listened to it for a while last night
A radio network has been setup across america to try and bring change to the right wing dominated talk radio in the us...
You might have already heared of but there hasn't been any articles on so i though i'd write one...
listened to last night for a while, it was talking of the bush newsconference and taking the piss out of him, liberal info-tainment i guess , quite funny...
it tried to highlight the hyprocracy of bush and his men pointing out their dodgey connections and past....in the way of morning radio does lots of wisecracks....
at one point somebody said that it was the war a precurosor to a corporate take over of the country, i dunno bout that, perhaps the station is only preaching to the converted there but hard to get away from that
but again its show interesting use of technology to get your point across on a small budget and if its goes off air every now again who cares
reading about it i've heard its had financial techincal diffuclties and been up and down all the time, but is alwasy available on the net at www.airamericaradio.com
ps a good link which picks out the errors in both parties tv/internet ads http://www.factcheck.org/

Al Franken and his buddies will be off the air within 6 months.
A nice little dig that Al gets in on the'O'Franken Factor' is that it is 'drug free radio'. Limbaugh is a lame addict. Al exposes the liars, and rules.
I don't think this radio station will have much impact as the right-wing radio hosts are too entrenched in peoples minds (and very popular too). I know a guy in San Franciso who listens to it, but he admits it doesnt feel like SF is part of America anymore.
But what about Fahrenheit 9/11? Whatever you think of Michael Moore, this could really change opinion in America, give people an alternative view to whats going on. For so long long now people have been afraid to raise voice of dissent for fear of being labelled "unpatriotic". This film could open the floodgates. For some time Moby has been critcising Bush and urging people to see the film. Now Madonna has urged fans (in America) to see it. Various celebs have been attending the premieres, etc.
I have little time for celebrities myself, and its too easy to be elitist and say "so what". Basically, this might be what is needed to remove Bush from power.
Today it was reported on Alaska NPR that 65 to 120 GOP congressional staffers are being sent to Alaska. Their job is to help Rep Gov Markouwski's daughter Lisa, to defeat the incumbant Democrat Senator Tony Knowles. My question is, Who is making the payrool for the Republican staffers? It should not be at US taxpayers expense!
Please see what you can find out about this one and what can or should be done about it.
Thanks.

This is the only way I could get in. If there is a better email address, let me know, I'd be happy to comply. Norm
Way to go Democratic Leadership. Not only have you done a disservice to the whole Democratic Party by the sorry excuse of a campaign you ran, you have legitimized Bush’s first term by losing the electoral vote and the popular vote. The members of the Democratic Party demand answers of how we could lose this election when we out spent the Republicans, not to mention amount of dissatisfaction with the way the county was headed and how the Bush was handling Iraq.
WE DEMAND ANSWERS!!
