He’s saying a lack of variety and innovation is killing AM radio and I’ll add killing talk radio, just as a lack of innovation is killing Red Lobster.”<br /> <br />One of the keynotes, tipoffs in the proper?… demise of talk radio occured when Clear Channel programmers encouraged “conservative” talk jocks usage as mere government propagandists, repeating the distortions of the government and military leaders from Iraq about the nature, progress and assumed justice of the Iraq War.<br /> <br />Big media “conservative” talk radio showed then, it, at least had clearly outlived its ethical usefulness, whatever the capitalist value of the publicity stunt. If talk radio can propagandize for the government about matters of mass loss of life and limb, US troops and Iraqi innocents….it has outlived its value.<br /> <br />A radio parallel, had it been in existence then, would have had the Vietnam War’s version of Mike McConnell<br /> and the grouping of his other CC fellows from other American cities sent to Saigon to repeat without question the lies of the government & Col. Westmoreland about the progress and the justice of the Vietnam War from Saigon as they did from Iraq’s capital.<br /> <br />Freedom and “our way of life” was not at stake in either place.Saddam had no WMDS (as Pat Buchanan and Scott Ritter had already proven before the war) and the Domino Theory, wherein if we didn’t fight em in Vietnam we’d be fighting them in Los Angeles didn’t happen.<br /> <br />And the post war public apology of Bll Cunningham doesn’t qualify as an “innovation” which re-establishes<br /> talk radio’s worth. As we see here, the Iraq War is still being justified as a war for “freedom.”<br /> <br />www.ivaw.orgamspirnationalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9768998.post-77191952886865656582014-05-27T09:52:06.082-07:002014-05-27T09:52:06.082-07:00http://www.700wlw.com/articles/national-news-10466...http://www.700wlw.com/articles/national-news-104668/obama-to-keep-nearly-10000-troops-12394482/<br /><br />Meanwhile Obama goes on his warmongering, lying, promise-breaking, drone bombing way.Ken Hoopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9768998.post-25625598236396898992014-05-27T09:50:30.043-07:002014-05-27T09:50:30.043-07:00Kristol and the neocons openly approved of it, des...Kristol and the neocons openly approved of it, desiring a "tradeoff" wherein pressure would be taken off Israel and, as currently, a Great Russian anti- Zionist axis stymied. Thus Israel wants Assad, Hezbollah and Iran battered, Russia because in alliance with them and because of historic Russian "anti-semitism" defined as any form of Chriatian culture which defended itself against Talmudic anti Christianism.Ken Hoopnoreply@blogger.com
