My computer died and so while it was off being repaired ($300.00) I was stuck listening to good old fashioned AM and FM radio. I was really surprised how so much of it was RIGHT WING RADIO and or CHRISTIAN RIGHT radio. Since this was San Francisco, I did hear a few stations in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, or one or two East Indian stations.. But I ended up listening to Sports radio (Damn! Giants fell out of first place!) or George Noory on his Coast to Coast Radio. (I think I miss Art Bell, at least he wasn't political..) KGO talk radio is nothing like it used to be. Its all either Moderate or Rightwingish.. with a few exceptions, (John Rothman.) and KCBS News isn't news! Its a 30 second sound bite.. which makes you wish you at least had a newspaper to read something more in depth about what's going on in this country. The Olympics of course dominated and while visiting my doctor, the TV sets all had the stations on the Olympics. Good on Team USA for beating Poland in Volleyball.
I am rather disappointed and Frustrated with AM Radio. Its been so over taken by Religious Right wing Donald Trump supporters. (Gagged when Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh was on, I quickly turned it off. I can't even listen to right wingers any more. They are insane!!)
Glad to have my lap top back, and glad to have access to real news and events again. Maybe I should consider having a back up computer just in case this happens again. AM Radio is a desert wasteland with Republicans screaming in the foothills like Coyotes!
