I agree with that statement. This guy has to complain about every little damn thing about radio and TV, then has to turn everything into a political war. It's really getting old.

I see it this way: if you don't like radio, don't listen to it. If you don't like television and/or the news, don't watch it. Stop bitching about it. The world doesn't revolve around your ass or your worthless political viewpoints.

Does anyone have a copy of the radio-info bill of rights ? Something in there about being able to express your personal views, even if you are a "yak-sak" in real life. I vote NO on banishment. Entertainment is in the eye of the beholder, and many times, the responses to the original post, are more interesting then the original ever was.

Yup... Giving listeners content that consistently has them tuning to your frequency in droves has never helped anyone!
