NPR Solid repug Spin This Morning |
|
Could have been WPR (Wisconsin Public Radio) too. They talked about how some Dems are lowering their expectations, but of course named none. Then they had rove spinnin' like a sonofabitch, saying the repugs would keep the House & the Senate, blah, blah. Sorry, I don't have a link. I did hear this BS this morning though. As someone else here posted this morning, CNN is wasting lots of time whoring for bu$hCo.

1. Another one over the weekend |
|
While my local lib station aired their "paid programming" on Saturday morning, I skipped over to NPR for the first time in a long time. UGH--they were doing a story on the upcoming elections and the only sentence I heard was along the lines of "But this year, more Democrats will be voting for Republican candidates. Mary Smith says, 'I like what Joe Blow Repub has to say...'"
That was ENOUGH. Two seconds in, and I was switching over to the crappy FM "music" stations--it was THAT bad.
How the mighty have fallen.

3. Similar thing on Maine Public Radio |
|
early this morning. They were talking about Rove's "real numbers" and about how great a job * is doing on the campaign trail in GA & TX. They were sure to play sound clips of the cheering crowd in the background during yesterday's blathering about how "some of them" were picking out their offices in the West Wing two years ago but never got to call the movers.
I'm sick of them giving this asshole free campaign air time and touting it as "news". I told them so during their last fundraiser when I called to make a pledge to NOT support them anymore.

4. NPR is annoying. They are arrogant and talk down to listeners. |

We need to keep Air America Radio and other liberal radio talk shows on the airwaves. In Los Angeles, the daytime broadcast of the station that broadcasts Air America shows is OK. I can't listen to it unless I am traveling in my car, however, because I am working. The night and weekend broadcasts are displaced by sports, and I mostly like to listen on weekends and nights.
Advertisers need to understand that we have purchasing power and will buy from companies that advertise on liberal radio stations. I don't know how to get that message across. The right wing does it through boycotts, but a lot of DUers don't seem to think that will work for our side. Any suggestions?
