killing cyclists is fun

Can you provide a link to a credible source that cites exactly what this DJ said, and when?

It'd be pretty silly for people to just start e-mailing this station when they don't have any facts....

Thx.

I used to listen to the "Morning X" show all the time when
I lived in atl, it was the only morning show I've ever
really liked (unless you count npr). From looking at their
site it seems like they jumped on the howard stern/bob &
tom bandwagon. Sad really, radio has gotten unbelievably
cookie cutter.

Blame the concentration of ownership and the imperative to
rationalize costs and profits across a large corporation.
Risk is bad, profit is good--and high-quality things are
often also high-risk.

Oh well. OT as hell.

but hopefully not while riding unless they make a good show

Fewer players makes it easier to control the message. If all
the sources are saying the same thing, it _must_ be true. If
it's not on the TV news - it didn't happen.

Fewer players also implies larger corporations with higher market capitalizations and a particular political orientation (an orientation not easily reconciled with the traditional stereotype of the media).

Now why do I have trouble imagining that they are looking out for the little guy....

Taking a class right now. Teacher has a friend who observes, "All newsgroup threads--regardless of the subject of the original post--eventually become diatribes about gun control."

I figure we're fewer than 11 posts away 😉

Are you implying that Faux News and Clear Channel are not
liberal pinko commie subversives? How can you say such a
thing! Why, only the other day, Faux News failed to call for
the castration of a man acquitted of rape, even though he
was black. Damn commies!

just fyi, the australians have disowned him. he's officially
an american now. he became a US citizen in 1985 to comply
with FCC regulations (awww!). can we give him back to
australia? by force if required.

While that is hardly shocking, I am surprised that the Fox
News Channel television channel and Clear Channel radio
broadcasts actually reach the UK yet they must. After all,
Guy commented on both and Guy is a pretty liberal fellow
(except when he's advocating cutting off goolies, anyway
<g>😉 and we all *know* that liberals never *EVER* comment
on anything without carefully considering all the evidence.
Interminably. So *are* Fox and Clear Channel broadcasts
heard as easily in the UK as are BBC broadcasts?

The Murdoch Empire extends to the UK in the form of BSkyB
(the sattellite/cable television company) and control of
_The Sun_ (indisputably the most influential lowbrow tabloid
in the UK. Governments tremble before the influence it has
over its semiliterate readership).

Clear Channel, as far as I know, doesn't reach Blighty.
However, for broadcast radio, the UK has had the same level
of consolidation for nearly its entire broadcasting history--
it just happens to be a state corporation: the BBC.

Same in Oz I believe.

Wonder why we're not all thinking alike now, given the same
mind control news media?

They do indeed. We can also get CNN, MTV and all sorts of
other US channels through the miracle of "400 channels and
nothing to watch" cable TV.

Heh! Whereas Conservatives pay for evidence that matches
their pre-existing position. There you have the opposite
ends of the political spectrum neatly summed up :-)

Of course not, but the channels, the websites and the
political influence are all present here.
