Okay, Scoop . . .
. . .  but what talk show hosts are the Congressional liberals listening to? I don't think any honest conservative would have any problem at all working in union with the Democrats. But cooperation has to be mutual, or it is merely capitulation. Thanks for reading!

WofL many times myself and others have blasted a repub or a demo
when actually the hate and dissent is carried on by outrageous talk show hosts who spread the word to their listeners which further divides the country. I think many of us have to tune them out and get the parties to work together for a better America.

I'm surprised our liberal readers haven't blasted me for this!
But before they do, perhaps they'll take time to read today's post.

Writer...after clicking on the links.....

I find it very hypocritical of Fair to criticize Beck no matter how outlandish and brash he may be....

Does this group also condemn Imus or Stern for the tacky things they say sometimes?

This one blurb got to me the most in their mission statement........

We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. As an anti-censorship organization, we expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled.

Then why are they trying to muzzle the likes of Beck.....and Limbaugh...though Rush has a much saner approach.

They should change the first line to:

We work to infect the First Amendment  by advocating  for less diversity through the promotion of a Liberal, far-left slant in the press.

We used to get Beck in our area but Clear Channel replaced him with a local talk show.......he's very funny...I can guarantee you Liberals won't find him funny at all...he's doomed to a short life on CNN unless he brings along some of his loyal radio followers......He's on the right...but  the scale measuring CNN won't even begin to move to the middle.

An example of his work is "More On Trivia" (say it real fast and you get the real name) He would call Convenience stores in the town of teams playing on Monday Night Football.  He always hoped to get a foreign worker......he would ask trivia questions about US history or Current Events and it was hilarious......I loved his humor.

writer,

A great post as usual.

How many links could you have shown to prove your point? This really hits home for me. It seems you and corbin are the best at not just telling us what is going on, but showing us what is going on. Thanks for being so thorough in  your "reporting".
