made it to the NFC Championship Game.
The Saints have always had a large and loyal following across all racial and political demographic groups in New Orleans since they joined the NFL in 1967. Are all of those people in Lousiana "rednecks" as well?
The blue city of Philadelphia has also given us the Eagles. They've been an elite NFL team for the past decade.

And I'm speaking as a longtime Marty-watcher from way back...take a look at those playoff games he managed to lose for the Brownies, and you'll understand. Marty's a good coach but not a great one. His coaching opponent that day on the other hand (Bill Belichick) is right up there with Lombardi, Walsh, and Parcells.
FYI, no insult towards San Diego sports is intended-I started following the Padres when they were in the Pacific Coast League in the early 1960s, as I lived in Hawaii at the time and they were regular opponents of the old Hawaii Islanders triple A team. What started as the Islanders is now the minor league team in Boulder Colorado.
Back when I followed the Islanders, their radio play by play guy was a young fellow named Harry Kalas, who now does the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles games. He was then succeeded as Islanders play by play guy in 1968 by an even younger announcer named Al Michaels. Ever heard of him?

No, you uneducated, ignorant Marxist slave, the Democrat Party has blacks just where they want them, and they will keep them there until the illegal invaders obtain the right to vote, then black Americans will be thrown under the bus so fast you won't believe it.

Call the feds, Monty
June 23, 2007 - 17:47 ET by nkviking75It would be a blatant violation of FCC rules and regs for any station to deliberately try to blow another station off the air. If you think you can prove this conspiracy by religious stations to kill NPR <convulsive laughter>, file a complaint with the FCC.
A long time ago the FCC decided to allocated the lower frequencies on the FM dial to non-commercial stations. As a practical matter, that basically means it's a ghetto for public radio and religious translator stations. As a technical matter, the FCC has allowed that part of the spectrum to get really crowded. Even in the boonies like Montana and my state of Iowa, you find a station on almost every FM frequency below 92. That's not a conspiracy. That's the FCC failing in its responsibility to keep stations from interfering.
As for AM radio, a great many of the stations carrying Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc., break at the top of the hour to carry news from MSM outlets like ABC and CBS and does local and state news incorporating AP wire copy. So liberal voices get plenty of exposure on AM radio as well.

hateful cousin monty
June 23, 2007 - 18:55 ET by Pragmatic-ManWhy do you hate so much, Monty?
Monty's problem
June 23, 2007 - 18:58 ET by Cool ArrowPragmatic, Monty was self abused as a child.
I will say a prayer for Monty
June 23, 2007 - 19:01 ET by Pragmatic-ManMonty, I will say a prayer for you, and wish that you are someday relieved of your hatred.
Why do you hate so much, Mont

Im sorry. I forgot that this site is so full of love. Thanks for a good chuckle!
hmmm, who invented hate in the political scene?

you, Monty
June 23, 2007 - 19:03 ET by Pragmatic-ManNo, Monty, not this site... you. I am asking you why you are so hateful?
Hahaha
June 23, 2007 - 19:11 ET by E4PukeAgain you use something you percieve others do to justify your own actions.
Monty's profile...
June 23, 2007 - 19:14 ET by Pragmatic-ManMonty, in your profile you say that you will try not to offend conservatives. I think that maybe this promise has been diminished somewhat. I propose that you could try again, and be a bit more understanding of your NB brethren and their love of country. Try sticking to the issues. Maybe remove your personal invectives. Put the knives away. There are other libs here that do not get so virulent as you.
What do you think, worth a try? It just might make you feel better to let go of some of that hate in your heart.
Monty, you are part of the family
June 23, 2007 - 19:18 ET by Pragmatic-ManLike it or not, Monty, you are part of the NB family. And when you lather up with your hate speech, it forces us all to come down to your level. Why would you not want to offer content that would lift the thread instead of slashing and burning your way through the conversations?
touched Monty's nerves a bit
June 23, 2007 - 19:21 ET by Pragmatic-ManWell, from your silence I can see that I have touched a nerve of truth. I will leave you to ponder your thoughts on this. There is someone filled with love inside you that is desperate to get out. Good luck, Monty.
even those stations have lost
June 23, 2007 - 18:00 ET by Newsbusterbrowneven those stations have lost touch with reality and are severely influenced by big business and dare not go into investigative journalism in regards to the bush familyl
What stopped CBS? If Rather could broadcast out-and-out lies about Dubya's National Guard service, why can't they broadcast "factual" reporting about the Bush family? Maybe because there is nothing to the story?
Do not cloud him with facts
June 23, 2007 - 18:26 ET by E4PukeHe will get cancer one day and blame it on bush. let him live his pathetic life
ML: Between the nonsense you
June 23, 2007 - 18:31 ET by general companyML: Between the nonsense you posted above, and this statement: Its often hard to get NPR when a religious channel deliberately attempts to drown the signal out with a larger signal. You may need to seek professional help, really!! Nobody wants to take your ice-cream, I promise, just don't advocate taking mine!!!
That is what he is advocating
June 23, 2007 - 18:53 ET by E4PukeHe is advocating that and justifying his actions by pointing fingers and saying "Mommy Jimmy did it too" when meanwhile he is just using crazy conspiracy theories so he can look at himself in the mirror and not see the biggest hypocritical duechebag in the world.
Monty, you're in rare form to
June 23, 2007 - 19:09 ET by Del DolemonteMonty, you're in rare form today. What case number of beer are you working on now?
It's kinda hard for a religious station to "block" the signal of a NPR station, as public radio stations have their own section of the radio dial for their transmissions (the lower end). Any "religious" stations you would find down there would be college or university radio stations from someplace like Notre Dame maybe.
What case number of beer ar
June 23, 2007 - 19:19 ET byWhat case number of beer are you working on now?
Tell me how many beers cheney had before he should have been given a dhui! (duck hunting under the influence),
Tell me how many beers bush had when he ran over a bush and ran into the garage of his family home?
Tell me how cocaine georgie sniffed while avoiding his commitment in the national guard?
and Ill tell you how many cups of coffee I've had
and the amount of liquid tears fallen from laughing and crying at the pathetic brainwashing of this country, besides the stupid elementary repuke jokes that this communal circle of friend think are funny?

