Question: Anybody knows about Salem Communications Corp?
Call-In
Broadcast Indecency Standards
C-SPAN, Washington Journal
Stuart W. Epperson , Salem Communications Corporation

This guy Epperson ws on C-span this morning going on and on about "indecency" and, the little I was able to hear, towards the end, whenever a liberal propounded that right-wing media, covering the news fairly, informing the public, the fact that Michael Powell is the head of the FCC when his father is Colin Powell (possible conflict of interest--I personally would not call it that, I would call it nepotism and RW tentacles everywhere) he poo-poed it. He said "liberals now have their own radio station (as if AAR had the market penetration of a Clear Channel--which he praised for decency measures!). He even replied, in a pissy way, if you don't like what you hear, buy your own radio station... how disingenous can they be?

Anyway, I am going to write to him (for all the good it will do). It infuriates me when I watch slime like this treating us as idiots.

4. Thanks for the links. On the first one, I went to their editorial board
and lo and behold. Looky here (I was trying to bold only those things that indicated RW, Fundie leanings... and ended bolding most of it!). Do you think it is worth writing them? They are beyond the pale. Sigh....


David Aikman is veteran journalist who worked for TIME Magazine as a Senior and Foreign Correspondent for more than 23 years and has written extensively on religious freedom in Asia and the Middle East. He has served as a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. and is the founder and chairman of Gegrapha, a global fellowship of Christian journalists; and editor-at-large of the Internet-based Newsroom, which reports on the religious dimension of worldwide news. His September 1997 Weekly Standard cover story, “The Laogai Archipelago,” was the most detailed journalistic account to date of China’s prison and labor camp system.

Terry Eastland has written on legal and political subjects for publications including The Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, World Magazine and Christianity Today. He is the publisher of The Weekly Standard, a weekly columnist for The Dallas Morning News and contributor to The Wall Street Journal. In the 1980s Eastland was editor of The Virginian-Pilot and Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Justice Department. Eastland was also a correspondent for two PBS programs and editor of Forbes MediaCritic and Media and Politics, the online Forbes publication. Recently he was publisher and president of The American Spectator.

Phillip Johnson a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley since 1967, began a search to understand creation in 1987. An adult convert to Christianity, he was troubled by the fact that the academic world is so thoroughly dominated by secular and naturalistic thinking. He became convinced that scientific evidence and logic support the belief in a God who created the world and gave our minds the capacity to understand truth. His books include “Darwin on Trial,” “Reason in the Balance,” and most recently, “The Right Questions: Truth, Meaning and Public Debate.” He works to disarm evolutionary theorists and proclaim the truth of intelligent design.

Michael Medved is a film critic, best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio talk show host. His daily three-hour program, emphasizing the intersection of politics and pop culture, reaches more than 2 million listeners. Medved graduated from Yale and attended Yale Law School before becoming a Hollywood screenwriter, reviewing movies for CNN and becoming chief film critic for the New York Post. He is the author of “What Really Happened to the Class of ’65,” and also “Hollywood vs. America,” a bestselling indictment of the entertainment industry. He and his wife, Dr. Diane Medved, wrote “Saving Childhood: Protecting our Children from the National Assault on Innocence.”

Albert Mohler, Jr. serves as the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, one of the largest seminaries in the world. A theologian and ordained minister, he was listed in a 1995 TIME Magazine cover story as one of its “50 for the Future”—emerging national leaders of their fields under age 40. He came to the Southern Baptists’ flagship seminary as editor of The Christian Index. Dr. Mohler is the host of “Truth on the Line” a Louisville-based radio show where he brings a voice of clarity to contemporary issues. He is also a frequent guest on TV news shows such as “Larry King Live,” representing and debating for the evangelical community’s viewpoint on social and cultural issues.

Janet Parshall is the host of a three-hour, nationally syndicated program originating from Washington, D.C. As one of the only conservative talk shows in America hosted by a woman, and as one of America’s most articulate advocates for Christian values, Janet is a frequent guest host of “Focus on the Family” and appears regularly on MSNBC, CNN, C-Span and Fox. “Janet Parshall’s America” is thoughtprovoking, interactive radio that allows listeners to exchange information and learn. Guests include senators and representatives; authors and film producers; Catholics, Protestants and Jews; pro-family advocates, historians, public policy experts and national leaders.
