City Council Warns ‘Crack Ho’ Comments ‘Intolerable’, Calls For Diversity In Talk Radio

[certainot]

5. the shame factor is gone with this RW radio monopoly. these blowhards are 'acceptable' now because

they have a monopoly and no one is talking back to them. they hide behind call screeners and use paid callers. the GOP think tanks routinely send them talking points using framing strategies that incorporate race baiting and hate of all sorts.

these dicks are comfortable using the hate speech because it is officially sanctioned by the new GOP and it is acceptable because 1000 coordinated radio stations skirt it every day and there has been NO organized opposition from the left. acorn and immigration and obama/muslim are all part of the voter suppression/election theft and get-out-the talk radio base (dittohead/teabaggers) strategy.

we'll always have racist hatemongers and money in politics but it's only as big as it is now because the left ignore talk radio.

until recently the talk radio monopoly that has been kicking democracy's ass has been getting a total free speech free ride, invisible to those who are attacked by it until the damage is done. then the left reacts as if it was fox, or the result of some political shift instead of coordinated repetition to 50 mil a week, supplied by think tanks to create pro-corporate constituencies and pass whatever the 1% wants.
