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.

Wow! Feminists concluding that men and women are different and women-targeted radio is a viable media idea!

That means they won't have guests who disagree with their world view.

"Three of America’s most controversial women — Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, and Rosie O’Donnell "

Feminist freak, commie sympathizer seditious bitch, and ignorant loudmouth lesbian - all of whom are ultra leftists - are going to offer programming that's less polarizing.

Right.

These people LOVE polarization - that's the only reason they've gotten any attention all these years.

What? Were they visited by three ghosts at Christmastime? I'll have to hear this to believe it.

Sounds to me like it would be like 24 hours of Dr. Laura. All man-hating all the time.

Let's hope this turns into another venture than sucks up massive amounts of Dem-Dollars just before the election cycle really begins.

Gosh. I do so hope they cover kneading sour dough bread. I've had a devil of a time trying to get my home grown yeast to rise.
Also, how do they measure cup size for sewn-at-home braziers?
America could use a new woman's radio show. There's way too many of those kooky, left wing, off the wall conspirator shows on radio today. Lord knows America could do without another one of those!

Just what America wants:

A traitor;
A baby-killer;
And a fat-assed lesbian.

Yeah, lots of women can relate to them!

Polarizing?! AM Radio is one of the few places I can go to hear commentators that align with my political beliefs. I think those who are polarized can go listen to Al Franken (assuming that network is still on the air).

sappy television romances on Lifetime

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

Are they talking about a lesbian orgy or a radio show?

Speaking of Rosie, saw a great bumper sticker:

"Blaming guns for violence is like blaming forks for Rosie O'Donnel's fat ass."

I can't stand all 3 of them. Another program to turn off, just like The View. None of those women have anything to say that I would want to hear.

"respect for other points of view?" Does that mean that Tom Selleck will get to speak?
