Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity's syndicator and staged calls

[radiogooroo]

After reading the article I posted the link to below, are you still "very surprised if it was used by Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity"?

If you are, all those dollar bills under your pillow were left by the Tooth Fairy.

Yes, I would still be surprised if any of the guys the looney left is claiming use the service actually use the service. In fact, after reading the article, especially the part about getting the FCC, etc. involved if they were faking calls, I'm convinced the author has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. The FCC wouldn't care, as would none of the other agencies listed. Even if it were happening, there's nothing illegal about it.

The only people who might have even the slightest interest are liberal political hacks and partisans looking to smear like yourself.

Again, this service exists for morning zoo type shows that need people to call in with ridiculous premises to make their phones light up with real calls.

Do you really think Rush needs any help sparking controversy to make his phones ring?

"Left-stream media?"
You do understand that all this stuff is "opinions", right, Jon?
There is an extremely minute amount of non-partisan talk radio presented.
The fact that you don't like it doesn't negate it in any way. Sorry. "

My reference to the Left-Stream Media, was only to correlate the "cherry-picking" of News to suit the Left agenda with the foolishness involved in setting up anything on Right-Wing Talk Radio....

The point being; Right-Wing Talk Radio certainly can't complain about the manipulation of the News from the Left, if they are manipulating the debate about it on the Right.

Perhaps you could name which left-wing talk radio stations you are referring to. And cite specific examples of their left-wing programming. :

Not limited to talk and not limited to syndication. Some in the small time can their own calls and e-mails, as well as even having people show up where they have no right or business being.

 

[jondavidvox]

Tube....

I'm saying Left-Stream Media, not Radio....(Gotta read the words, amigo.)

Examples:

"George Bush lied, and people died..." 2 things: 1.) Was anyone dying in Iraq, and Afghanistan before we intervened?, and 2.) Every Intelligence Agency in the world concurred with what President Bush was saying.

Fast forward to yesterday:

President Obama announced: His administration is going to keep Guantanamo Bay open, and restart Military Tribunals for the inmates there....Keep Soldiers in Afghanistan beyond his 2014 deadline....The number of waivers for the forced participation in ObamaCare has now climbed over 1-Thousand....And as of this morning, he is considering military intervention in Libya.

Will that war be a more righteous one because President Obama started it? I mean after all, what has Libya done to us?

Have you seen/heard anything linking these 5 outright lies/breaks of promises from President Obama in the typical media? Nope.

Voila! Unexplained (and unexplainable) bias.

By the way, don't get upset on this board....Call me this afternoon on The Wells Report @ 866-660-5759 at 5:06 PM Central (GMT -6).

Now i know why i only listen to Dr. Savage, the only authentic show out there.

Agreed. And so true.

 

[recto101]

More wishful thinking from the left. Notice the original quote from Radiodaily.com says nothing about Rush, Sean or Beck. Or talk radio for that matter. The call service exists, but it's for morning zoo type shows, not news-talk Premier has stated that none of their talk show hosts use it, and I doubt if any of the others do.

Phil Hendrie may use that sort of thing. I haven't heard him in years, but I know he used to do comedy routines with fake callers. But I thought he and his own people did all the voices. But he did a totally different type show from Rush, Sean or Beck.

well Its like the WWE very staged.

I'm sorry....I don't know precisely who you are talking about when you say "left wing media" and I see no attribution above. Can you please be a little more specific?

 

[TheSpinMan]

Probably about as much as he can attribute the statement that "every intelligence agency in the world concurred with George Bush". First off, it is an unprovable statement, because intelligence agencies as a matter of policy do not comment for the press in all but the rarest of circumstances, and I doubt old JDW could cite us one like where he could prove his statement to be true. The other problem with it is that it is false, from what we do know. If these intelligence agencies were in such agreement, why did their governments vote against the war in the UN? Because the real truth is their intelligence agencies were telling them that Bush was selling a crock. This is why talk radio is such a poor information source, ideologues like JDW can just claim something is true, and then block any actual intellectual discussion of the subject by loading the lines with actors or screening out calls and all the rest of the tricks. Sorry JDW, this is the Internet, anything you claim can be shown to be false by simply referring to verified source material, like this for example, from 2005:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/12/AR2005051201857.html

or this

http://articles.cnn.com/2008-10-10/...germ-labs-german-intelligence-bnd?_s=PM:WORLD

I could go on. Now is JDW chance to give us something to support his claim.

Spinman, the Cliff Notes version of the reply will be "Those are both left leaning sources". Nothing new here, let's just move on.

