Try (tic) NPR or PBS. If have this need for radio, get satellite

You have so many choices where to get your news, your bitching and

The issue is the commons and whether one point of view dominates the
public airwaves to the detriment of others. Many people listen to
Limpballs by default, as he is on the only station they can pick up at
work, etc. How much right-wing talk is available in Dallas? How much
progressive?

24! So many? Why not just 1,2, or 3? Why let anyone "own" a
broadcast station? Broadcast stations should all be government owned
and operated.
Heck, why not just farm out the entire "Progressive" brainwashing
propaganda lieing machine to Beijing, Tehran, Moscow and London? The
highest bidder! They'll be happy to run it entirely under their own
budget and we get "Progressive" G-A-R-B-A-G-E 24 x 7 for free.

What 'market' for Left-Wing-a-Ding-a-Ling
Talk Radio is their in Dallas, TX to begin
with ? ? ? : That NPR {PBS} do not satisfy
and fill the need of Liberal Radio Listeners ?

* "Air-America" Failed because they were trying
to compete with for Left-Wing {Liberal} Radio
Listeners who were already NPR {PBS} Radio
Listeners and very Loyal to the NPR {PBS}
Brand.

* Nation-Wide the NPR {PBS} Brand has over
2400 Radio Stations; while Limbaugh and Hannity
can only manage to get on about 500 Radio
Stations : That Better Than 4-to-1 in the the
NPR {PBS} Brand's favor.

* 23 Texas NPR Member Radio Stations
http://www.infoplease.com/ipea/A0758937.html
http://www.tpr.org/
That a pretty good 'network' to counter-balance
Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, etc and paid
for by my Tax Dollars.

* For that matter why aren't my Tax Dollars
helping to support true fairness on the Radio
and requiring NPR [PBS] to carry 33% of it's
Programming to reflect the Conservative Voice
since they are 100% Left-Wing {Liberal} with
some Moderates to do the "Me Too" act with
them in the name of so-called 'liberal' truth.

Hitler was a right winger.

As far as station ownership, corporate ownership was never a good idea.
There were originally limits on the number of stations a network could own
outright (5, IIRC). Deregulation was a bad thing that led to
megacorporations owning hundreds of stations (thousands in some cases). Some
cities have more than 30 stations, all or nearly all owned by just 2 or 3
corporations.

What About The 'Choice' Of The Public Not To Know :


Simple. Those who want to believe patent nonsense can listen to their
favorite dip**** programming. Those who wish to be informed will have
the opportunity to listen to programming designed for people with good
minds and a good education. Both types of programming will be
available, not just one, as is the case in many areas today.

-ps- oops that right you just want to force your views
on others and jam your opinion down their throats.


No, that's YOUR bag, not mine.

* Scream At Them that There Is No God

You're talking to the wrong fellow. If there truly is a God, as I
believe most of the time, he's just as close to me and my life as he
is to yours. In fact, for all you know, I may be closer to God than
you are.


* Tell Them That They Have No Political Rights
* Teach Their Children Evolution {Only}

Wrong again. The kids around here don't even know what evolution is,
anymore than you do. All they understand is creationism that they get
in church and they don't even have to take Biology in school, which
the vast majority of them know nothing about. In fact, I just
listened to a degreed student preparing for medical school tell me
that she thinks Biology is "a bunch of bull****." She said it
conflicted with her Christian religion. I asked her how she intended
to get through medical school if she doesn't understand Biology and
she responded that she is able to "cram" the information at will
without liking it or understanding it. That doesn't sound like a
plausible plan to me. As I told her, the Theory of Evolution is only
a model for the origin and diversity of life. It never was intended
to be taken as absolute fact and anyone who thinks it was or is is
misguided and mistaken. Nevertheless, it's a good model, the best one
we've come up with so far. Problems arise when people obsess on it
and act as if it is absolute fact when it is merely a well tested
theory. Oddly, religious people such as yourself continually make the
mistake of believing that biologists consider natural selection to be
a fact, when in reality, it is merely a a set of carefully considered
and vigorously tested assumptions that are in accord with the vast
majority of our observations of the living world but that someday will
no doubt be amended or discarded for a more accurate model.
