Part of the Salem Web Network. Christian programming. This page mentions a Dr. Doris Rapp as a guest. Any relation to the Rapps of Triad GSI?


Salem Web Network is:
• The leading provider of Christian and family- friendly content on the Internet including music and ministry streaming, commentary, articles and reviews

• In touch with a loyal, faith-based audience demographic

• Division of Salem Communications, the nation’s largest Christian media company

• Wide distribution through both national and local web entities

As usual, Alex Jones is ahead of us on this:

Mr. Blackwell is a member of the national advisory boards of Youth for Christ…and was formerly a domestic policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C… Mr. Blackwell has held the nation's highest security clearance…He is a contributing commentator for Salem Communications, delivering commentaries on Salem's more than 90 radio stations nationwide…In 2004, Mr. Blackwell received the John M. Ashbrook Award given jointly by the American Conservative Union and the Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs. Past recipients of this award include President Ronald Reagan, Ambassador Jean Kirkpatrick and Charlton Heston.

The Heritage Foundation is a very famous and influential politically-right think tank (and that is only the beginning of its story). Is there anyone in the American Conservative Union who voted for Kerry? Is the Pope Protestant? As for Salem Communications, here is a snip from its website:

Salem Communications Corporation is the leading provider of radio programming, online resources and magazines targeted to the Christian and family themes audience. For over 25 years our core business has been the ownership and operation of radio stations in major U.S. markets. We have also developed a radio network, which offers talk, news and music content options to stations through affiliate partnerships. We own and operate magazine publishing and Internet businesses, both of which share our commitment to our target audience. We continue to look for opportunities to strengthen our leadership position in the distribution and development of Christian and family themes content across multiple media.

Blackwell is also a Freemason, fo those who didn't know.

His involvement in the Youth for Christ, mentioned above, made me think of the Young America's Foundation, which Frank Donatelli heads up; Donatelli is a "featured conservative speaker" for schools.

Then I found this on one of the Salem Web Network's websites:

What is it with these people and websites?
