Sportstalk contributes to culture today via Nascar/Obama reference
Short phrases in media can be manipulated and taken to the moon. Dissecting unscripted comments made on radio is a multi-million dollar tax exempt business today. That isn't the case with this blog. I only mention what I heard today as a cultural event.
- A sportstalker on 1010AM in Tampa this afternoon (sometime between 3:32-3:38pm) was making timely chatter with his co-host and meant no harm. It was just an example of a reference that repeated often enough takes on a life of its own. Such as having a journalism elite use it as proof that special "hate" beats must now be created.
- This may be completely true, perhaps they canceled due to security concerns. I only mention it because the idea of Obama being a target-in particular on the part of those traditionally considered Nascar fans-is one that will be latched onto by some people.
- Not to say the sportstalker was right or wrong, just an example of how unfortunate images are sometimes woven by brief mentions in mass media.
