because I can get Randi Rhodes next, And a commercial for Meg Whitless comes on.

I just want to move to England. We can't win with this fucking media.

1. Listen to Hartmann on KPTK. (But Schultz follows)
I am so glad I don't have TV - I have not seen the Whitman horror.

2. One of the byproducts of corporate media ownership
KTLK is a Clear Channel affiliate. And Clear Channel sells ad time in bulk for the entire market (Los Angeles in this case) so the same ads will be heard on all Clear Channel stations within the market. Left wing talk, right wing talk, rock, country, classical, it doesn't matter, they're all playing the same ads.

On the other hand, just imagine the Freeper reaction if they hear a pro Prop 19 (legalize weed) ad in the middle of the Mush Limpdick show. :)

4. I say that's okay -- No Whitman fans will be listening to Hartmann, so take her
advertising dollars!

I love clicking on RW ads on DU just to make them pay! If they want to help us out, I think it would be rude of us not to take their money! :7 :hi:

5. That's common.
Our former Air America station here in MN has Green Party ads attacking the DFL candidate for governor. It's about the green (read money) not the Blue.
