3. That'll be a real change.

I stopped listening in early 2005 when Stupid was doing his Potemkin town meetings trying to drum up support for gutting Social Security. I woke up unpleasantly to 4 consecutive wingnuts ending with the greasy Ken Mehlman all talking up the scam to destroy Social Security with nary an opposition voice around. That did it. My clock radio is set to a classical station and I can stand the brokerage and Porsche ads a lot better than I could back to back GOP propaganda.

I had already given up on broadcast news. Losing NPR was my last tie to the world of "news" as the corporations want to define it.

If this change actually happens (if they kick Stupid's wingnuts off the board), then maybe I'll turn the dial back to the left.

Probably not.
