talk radio

Woke up this morning but I didn't feel good once I saw the Business section of The Charlotte Observer. Charlotte residents were greeted with the news that the takeover of radio by the purveyors of hate is now complete because CBS Radio is going to turn WBCN-AM into another channel in white boy talk radio. Now we are going to hear from our co-workers radio in the other cubicle such luminaries as Hannity, Beck, and Savage.

As most of you guys here in the Charlotte area know, the 9 to midnight slot on WBT--when its 50,000-watt voice blasts across the entire East Coast--belongs to Tara Servatius. There are times when she can be dead on--for instance, talking about Charlotte's growing crime problem and the occasional stumblebum antics with CMS. But other times ... well, let's just say that sometimes she sounds like Rush Limbaugh in a skirt. Like last night, when she had NC Repub chairwoman Linda Daves on for her first hour to talk about the Obama attack ad.

If we do not focus on the neocon media all the blogs in the world will not stop American Fascism.

For those who haven't heard, conservative talk show host Glenn Beck took a particularly egregious cheap shot at those suffering through the wildfires in California by saying:

I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.

Excuse me? Now how in the world is this acceptable--especially with people actually having to flee twice?

I just was a guest on Mike Feder's show SIRIUS Satellite Radio show and learned something deeply, deeply offensive.

The liberal channel is called "SIRIUS Left."

The conservative channel is called "SIRIUS Patriot."

SIRIUS Satellite Radio doesn't think you're patriotic. This is an obscenity.

SIRIUS's media relations representative for talk radio is Hillary Schupf. Her email is hschupf@siriusradio.com. Her phone number is 212-901-6739. Let's start with her. Share what she says in the comments. This cannot be allowed to stand.
