Why do progressive stations carry MSM news broadcasts
Advertisements [?]
I'm listening to the Stephanie miller show on 1090 from Seattle. At the top of every hour they broadcast AP radio news and it really sucks. This morning I heard how great things are in Iraq and how Sen McCain "defused" a tense situation by "defending" Sen Clinton after one of his supporters called her a bad name. The contrast between the content of the newscasts and the actual shows in glaring. Isn't there any other news these people can carry.

  - They're radio wire reports, just like print wire reports, so options are limited...  SteppingRazor   Nov-15-07 10:09 AM   #2
