Taming of the American Press - very DAMNING program on NOW!

[Rabrrrrrr]

Gonna be soon on Wisconsin Public Radio, if I might be allowed another WPR plug.

Taming of American Press equals, according to the advert I've heard, "That the American press has become, not journalism, but part of the steno pool of the white house".

Hopefully, it will be phenomonel, as are all things from WI.

And though not relevant, I just want to take a moment and say "FIBS go home!!!!!!"

Here's the link:

http://www.wpr.org/webcasting/ and then click on "listen live to the ideas network"

WPR has an 800 number you can use from anywhere in the country.

I think it starts about 8:10 pm Easter time (7:10 wisconsin time)

800-423-talk is the number

on edit: i said "PR wing of the white hose" but the real advert was "the steno pool of the white house", even more damning!!

2. gee i really miss

wisconsin public tv, we used to get it in northern il but can`t anymore..i can pick up the radio sometimes..well at least i can listen to the webcasts..thanks for the tip!

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. No prob!

Their internet feed is excellent - I've never had it drop on me or lose connection or lose fidelity.

WI is a great state.

And since you are a fellow DUer, I won't call you a FIB, since you obviously have a brain!

4. Ooh - fantastic! Now comparing the coverage of clinton vs. Shrub

in the media, and also how coverage changed for Shrub after 9-11, and how jouranlists after 9-11 who were critical, lost their jobs.

This is great!!!!!

Theyre on a few minutes news break, but will come back and talk about how 9-11 changed coverage for the idiot king.

5. All over - mods, you can lock if you want

the show's done, everyone's gone home, the studio is closed, America is out buying a sueprsized mcDonalds deathmeal and shopping for American Idol paraphernalia at the local mall.

Intelligence is over, please, move along... go buy a pet rock or something...

feel free to lock this thread.

WI is the most wonderfully progressive state!

6. Mods, please don't lock

Just found out from a friend the show is:

Actually, it was On Point, which is a nationally syndicated public
radio program that WPR buys into. You can find the story here:

Worth looking into, ya? Great show.
