I gotta say it again: in liberal Boston, it was off air for a couple years due to low ratings and then one guy bought time on a sports station to put it on. That’s right, he had to buy time because no station wanted to try the format. Now the station has the usual libtalk suspects and it still doesn’t show in the ratings...last night for the heck of it I tuned it to see what typical lib things they were saying:
“This country is being run by a corporate-ocracy... the media
is controlled by the Right. People like Fox News and
Limbaugh” (the guy kept pronouncing it “Lim-boww”)
Yeah all those TV networks, papers like the NY Times,
magazines, movies, definitely a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The host was also a bit down on Obama and health care;
more of the “this wasn’t what we voted for” from the Left...
They were calling him a sellout to corporate interests.
“If any President were to NOT do that, I though it would be him...”
After a minute or so I switched off...
I remember some other curious sampling of this stuff,
like a couple days after the 2004 election when Franken
had people on talking about how it was stolen. They
sounded either bored or half-asleep (..past noon...)
One of their now doomed programs:
http://rationalbroadcasting.com/index.php/Programming/Shows/Cindy-Sheehans-Soapbox.html
>>What happens when you give a well known Troublemaker for Peace her own radio show? A LOT!
>>Cindy Sheehan is best known as the ‘Peace Mom’ who protested against the Iraq War and gained media attention by camping outside President Bush’s Crawford Texas ranch at a site she designated ‘Camp Casey’ in memory of her son Casey who lost his life while serving in Iraq.
Since that time, Cindy has travelled the world and spread the same message that war - legal or illegal - is not the answer. Cindy’s books, talks, protests and even her run for Congress echo the same message now as they did then in 2005. Nothing has changed it seems as she still sees the same wars continuing and even escalating.
>>Join Cindy every Sunday from 3-4pm on Rational Radio 1360am as she interviews guests from the realms of activism, TV, film, music, journalism, academia, and international and national organizations who are dedicated to achieving peace through strategies of non-violence.
