Salem Media--We need to know more (Semi-Vanity)

Same type of co-opting associated with “TEA Party” organizations. They prey on the human desire to be part of a like-minded group, and the fact that few people take the time to undertake thorough review before committing belief or resources.

I’d recommend any FRer put conservativetreehouse on their list of reads—

Thx.

Hot Air was founded by Michelle Malkin, who then sold it to Salem. Likely that financed her move to Colorado from Maryland.

Yep. You’re right about “Wall Street,” though it was a bit overdone which gave us those awful folks camping out on Wall Street, ordered, bought and paid for by Geo. Soros!

A few days ago theconservativetreehouse.com had a heart-stopping article that traced the FEC filings through corporate entities favored by the GOPe and Mitch McConnell in particular. It was last posted here on FR, but really ought to get more attention. Think back to how the Estab joined forces with the Dems to keep Thad Cochran, Senator Miss, in power against a conservative candidate.

Much of it traces directly to McConnel's PAC. Keep in mind that Elaine Chai McConnel, Mitch's younger, wealthy wife, was Sec of Labor for the Bush Crime Family's Cheap Labor Express.

Forgot to finish... Elaine McConnel is on the board of directors at Fox News. Have you ever heard Rush mention that? Here’s the link to the FR thread...http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3418710/posts

I invite FReepers to discuss what they know about Salem Media and Salem Cimmunications. From what I can find out, they are owned by the GOPe and in turn own Mark Levin, Beck and Erikson and probably Limbaugh...

Rush Limbaugh: Syndicated by Premiere Networks (not Salem Communications)

Mark Levin: Syndicated by Westwood One (not Salem Communications)

Glenn Beck: Syndicated by Westwood One (not Salem Communications)

Erick Erickson: Affiliated with Cox Media Group/Dial Global (not Salem Communications)



So, out of four radio personalities cited, none of them are actually affiliated with or syndicated by Salem Communications (the Salem personalities are Michael Medved, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, Eric Metaxas, and Mark Davis, none of whom were mentioned in the opening post, for some reason.)

[Mamzelle]

Just because they aren’t married doesn’t mean they’re not sleeping together.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Correct. The shows of all of those hosts run on some stations owned by Salem Media. But that’s nowhere near being an employee of Salem Media, or of Salem having any say over the content.

They actually started going downhill when Michelle sold the site. But they had great commentators. When they switched to Suckerberg, I immediately deleted my profile and bookmarks.
