NY Papers' AAR Update

[Radio_Realist]

"And I don't accept you as the arbiter of right and wrong (we objectivists like to sort those things out for ourselves)."

Which could explain why liberal talk radio has such a hard time finding an audience. It stems from a mindset that "right and wrong" are not self-evident concepts, but rather something that comes from the decision of some arbiter. And, that since liberals don't recognize anyone as a valid arbiter, it's everyone for themselves as to what is and isn't proper behaviour. Then again, the concept of "proper" behaviour is also a rejected.

This makes it very difficult for a liberal talk show host to manage to resonate with a large, mass audience.

"I will make a deal with you."

And another characteristic of the liberal mindset that makes programming liberal talk difficult. Since there is no such thing as "right and wrong", everything is subject to some sort of negotiated deal. And, if anyone changes their mind about the deal, then it gets re-negotiated.

So, this is not a "deal". It's a simple statement of my intentions, regardless of what anyone else does. If no one spams the boards with a plethora of redundant threads, I will not comment on the absence of the redundant threads. If I see something that inspires me to make a comment, I shall make a comment. But if something about which I have commented in the past ceases to happen in the future, then I'll have no reason to make further comments on that which no longer exists.

This is why the world hates the US. Arrogant. Self-righteous. Hypocritical. The great international bully. Just like you.

This is why I can't stand neo-cons, authoritarians and the religious right - always wanting to impose your views on everybody else.

Scott, you were banned from the old Radio-Info for this behavior. So you went and started your own board so you can ban anybody who did not agree with you as the Pope of Politics. You are a dishonest and reprehensible human being with no regard for anyone but your self, which might be a good definition of conservatives.

I will continue to post as I see fit.

You can [edit] yourself.

Please, I beg you, include Scott's last name so that the real Scott will take some action. Your guess that I am this "Scott" person is as erroneous as most of your opinions on news/talk radio.

I see. You are going to SPAM the board until you get your way. Is this blackmail or a tantrum?
You are not someone here from whom I would expect that kind of behavior.

Pot to kettle. And the smiley face should have told the story about how serious I was, but ignoring that made it easier for you to bring out the tiny violins in here. You are awful prickly about being called on spamming the forum. The fastest way to end this "spam topic" is to simply cease posting multiple topics on the same subject. Then it all goes away.

That's some mighty fine spin, Phil. But you continue to miss the point.If you got the NY attorney general investigating hundreds of thousands of $$$ in a shady loan transaction, it doesn't matter if it's Evan Cohen, or not. It's a 'meaty story' regardless, and if you say otherwise, you are clearly being dishonest. It's a meaty story if it's Mel Karmazan!!

Yes, it's a meaty story about the Gloria Wise foundation. What got so muddied along the way by those with an axe to grind against Air America is who was investigating what. The NY Attorney General has never investigated Air America Radio or Piquant. The AG's office investigated the executive board of the Gloria Wise group as part of the DOI investigation the city was running. Gloria Wise is not Air America. Read Baloney's blog and you'll see that little fact MIA, with plenty of effort to suggest Spitzer's office was investigating Al Franken, et al. It never happened.

It's a much,much, meatier story if it's involved the new 'progressive' startup network that was co founded and chaired by a former republican from Guam that totally suckered the liberals at AAR. I mean, c'mon! The whole " I had brain cancer, and then I found the 'progressive' ideology scam? Priceless. Only a committed liberal...uhh, I mean 'progressive' could fall for that one.

I wish I could find a copy of 'Left of the Dial' so you could watch it, and get a clue.

BTW, there is this hilarious scene where they are explaining to thier staff that thier healthcare insurance was cancelled. They even tell these 'progressives' that they did not pay thier premiums, and the staff gets pissed at the HMO. It's comedy gold, I tell ya. The scenes from November the 3rd are just gut busting ;D

Wow... if we relied on your recollections of what was in Left of the Dial, you've just won the Brian Maloney Journalism Award and you can start your new blog today! I have seen the documentary. The venom was directed at Evan Cohen, who was caught IN the documentary inflating advertiser support for the network. When Cohen left when the empty promises were revealed, people weren't pissed at the insurance company, they were annoyed with Cohen. Randi Rhodes was irritated at Air America management.
