32. The White House announced a program today
Edited on Thu Dec-08-11 04:21 PM by Tsiyu

to help launch an effort to identify homegrown terrorists. They are discussing it on NPR right now.

If the US is using WLAC 1510AM as some sort of "psyupp duh" to catch crazies, they can do it on some private channel. But that's not what this is. This is irresponsible promotion because nobody is listening to this stuff anymore, no one can take it seriously but loonies.

So it's time to have at least one show in communities with Democrats. If they have to do this to get ratings, they are not serving the needs of their public.

I dont post the name of this program, because it is WLAC's sole responsibility to air content. And they are failing to broadcast in the public interest, without discrimination or violent speech as the terms of their license dictate.

Thanks for the link.

The Fairness Doctrine must be restored as well. This is an outrageous abuse of a public resource. If we all listen, we can make a difference. Occupy the stations. But don't call the show, just make a complaint and use the host's name as little as possible. Use the station's full name, city, call letters and affiliation when you write or blog about what you might hear.

Put pressure on the stations, and the FCC. They will respond. Or else we need to get a new FCC.
