Hubbard Broadcasting

[trotsky]

no name no slogan brought up how right-wing Hubbard is. For those who don't know, Hubbard owns KSTP (Channel 5 TV), KS95 FM, AM 1500, etc. Pretty solidly right-center to ultra-right outlets.

It just occurred to me how they're using Ed Asner in their advertising campaign. The campaign is funny, mainly because Asner is just plain great, but I wonder if he knows how biased they are? Ed's a famous liberal, and I bet he wouldn't be too happy knowing he is helping promote a right-leaning station.

[no name no slogan]

1. damn, that's right!!!

As a matter of fact, Ed was backing Kucinich in the primaries this year. I had totally forgot about those commercials, but now that you mention it, it is kind of strange.

Ed can't be that hard up for money these days, can he?

2. A small sample of Hubbard's politcal donations

this is by no means an exhaustive list, I just got tired of looking. If you're doing business with hubbard advertisers, this is where a portion of your money is going.