ps. then they regurgitate even my own insults and turn it around on me
lets get down to the guttural redneck level so you can write a letter to your godfather complaining about my insults.
Monty, in your profile you say that you will try not to offend conservatives. I think that maybe this promise has been diminished somewhat.

its kinda hard when this site loves war and fighting so much. A few on here are actually nice but it appears to be a crime for liberals to get down to the redneck militaristic level of this site.
Thank you for regarding me as part of the NB family, I am almost verklempt and teary eyed.

why be part of a family you hate?
June 23, 2007 - 19:30 ET by Pragmatic-ManWhy would you want to be part of a family you hate?
Funny to see
June 23, 2007 - 19:32 ET by E4PukeFunny to see people like monty throw around the word redneck then they wonder why the dems cant win a state in the south.
got content, monty?
June 23, 2007 - 19:32 ET by Pragmatic-ManMonty, got any content to offer, or just redneck insults. Do you hate rednecks? Why do you hate hard working southerners? Why do you hate so much?
Why do you hate hard workin
June 23, 2007 - 19:37 ET byWhy do you hate hard working southerners
I don't hate hard working southerners.
I only feel sorry for the hatred close minded bigoted rednecks have to progress and a peaceful solutions instead of war and wasting this once beautiful country with parking lots.

you do not feel sorry at all, Monty
June 23, 2007 - 19:39 ET by Pragmatic-ManCome now, Monty, you don't feel sorry for anybody. So you feel sorry for close minded bigoted rednecks? Do you also feel sorry for close minded bigoted liberals? What part of it do you feel sorry for, the close minded bigoted part, or the redneck part?
So now you got a problem with
June 23, 2007 - 19:41 ET by E4PukeSo now you got a problem with parking lots??????? Dude you need a girlfriend dont you.
parking lots?
June 23, 2007 - 19:41 ET by Pragmatic-ManParking lots? So it's the rednecks that invented parking lots? I don't quite follow. Clarify please.
Prag...Oh man...now you asked
June 23, 2007 - 19:46 ET by bigtimerPrag...
Oh man...now you asked for it....lol!
His spiel on parking lots and redneck conservatives is really pathetic.
Please be ready for laughter.....as Noel says so well...make sure all potables and such are safely away from screen...
oops!
June 23, 2007 - 19:48 ET by Pragmatic-ManOops!
Prag...LOl...Well, if you hav
June 23, 2007 - 19:53 ET by bigtimerPrag...
LOl...
Well, if you haven't heard it before it may not be so funny, but I consider him comedic entertainment anymore....it has been quite awhile that he has been entertaining here.
I'm sure you understand my sentiments...
Ahhhh well, it is a slow Saturday evening.....
Let the show continue....
....Monty...step right up.
"They paved paradise ...
June 23, 2007 - 20:24 ET by dahliatravers"They paved paradise ... put up a parking lot ..."
what?
June 23, 2007 - 19:45 ET by E4PukeWhat they dont have parking lots where you live? I bet you have used a parking lot today. Then you insult them. Hypocrite.
What is Mountain of Lies prob
June 23, 2007 - 20:02 ET by BEGRUNTWhat is Mountain of Lies problem with parking lots? Would he prefer we live in caves and wipe with the left hand,,,,,,,,oh wait, people still do that....lol. Your in good company Monty.
ML, Who the heck are you to c
June 23, 2007 - 20:35 ET by general companyML, Who the heck are you to call someone a bigot? I am a Southerner, and I think it is quite clear to everyone who's mind is closed. For all of your complaining about whiners, their isn't a bigger one here then you.
you have a serious problem, monty
June 23, 2007 - 19:35 ET by Pragmatic-ManYou have a serious problem with hatred and bigotry, Monty. I would think you could see that by how often you rile those around you. Coming back here to NB time and time again, just to tell people how much you hate them. But deep inside, it is a need for you to be part of the community. You don't hate us, you need us.
