Won't be hearing about this on Rush, Hannity etc...

Oh..ok.. That certainly cleared everything up for me. ;-)

Yup, got that right at least. Supposition and innuendo, with a side of paranoia.

Clear channel sucks...but radio yet lives...No drama Obama will be re-elected...he probably plays too much golf these days...but he was payin attention in school and isn't playing catch-up like Bushie trying to learn where Liechtenstein is...he's restored some dignity to the office and though he has been a dissapointment overall..he's still the best game in town...Romney and his cronies I would be very wary of....more his cronies than Romney himself who seems to be a fairly rounded guy.

Lol, k..

Paranoia, supposition and innuendo would be the Obama derangement syndrome on the right (oh no, the commies are coming! The socialist is coming! ).

Call me names all you like, but it's not paranoia, supposition or innuendo to at least get it right as to the why in why Obama is a terrible president. He's terrible because he's Bush/Clinton/Bush "full strength" instead of just a watered down version of Bush/Clinton/Bush like we thought we were getting.

You've been sooo had my right wing friends, and you can't even see it. You're gonna miss Obama/Bush/Clinton/Bush if we ever have a real and fair election again in this country, that actually reflects the will of the people (lucky for you that won't happen though). Just because a person likes pro wrestling doesn't mean they don't know it's fake. You still like the "sides", and you still love the "drama", but it's all fake nonetheless.

Opinion and entertainment programming is has no obligation to disclose ownership and/or delcare political bias, because it is not news.
Unless you think the hypocrisy squad (Limbaugh, et al.,) is actually news, where's the beef?

Yup, that's certainly one way to defend this "media" we have in this country I suppose BL, kudos.

The beef is that it (talk radio) does masquerade and present as news and information, as does Fox "News". Hannity's show's promos even boldly state "the best news and information, blah blah blah..

People have a right to know who funds the above, and who owns them. Even though it's a wink wink type joke, they still are "the public's" airwaves until they are totally privatized (coming soon no doubt).

Before the inevitable is said - No, MSNBC, NBC, CBS etc are not real news and/or information either. Real news and/or unbiased information look more like Democracy Now! (Amy Goodmans show), Greg Pallast.com, CSPAN (to name a few) etc.

What's the will of the people?

If you can't figure out the difference between opinion and news...
...maybe you shouldn't be voting.

And if you think Rush and his cohorts pretend to be news...
see my first point in this post.

Seriously, how spoon-fed does the media consuming public need to be? Must everything be precisely and clearly labelled because the people are too stupid to figure out the difference between opinion and information? Frankly, I think that the public is smarter than that.

Most of them, anyway.
