But like yours, they make no sense. The free airtime candidates get on talk radio alone would be good enough reason for a loudmouth representative of the left (union bosses) to put his money where his mouth is and run a radio station. Heaven knows they've managed to dominate broadcast television news. I'm not saying it hasn't been tried, George Soros and air america.

Madison's Mayor was a regular guest as was state legislators from Glen Grothman to Mark Pocan talking about state issues. John Nichols was on daily to discuss both local and national news. Labor leaders and laborers from around the state and Illinois were on to talk about workers rights struggles. A lot of people in Madison work in or with government and as the recall effort showed, there's a lot of interest in worker's rights. Sly was offering the news and information of concern to this community. The trend toward national media and the loss of local voices and perspectives is indicative of the many areas in which the public is losing control of the resources we own and that we built.

IMBR- It only puzzles you because you are a weak-minded fool. The reason left-wing radio isn't as prevalent as right-wing bilge is simple:<br /><br /> Who owns radio stations? Who owns TV stations? Who advertises on them? <br /><br /> Of course, if they silence us on the PUBLIC'S AIRWAVES, guess that means we have to take it to the streets and your neighborhood in order to be heard.

His comments are indefensible, whether he apologized or not. <br />But his views seemed close to yours, I assumed that is why he didn't suffer the "air america" fate sooner, being that he was surrounded by like minded people. If he could control his childish comments he was better at presenting the viewpoint than most. Contrary to capper, his market share ratings were very bad. It will be interesting to see where he lands. There seems to be an audience out there for his point of view, but who will take the chance he isn't going to shove his foot in his mouth again. Certainly the left can do better in finding a spokesperson. <br />It still puzzles me why liberal radio can't stand on its own if 47 percent of the country is liberal. And yes, I chose that number, to "stir the pot" a bit.Imustberacisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980736361844115046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-89833156868948670242012-11-22T07:29:27.230-06:002012-11-22T07:29:27.230-06:00Dan,

They didnt even apologize for pushing the BS Mediatrackkkers/christian schneider story about Mark Pocan. <br /><br />The greater point he was making, i know your too simple minded to get bigger points, is that despite the fact that Scott Walker hated Rebecca and broke the law to make Brett Davis Lieutenant Governor, she won anyway. She won because the right wing hate cabal on the radio loved her and pushed her and her lemming followers did what they were told!

She’s hardly a, she’s hardly an entrepreneur. You know what? You know how amateurish that is? Cold-calling?<br />(Mocking Kleefisch in high-pitched, slurred voice)<br />‘Would you like to move to Wisconsin? Would you like to move CouponCabin to Wisconsin? I’m Rebecca Kleefisch. I perform fellatio on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee. And they endorse me and that’s how I became lieutenant governor. And then I got colon cancer and I ran around the state to help people. Even though I have government health care, screw everyone else.’<br />…I had heard at one point Rebecca Kleefisch pulled a train, but that must have been a different story I was reading about.<br />“Pulled a train” is vulgar slang for group gang rape. <br />Yeah,this guy is a piece of trash.<br />But I guess you liberals cannot take it, but instead whine, cry and complain about what we said.
