Government allied media have a pebble in their patent leather pumps--talk radio, of course.
Government allied media control much of what we know and don't know. This is fine with both the left AND right today-neither side likes dissent. The right, a small group sometimes known as republicans, is eager to side with the left and wants no intrusion from constituents. A news blog writes that nevertheless, 7 Democrat US representatives are questioning the contents of the government's pending health bill--what nerve that something over 1000 pages should be questioned-- and comes up with 4 culprits:
- 1. Their pesky constituents have communicated objections to the bill.
- 2. These constituents live in states that have talk radio stations. (The states with apparent dimwits are: Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Utah).
- 3. Pew Research says (only) 22% of Americans get news from talk radio (which proves the opposite of what the author is worried about).
- 4. When a lie is told on talk radio no one is there to correct it. In this case, the writer surmises a lie is told about the health bill, an outraged citizen complains to one of the 7 named democrats, who then--in dazed stupor objects to the health bill. And it's all talk radio's fault, the author deduces.
