All Thursday morning (4/15) the 5~Fifty tea baggers lead with the same story - yesterday's KFWhyEye Smackdown! Nurse Jeff and I thought this was just a little bit self serving, so we listened to other Valley stations to see if they covered the same news story. Not a mention on KT'R. A no show on KEZ. Ditto for KNIX, KMLE, KZZP, KSLX, etc. And nada on KJZZ. Hmmmmm....there's just something about this that doesn't sound right. But an audio clip featured on KFWhyEye this morning did: one listener said he came to the smackdown just to hear what the Nearly Bald One sounds like without sound effects ;D

Since when does one station-sponsored event constitute "news"? "Hey, let's send a reporter to cover a competing news station's event?" Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Must be why I never hear KUPD's "U-Fest" simulcast on KOOL, KNIX, KMLE, KZZP, KSLX, etc. And, hey why didn't KFWhyEye cover the Catholic Bishop flipping the "on" switch to the diocese's station a few months ago? 'Hmm...' is right. ;D
This was done first by KTAR and their famous "no KTAR allowed on the ASU bus" "news" story.

55/FYI's self-servingness aside for a moment, do the above stations
even have real news, at least in morning drive?
By real news, I mean something other than a giggling sidekick using
that day's Arizona Socialist Republic as a wire service.
And if the NBO was SFX*-less, did the official KFYI illegal alien Raul
get left behind too?
*: Barry's SFX from the "1952 NBC Thesaurus Sound Effects" transcription series.

I noticed that, I hope they didn't hurt their arm from patting themselves on the back. As for today, Barry is on another lengthy hyperbolic rant about how he doesn't like athiests. He tends to flog things waay past their freshness date lately. A few weeks ago, he endlessly talked about how the Republic was covering Easter, no one was calling to talk about it. Barry really needs some competition, lately he has just been cranky and boring as hell.
It reminds me of KT'R breathlessly flogging the christmass stage show.
Hey, when IS it going to reach 100?

asugeo--this year maybe we can get KT'R to hook up with the Prattster
where he will host a free BBQ for the winner.
