What about Howard Stern? (I've never heard him, so I dont know.)


Howard Stern is the man single handedly responsible for the formulation of this proven media law:

"Lesbians equals Ratings"




Could you explain that please?


You're using a picture of Stewie Griffin for an avatar, and you're seriously asking for an explaination of Stern's Law?

I don't think Family Guy could have been sold pre-Howard.

Status: offline 		  Well as far as TV goes and that`s the top of the heap,SNL, "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" are by far the funniest and most entertaining shows around.They kick neo-con ass with class and flair.

The cons are a never ending source of material for comic writers.

Rush tried TV,twice,bombed twice.Dennis Miller`s new right-wingy show?Bombed.Remember Fox was going to have a "funny" show to, counter Stewart and Colbert.Bombed.

The righties just aren`t funny.

Now Rush does have an audience,... and gets payed,but he`s way down on the media scale of importance.It`s like saying you`re the best junk man in town.While maybe true,you`re still a junk man.

The fact that he lies daily, is another issue.

Status: offline 		  Is there some other media that tops broadcast television(besides Collarme`s message boards)?

My comment was how radio relates to TV.Not on the quality of television programing,which is sucky.

As far as radio goes,it seems like music programing has the loin`s share of resources.

Talk-radio falls in last in line.

So Rush is king of the hill,err,shit pile.....was my point.

The question is why Air America would try to be an even bigger turd than Rush, and then whine when thinking liberals prefer Carlin, etc.  to Franken and the rest of the Rush wannabes.

Let's see, Rush just signed a 400 million dollar deal. Sounds like he is doing much better than you are.

Rush got rich by being an obnoxious hatemonger, appealing to those who feed on hate, and while it may be subjective that you are fascinated by him and his imitators, it isn't subjective to notice that faux-liberal talk radio tried to outdo Rush at his own bufoonery, and flopped. 
Those who don't want to be told what to think by bigots simply didn't like it, for the same reasons they don't like Rush.

Progressive thought as exemplified by those I listed, is about skewering what Rush thrives on, not by shovelling more of it.

"not by shovelling more of it."



Your statement implies that AA or one of it`s hosts is or has engaged in those crapy things that you listed about Rush.


Since I know you`re full of shit on that,I`ll ask for some examples of what you claim.

Status: offline 		Hmmm... those crappy things?  Like bigotry... otherwise known as 'stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own'?

You mean appealing to haters, like the faked Randi Rhodes 'mugging' at the hand of sinister right wing agents...or her 'f**ing whore' rant?  Or appealing to ignorance, such as her claim that Hitler was elected leader of Germany? And so on and so on?

Or should we just focus on your own hatemongering and bigotry as an example of what has hijacked the good name of liberalism?



Why bother? So that you can exhibit more denial like you did with your 'what liberal lies?' when confronted with incontrovertable examples?



No, if you want to support the ludicrously extreme assertion that Air America isn't trying to outdo Rush at his own game, you are the one with the responsibility to provide facts in support...

But I'm betting you will shirk that responsibility.

Proof of those silly assertions?

Here`s your chance to shine yourself,instead of just demanding other members show some proof or a link,artical,etc.,etc.Or even an example of an AA host`s words, showing what you said is true.

I`m not holding my breath.

O59, did you want examples of liberals telling lies?  Hillary's sniper, Bill's blowjob that he didn't get, a certain ex VP who created the internet .... my point was that both sides do it.  Those that blame only one side for lying are lying to themselves.

If left wingers could get more entertaining spin artists to compete with Rush and Co, they could easily take him off the air.  Believe it or not, I would love to see it happen.  Then, he would have to get a new schtick together or retire.  And I would rather listen to Howard Sterns myself.  Maybe he should become the new spokesman for the left.
I missed this thing about the ex-VP and teh Interwebs. When was this?

You've already demonstrated that you won't acceptthat Hillary lied when she claimed to have been dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.

Fell free to prove me again correct by continuing to deny that the links proving you wrong about liberal talk radio playing Rush's game exist.

Several teeth mising?  Out for a week?  Some people will fall for anything. 

And here's another one you can claim doesn't exist.

You feel free to re-define progressive ideals in terms of hate, zealotry, denial,  and bigotry all you want... for yourself.
