Revolting C-Span

[cali]

Hours of Kerry slamming via a radio call in show out of Philly, hosted by a creep name Michael Smerconish. Guest now is the Stolen Honor producer, Sherwood. Truly reprehensible. Almost unbelievable. Contact C-Span.

1. when I saw that I had to turn the channel

Amazing

[NicRic]

7. Me to !

As soon as i realized this guy was spewing the anti Kerry B/S based on his service in Nam , I said to myself ,thats it time to change the channel. This stuff is so disgusting ,that they would waste everyones time with these assholes that want to knock a mans service to his country .While the guy they back was a no show when it came to doing a stint in the guard that would have saved and did save him from the draft. Someone should take these guys dress them up in a uninform and send them to Iraq .Since they so strongly support bushes un needed war ,let them go die over there. Or even better I wish we had one of those time machines so we can throw them on a boat going down a river in Nam , I assure you they would'nt last a minute ,most likley be cowering in a corner of ther boat crying for their mommy ,while Kerry is saving their lives ! I cant think of anything more disgusting them a president that avoided serving his country , not even having the decencey to ask his supporters to lay off Kerrys service ,except to honnor it. Just on this issuse alone,Kerry should win in a landslide.

2. wtf?

Where's Washington Journal? You can tell Smerconish knew this C-SPAN thing was coming so he lined up an all-star list of smear artists like Sherwood.

[Riddler]

3. They're doing a series of radio talk shows from around the US

and since the vast majority of these shows are right-wing Vulgar Pig-boy wannabes, we can expect nothing but Kerry bashing for awhile on CSPAN

[Connie_Corleone]

4. The radio talk show last night was right-wing too.

[flpoljunkie]

5. Outrageous! I have emailed C-Span to demand equal time for GOING UPRIVER

director, George Butler.

[mcg]

16. What is their email address?

6. F*** THIS

THIS IS COMPLETELY DISCREDITED SHIT THIS GUY IS TALKING - IT IS F***ING OUTRAGEOUS

[rvgwinn]

9. All I can say

IS BRIAN LAMB

[sherilocks]

8. I had just turned it on when I saw your post

Disgusting. Really disgusting. Thom Hartmann will be on at noon, live. Not exactly equal time tho, for the regular Washington Journal viewers and listeners.

Lynn Cullen's show will start at 10 am. Who is Lynn Cullen?
Call-ins at 9. Get on the horn everyone.

[LTR]

12. Thom Hartmann's on today?

That's great. He has a good show that is very underrated, and unfortunately, on against Franken.

As for Lynn Cullen, she's a liberal talk host out of Pittsburgh.

I've watched the C-SPAN radio show things since the early 90's. The funniest was when they were in the studio with Imus, and during a commercial break, Imus went off on a profanity-laced tirade toward his staff, then realized he was on live TV. He was very quiet during the breaks after that. Man, I'd hate to work for that pompous asshole.

[sherilocks]

19. Thom Hartmann on Friday

I think. But not today. I keep missing the annoucement. But I thought I heard Friday.

10. not watching, but sounds like a free speech issue to me.

Of all the cable channels, Cspan is the fairest. They usually air all points of view, and I've never really sensed a bias. They even cover third party views. Even if something is offensive, it has a right to be aired, as long as it's not propaganda close to an election without giving the other side a chance to rebut (e.g. Sinclair). I'm sure Cspan will give our side enough time to balance out these wackos.

11. I think if you were watching

you might feel differently.

[LTR]

13. Agreed

I have no problem, just so long as C-SPAN keeps it fair. They do this radio show thing all the time, especially close to the election. Actually, it's kinda interesting to watch.

Sounds like they're going to feature some liberal hosts as well.

I don't want one-sided liberal talkers any more than I want one-sided conservative. C-SPAN has a good history of playing it down the middle, and that's what I like about them. If they have a few wingnut shows, so what? Just hope they feature some left-leaning people too. And it sounds like they will.

[Skittles]

23. I'm not asking for "ALL LIBERAL"

I'm asking to not see sheer propaganda and lies go unchallenged on WASHINGTON JOURNAL

[Skittles]

22. I disagree

conservative hate radio has no place on Washington Journal.

[MsTryska]

26. I dunno...I thouhgt so too,

but lately it seems the wingnuts have totally taken over.

Last Saturday morning was particularly irksome. They had one woman who was a conservative speaking, and then the next person they had was a "religion reporter" from the Moonie Times of all places, appearign to be soem sort of reliable source. And no opposing view. I was disgusted.

[Fluffdaddy]

14. BEFORE AIR AMERICA RADIO THIS WAS THE ONLY TALK RADIO IN TOWN

Thank you AAR. 1210 AM "The Big talker" play the talking points for the GOP/BUSH/ROVE 20 out of the 24 hours a day 6 days a week. This is what I had to put up with in Philly

[Eurobabe]

15. Won't watch or listen to anything this week

except non-threatening music. It's a joke out there...

7 days until we remove the pimple from the ass of progress!!!!

[npincus]

17. I turned it off. Without calls from the left, there's no balance

the guy and callers are simply revolting

[Fluffdaddy]

18. The 1210 AM line up. This is all I had to hear locally for years :(

http://www.thebigtalker1210.com/personalities/

All Right wing nut jobs


There is NO equal time for the Left on 1210 AM "The Big talker".
They will let a Left thinking caller on the air one or twice an hour then Blast the hell out that caller when he hangs up.

Thank you AAR

[Dinger]

20. So I Wonder When They Will Have Someone From

Air America on, or how about Milke Malloy, or Al Franken, or Randi Rhodes, or me?

[PCIntern]

21. Smerconish was fellating Ed Koch

last week...Koch said that although he didn't agree with a single one of Bush's domestic policies, he was voting for and endorsing him blah blah blah...Smerconish the dimwit then hastened to ad that although he agrees with Koch on the Iraq issue, Mikey believes in many of the principles outlined by Bush, BUT NOT ALL, thus trying to curry favor with that dumb-ass prick from New York, who now cant' put togetheer a sentence without 50 ummm's and ahhh's - they must have the goods, and there are plenty I'm sure, on Koch.

anyway, Smeerkie was just creaming in his pants to be able to talk to a fellow on the air who can help sell his book. Dumb Bastard.

Problem is the old WCAU 1210 was full of intellectuals in the old days - now they renamed the station "The Big Talker" and it's full of RW morons exclusively.

sux bigtime

[nostamj]

25. CHILL OUT

it was followed by THREE HOURS of Liberal Radio with Lynn Cullen

they are ALTERNATING left/right talk radio all week.

if you can't find the remote, pull the plug.

[Pepperbelly]

27. I saw that shit this a.m. I turned to A&E who ran a bio of Steven King. n

[theangrydem]

28. Lynn Cullen followed up

I never heard of Lynn Cullen until today, she's a talk show host out of Pitt, PA. Cullen was on after the wing nuts & she was GREAT!!!! . Go to the C-Span site to hear the re-broadcast. I think they should have her on Air America instead of Randi Rhodes.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. Thom Hartman will be on same C-Span program Friday

[BlueNomad]

30. I caught some of Cullen's

three hours on c-span; she was excellent!
