Dave Zweifel: Reach for the salt with 'attack radio'

By Dave Zweifel
The Capital Times
Published: January 16, 2006

I got firsthand experience the other day on how this phenomenon some call "attack radio" is creating a misinformed and distrustful public.

It was the day when the bomb alerts had the downtown in a tizzy. I needed to get to an event just off the Square so I turned the car radio to WIBA to learn which streets were barricaded while police squads removed the suspicious packages that had been planted seemingly everywhere.

Instead, I was treated to the tail end of strident attacker Vicki McKenna's ranting and raving over the news that Sam Alito's wife had to leave the hearing on her husband's Supreme Court nomination in tears. This was the first I heard of the episode so I listened more closely. ...

How typical: talk about the same boring crapola the national hosts are droning on about, giving us nothing we can't all get from a thousand other places. Frankly, I don't care what *Rush* thinks about the Alito hearings; why would I give a wet slap what little Vicki McKenna has to say on the subject?