Exactly. But when have facts mattered when the left is pushing an agenda? The original poster should have been more responsible. All any of the skeptics had to do was actually listen to Rush, Beck and Hannity yesterday, and they would have heard their response to this nonsense. Amazingly the article doesn't name those 3, but the left loons run with it. Sad.

 

[jondavidvox]

The closest thing I can find to an objective account of the Curveball Affair is from Der Speigel:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,542840,00.html

Good article...Although they seem to have an axe to grind with BND; the German Intelligence Agency. The articles mentioned above are more hind-sight regurges of why President Bush was lying....

As for the rest of it, the British, the French, the Israelis, the Russians, the Americans, the President, the Congress, and the United Nations were all taken in by German Intelligence regarding Curveball Intelligence.

BND now disavows most of their dumbness clinging to a paper-thin story that they warned everyone that Curveball Intel was unreliable....after the fact, naturally....and now refuses to comment on the case, claiming National Security.

However....

We're still not talking about the main issue: bias in coverage. so, I'll get back to my original question....

Why isn't the the Left-Stream Media reporting on the sequence of broken promises/lies of the Obama Administration...regarding ObamaCare, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, and Libya, announced Monday?

Bias, right?

Oh...And Tube....

I didn't "say" left wing media....left wing Radio....red wing hockey....or dan gable's famous chicken-wing wrestling move....

....Reading. It's FUN-damental!

And regarding you inquiry to the specificity of my attributions....as your onomastics seem exiguous in this paradigm, would you kindly reaffirm your request to a more granular level, dispelling your seeming somnambulist tendencies in this inquiry?

Thanks.

[BingoMacGee]

I find it interesting after reading the article, the Salon article that set the stage, and a dozen or so articles referencing said articles... wait... I need to stop and clarify something real quick...

Yes. I can read. I have a reading/comprehension/recital of four pages per minute.

Anyway...

I find it interesting that there is no proof provided that any voice actors have aired on the Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity shows. There is a link between entertainment shows, an entertainment company, and a company that provides entertainment talent, that much we know. But if actors have posed as people who have been on air purporting themselves to be someone whom they are not... where is the proof?

I am not arguing that there have been no staged calls. I'm sure there have. The best radio shows will do that, or they will simply edit a call so that the aired version will sync with the theme of that day better.

I am simply wanting someone to provide the proof that the accused shows have aired paid actors. It's one thing to accuse, it's another to accuse accurately.

... just sayin'...

FULL DISCLOSURE: Every phone call I ever placed was staged. I just wasn't paid.

 

[rodzilla]

Well, look who admits to using fake/staged callers. But he has to try and say Rush did the same. With his logic for doing so himself, why would Rush need to?

So you can't give specifics.. OK. :-*

 

[country24]

Very interesting story.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jack-c...chultz-admits-use-staged-calls-his-radio-show

Schultz didn't give a lot of details, but it sounds like he just paid people to call in order to have callers on his syndicated radio show, probably three or four hours a day, when it was new and only in two small markets. If I had a daily talk show, I'd probably call everyone I knew and ask them to listen and call often and talk about anything they thought listeners might be interested in. But I think offering to pay them would cross the line even if I could afford it. And I certainly wouldn't tell them what to say or ask them to pretend to be someone they weren't.


But saying that Ed Schultz doing something to means that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glen Beck are also doing it is like saying that Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton doing something means that Barak Obama does it too.

And those who accept the validity of the allegations with no evidence at all to support them still seem to be pretending they don't know the difference between morning zoo programs and talk shows.

Exactly. Those of you who DO NOT WORK IN TALK RADIO have no understanding of what is really being discussed here. Accusations and opinions is all you have. Air America HAD to have paid callers because no one of "credibility" would want to or willingly go on Shultz's show. As you can see by the failure that network is. The Limbaugh's, Hannity's and Beck's of the radio world have enough credible people that are dying to be on their shows.

And your "people" can do no wrong.

That loud creak and thud you just heard was the last mind closing.

Discredit all voices of dissent and you win, right? Actually, you end up with "1984."

Victory.

Tube....

Sorry, I thought your last two posts to me were bits....You have asked me twice to provide specifics for something I wasn't writing about.* 

In point of fact, I have provided specifics on Left-Wing Media bias, which you apparently missed, (See Bingo's Quote of Emerson above...) and yesterday, Ed Schultz admitted using fake callers on his Left-Wing Radio show.   

*The point I'm making is that anything that besmirches the credibility of Talk Radio, including the possibility of faking on-air calls to any issue-driven Talk Radio program is pathological, unnecessary, destructive idiocy.
