Mike Malloy on mainstream media relying on twits like Erick Erickson and Frank Luntz (9/7/12)
Mike Malloy ends his September 7, 2012 show (last 2 segments) ranting on mainstream media reliance on right wing pundits. First with Erick Erickson on CNN, then with CBS recently hiring Republican pollster and linguistic revisionist Frank Luntz as a political analyst. Mike summarizes Robert Draper's reporting in Draper's book "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" of Luntz participating in Republican schemes to obstruct the Obama agenda.
Article that Mike read: "CBS Hires Frank Luntz, The Man Who Reportedly Shepherded The Plan To Defeat Obama"

The bumper music that opened the last segment is "Russian Roulette" by Michelle Shocked, a song I uploaded to YouTube since it didn't exist there:
