Since Air America Radio took Morning Sedition off the air, I've pretty much stopped listening to the local station that has AAR on. Not really in protest, there just isn't that much on there I like. I catch snippets of Randi Rhodes, but that's all of AAR programming. There are some non-AAR shows they have on...The Lionel Show I listen to for 10 minutes on the way to work, but that's about it. Stephanie Miller is OK, the voice guy really is amazing, but they seem to get paid per heavy sigh...after every sentence, there's a huge pause and then...
SIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHH. It's a close third to Randi's Tard Laugh and Franken's "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" before every sentence in terms of annoying radio traits.
Oh yeah...my point...so I was thinking. These cats all have the goods on our politicians. But they're just preaching to the choir. I'm not an idiot (really...I'm not). I know that Air America exists to make money. Morning Sedition was our version of National Lampoon Radio of the 70's and that didn't matter. Nixed because it wasn't pulling in the ad revenue...and I think there's supposed to be super-rich lefties bankrolling AAR. So no scratch, no airtime.
But my short dealings with (especially young) righties has made me realize that if there's ever going to be any change in the people's way of thinking we have to take matters into our own hands.
No, I'm not calling for armed revolution...something better. When military coups happen, what's the first thing they go for...radio & TV stations. Again, no violence here. We do shit with Cuban radio and we have in Europe for years. Someone needs to figure out how to jam right-wing radio stations & broadcast real news. To be honest, I wouldn't even want it to be crap like Air America. I said this from day one...that's just more yelling. Something like
Democracy Now would be good.
Now, before I have Homeland (in)Security at my house...I'm being facetious about this. But the jist of this is, presented with nothing but propaganda over a long period of time, that will become individuals' dogma. Which isn't good even for the left. That's why you have normally progressive people supporting Hillary Clinton or The Douchebag. There has to be a way to get serious journalism into the hands of people who don't normally see it...also known as the other 99% of the country. And as soon as I can figure out how, I'll probably meet my "untimely demise".
