I was in my car where I sometimes will tune in just to see what disinformation they are spreading today.
Today was all about what Rand Paul said yesterday to Dr. Fauci.... if you've been vaccinated you do not have to wear a mask. Time to give up the masks. Now it's really imposing on our civil liberties. blah blah blah .
Expect to see a lot more maskless covidiots from now on. Since Rand Paul said it yesterday. Seems to be today's talking point.
OH BY THE WAY
the host of the show (John Phillips) also introduced himself and said he was broadcasting from his home in Palm Springs.
OH ANOTHER THING
this same channel (KABC, 79) also will be having Dan Bongino's new show on their air. He's the guy replacing rush limpbaugh. except rush was not on this channel in this market.... so unfortunately more people will be listening to another jerk spouting more disinformation and he's a nasty piece of work.
from Bongino's wiki page:
-- He has frequently appeared on Fox News' opinion programming and on the conspiracy theory website InfoWars
-- In 2018, Bongino said of himself, "My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That's it."
-- Bongino was a strong critic of face mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic,[2] claiming that face masks are "largely ineffective."[28] During the 2020 election, he promoted false claims of voter fraud.[28] After the media called 2020 presidential election, Bongino backed Trump's claims of election fraud.[37]

I'm sure Tucker and Sean will run the clip of Joe tripping on a continuous loop.

(10,428 posts)He's on the Fox "news" Sewer all the time. I guess that makes him a suitable replacement for a drug-addled gasbag.

(182,730 posts)I heard a state Senator and then a wedding planner this morning complaining about how their industry has really been hurt. Im sure it has. The Repub state Senator couldnt say arbitrary limits enough.
Bongino huh? Googled it and youre right. Hes the replacement for the Milwaukee Sherriff guy who flamed out. Funny that not too long ago Bongino was supposedly the owner of Parler. Questions were raised and now hes just referred to as an investor. Pretty big leap for him. Well see how the audience takes to him. Frankly, Rush is impossible to replace.

Why is The University of Southern California sports broadcast on a station that provides nothing but racism and hate for the rest of their programming?
Hate radio MUST be destroyed, and companies and organizations that provide them succor MUST be held accountable and responsible.

(14,853 posts)I think some of their perpetual outrage is emotionally appealing to unhappy people. Then the lies seep into their brains eventually.
That was my impression while observing some coworkers listening to Limbaugh in the late-80's, and later with O'Reilly on FOX News on 9/11. A lot of those later coworkers didn't even act very upset about the terrorist attacks that day (unlike me)... until they saw O'Reilly blow a gasket on a break room TV!

(66,308 posts)A woman absolutely refused to wear a mask before setting foot inside. We ran her off, but we could hear her screaming all the way down the block. It was pretty incoherent, but I'm sure some of the verbal diarrhea was about her fucking "rights".
Not in my clinic, lady...
