PBS Flashpoints: Talking about right-wing media bias right now.
Editors from the Moonie Times and Newsweek are being interviewed now. It seems to be pretty both-sided right now, talking from liberal and conservative viewpoints. I have trouble with having to watch O'Smelly ranting about Al Franken on this past clip, because Franken kicked O'Really's ASS in his book. They're about to talk about the Minot, ND chemical train derailment coming up. Good two-sided news-doc on right now. Watch it.

3. I don't want to listen to this fascist CEO from Cumulus Media ranting.
This guy has NO idea what he's talking about. Corporate Radio Crook.

7. OMG, Minot has pop. 40,000, and ALL its comm. radio stations are CC owned.
That's just WRONG. There's six commercial (along with three public) stations in that city.

On the contrary, here in Fargo, a city ordinance limits a company from owning more than three radio stations here.

9. Another kick...excellent program.
Wish they would get behind the REAL reason for the blow up of the Kobe Bryant/Laci Peterson stories though.
