I've found that taking a look at FSTV (Free Speech TV) & MSNBC (Donahue especially) gives me a look into the minds of the truly demented.

Anyone else?

Interesting offering they have at the free speech TV

"Starting at: 03:00:00 EST
On the Front Line - A rare look at diverse Israeli youth during, Beit Israel, pre-military-service training. (Remember kids, lie down and crawl or you might get hurt!)

Starting at: 03:55:00 EST
The Green Invasion - A look at the World Rainforest Movement's international campaigns focusing on industrial tree plantations." (Fascinating!)

Scary is that it only takes 51% to have pluralistic tyranny and those "truly demented" know it.

Monday night Donahue's show was on conservative bias in the media.

I kid you not.:what:

Please, folks, if you're going to post comments about another Web site, how about including a link to that Web site in your post? Makes life easier for the rest of us who would like to see the sites you're describing. Thanks.

His audience has been steadily shrinking.

I saw the ratings books last week and there is literally an asterisk by his show listing that indicates that the audience is reaching a point where the statistical methods normally employed to project audience size from the sample may not be applicable because of the small sample size.

Translation: "Too small to measure". They are already trying to find a schedule replacement for it.

Listen to the liberal bleat that, "It isn't fair". The airwaves are the ultimate form of capitalism. If a show, radio or TV, can draw an audience with out crossing the bounds of taste and community standards it will grow andmake money.

There are liberal radio shows here and there; Mike "Marxist" Mallow, Ski and Skinner in Chicago etc. But they are all stuck in a late night or Sunday afternoon slots when listenership is rock bottom and they are used as filler. It just makes the Dem's climb the walls that they can't get a foothold in a medium they all abandoned twenty years ago in favor of the major network talking heads shows.

The common theme on many of the liberal talk shows in how unfair it is that Rush gets 15 hours a week "to spew his message of hate" and they only have two crummy hours on Sunday afternoons. Hey! Get an audience and you'll get the time (even if they do write the station in crayon because they aren't allowed sharp objects where they are)

Given the chance they would regulate the airwaves for their version of equal time if they could.

Say Goodnight Phil!

Peter,

This is regards TeeWee, no the 'net.

Free Speach TV is an offering offa DishNetwork (at least) - a satelite TV-thing.

Based outa Boulder, CO (sigh that it's so close to me) & a full-fledged & tagged left-wing-thing.

Democracy Now! is especially enlightening.

Got to see a whole hour of Michael Moore & The Nodding Hostette .... (didn't we used to have a puke symbol?)

So, if liberals think the media is conservative, and the conservatives think the media is liberal, what does that really make it?

The left already has an entire radio network subsidized by the tax payer called National Public Radio. Give it a listen and you'll see. In addition, there's always Pacifica Radio, the voice of communism, feminazi screeds, PETA, and eco terrorism in the PRK.

I swear.

You must listen to hear what it is that you must counter.

It ain't pretty, no doubt, but if you don't know, how will you be able to say, "Nope!" to.
