Of course the site has Limbaugh's approval..it's main purpose is to show Liberal bias in the news media! So what? Does this take away from the finding on the site? Or are they just dismissed as "right wing" propaganda? Speaking of interesting, fair.org tends to have Limbaugh and O'Reilly in their crosshairs regularly. THey are entertainment news analysts that are paid to give thier point of view. They aren't journalists supposedly giving unbiased news. I have found the media Research Center, although Conservative, have targeted major news outlets and shows(ABC, NBC & CBS nightly news)...not so much entertainment organizations. It's funny that radio hosts like Limbaugh, Savage & Hannity are on in most major markets, having gained popularity and ratings growth from the ground, up while the new Liberal network required a Billionair's financing and are only in 6 markets...with poor ratings! I heard they are even in trouble because of bouncing checks to station carriers. Every liberal bitches and blames but I rarely hear answers to issues that would actually make me think. This is why I lean towards conservatives...less finger pointing and more action! Rob

I mean, which of the true conservative values has W adhered to. Certainly he is not fiscally conservative - he is borrowing money left and right. Certainly he is not for less instrusive govt. - can you say a Const. Amend. taking away a state's right to allow gay marriage, tghe Patriot Act, etc. Finally, the Fed. Govt. is the largest it has ever been mostly due to W. None of these things in any way fit the conservative framework. Last edited by strandinthewind; 04-18-2004 at 04:46 PM.. |

It's sad and frightening that the conservative message gets that much attention and P.R.. As I said, when you make something into a three-ring circus (which O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Hannity do), then of course people are going to watch or listen, because it's sensationalistic. The amount of viewers or supporters doesn't mean the message is a good one. Quote:
And, any "action" they take almost always somehow screws over "the little guy." Just have a look at the link in my signature (the AFL-CIO's BushWatch).

I heard a Democratci strategist the other day on the radio say that a major reason for the presidential loss in '00 and the subsequent loss of seats in Congress in '02 was because the Dems were spending too much time attacking Repub's and not getting their policy messages out. I agree. It's all you hear from Kennedy and Daschel, etc....blah, blah..."Bush is to blame for everything!! Vote for us!! We'll fix it!! We won't tell you how yet!!" Rob

O'Reilly needs to get some original material. The whole Jim Jones/kool-aid person schtick is Randi Rhodes'. She's been saying it for ages and uses it when talking about O'Reilly and Hannity; she must be proud that she's rubbed off on that schmuck.

All of those radio shows are carried by Clear Channel. If you don't know all about Clear Channel, I'm not going to waste my time by explaining anything to you. Limbaugh stills ranks 21st almost ever year and when he was up against Randi Rhodes, she whipped his ass and took the number one slot. None of those conservative shows "gained popularity and ratings from the ground up," they were forced onto the market by Clear Channel. Hannity's show regularly bombs and he gets close to no listeners in his major market, New York. Air America does not get poor ratings, either. Radio ratings come out every quarter, four times a year and their ratings won't be published until the end of June. The only way for them to measure ratings is by measuring their online streams. Ironically, their online streams were higher than Limbaugh's, Hannity's, and Savage's combined. The last time they checked, they had over 2 million simultaneous streams. That's not good, that's amazing. As for the "bounced checks" bull**** that you got directly from The Smudge Report, it's ENTIRELY false. Liu, the man who owns and operates Multicultural Broadcasting (which airs the LA and Chicago Air America) illegally double-booked the air time and broadcasted the Spanish network that they booked instead of AA. He forced security to escort the AA personnel out of the building and changed the locks to the studio. What he did was illegal; he already cashed the checks and got the money, it had nothing to do with bounced checks. HE STOLE MONEY. AA went to court and got a restraining order anf got a court order that forced Liu to turn the stations back on. Check your facts, man. While we're talking about Savage, I'd like to hear you try to defend that rat bastard like you do every other conservative. That f*cker is plain evil.

Lou Dobbs rocks. He is to the point and not afraid to step on any toes. But yes, it seems that the majority of people want to be entertained by their news, reveling in human suffering and embarassment. |

But you have to question how balanced that is. Hannity is a viper and Colmes is just stupid. Also, Rob, if you don' think Hannity is vicious, read his latest book. It's shockingly bad and erroneous, but he presents all of it as facts. or, you could read Ann Coulter, who believes that McCarthy is one of the greatest men to ever grace the earth.
