Ms. Radio -- What Women Really Want on Air
National Review Online ^ | Sept. 15, 2006 | Carrie Lukas

Posted on 09/15/2006 7:41:24 AM PDT by ReleaseTheHounds

Three of America’s most controversial women — Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Rosie O’Donnell — just launched an all-women-run radio network, promising to offer programming that’s less polarizing than the typical all-talk AM radio fare.

A women-centered radio network isn’t a bad idea: Lots of successful media outlets specifically target women, from sappy television romances on Lifetime and Oxygen to family-centered morning shows and magazines. The new all-women creation, Greenstone Media, follows a similar model. It endeavors to be entertaining as well as informative, and relate to women’s everyday challenges with family and work. Steinem told Reuters that the network has a “different spirit,” will offer “more community” and show “respect for different points of view,” instead of “constant arguing.”...

There’s something delicious about a feminist icon like Steinem creating such feminine programming when so much of the feminist movement still rejects the idea that men and women are different.

I do not think it is appropriate to call Rose O'Donnell 'a fat-assed lesibian.'

She also has an abnormally big fat head.

That sucker has got to be at least 25lbs.

Hopefully they'll go the way of Air America. They are the last 3 women I'd want to listen to (even if I wasn't a conserative woman from a blue state).

This is priceless. The very people who have been ranting about sex discrimination for years have decided that they are exempt from the laws that others must follow.

Would be hilarious if someone hit them with an EEOC complaint/civil lawsuit for sex discrimination in hiring.

Yeah and if these typical American women can manage to relate to anything normal I'd like to know what it is!

Seems to me that Lifetime is more devoted to stereotyping all males as abusive and to male-bashing in general than to sappy romances....

I can be more specific:
1. Man abuses woman (preferably Meredith Baxter)
2. Woman tries police. They do nothing.
3. Woman sets man on fire, preferably in bed
4. Defense attorney makes jury cry.
5. Woman gets acquitted.
6. More crying.
7. Repeat next week.

"I do not think it is appropriate to call Rose O'Donnell 'a fat-assed lesbian.' She also has an abnormally big fat head."

OK:

Just what America wants to listen to:

A traitor;
A baby-killer;
And a fat-assed lesbian with an abnormally big fat head.

Double-Dog Dittos, Sister! I also don't watch any of those so-called "Networks for Women" or The View or Oprah. What a waste of time!

Exactly. I don't listen to Rush and Mark Levin cause they are 'polarizing'! I listen to them because I mostly agree with them!

Soap operas are one of the longest-running TV genres there is.

Wonder what took these airheads so long to figure this out.
