One of the things that's obviously under-appreciated about right-wing radio and television is the way hosts wield this awesome variety of artful metap...

Not much was known about the University. What is clear is that the University is responsible for much of the research data that the modern Republican party user.

I know for sure that Obama's speech on health care was good because Rush Limbaugh thought it was "disgusting, reprehensible, embarrassing, petulant, divisive and crude."

What if conservatives take over the Congress and the presidency in the future? Do you want to set a precedent for federal control over talk radio and eventually television and the Internet as well?
Tom Sullivan | Posted 11.12.2009 | Politics
Conservatives bathed in daily lies -- from WMDs to "death panels" -- have become so comfortable spreading them that they treat it like good, clean fun for the whole family.

Via ThinkProgress comes the news that San Francisco radio station 910 KNEW has dropped conservative talk-show host Michael Savage from its lineup. KN...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but none of this is in any way connected to reality. Lloyd is no czar, any more than any of the other "czars" targeted by Beck's Bad Boys are "czars."

We need a third political movement in this country -- not today's ideological right or left, who pander to idiots, but a group of radical centrists who step past their initial ignorance, fear, and prejudice, and actually think through solutions to our problems, borrowing ideas from all sides.

We should talk about pulling local radio-station licenses, plus other effective and practical measures of attacking the real problem -- the right-wing media malice machine.

No paranoid fantasy seems too bizarre, too implausible, or too disconnected from consensual reality to find a credulous audience among right wing true believers.

There is a difference between shouting on the street corner and broadcasting all over the country.

No matter what progressive issue you pick, conservatives are working to turn it into nothing less than sedition, carried out by an illegal president. The conservative media is their megaphone.

Finally, we have an extreme right-wing personality making the rounds in the corporate media who tears down the facade of "legitimacy" the Far Right bestows upon its craziest enthusiasts.

The New Yorker's soft-pedaling of Savage, as well as the larger unhinged right-wing movement to demonize and dehumanize Obama, is just embarrassing.

When CNN's Big Lou Dobbs recently went off the deep end, did he also drain the press (as well as the swimming) pool?

Republicans' private embraces are often in complete contradistinction with their own oft-trumpeted, Biblically-mandated "moral" guidelines for the rest of us.

Media Matters doesn't seem too intimidated by Savage, and given the fact that he doesn't seem to have any courageous convictions, it's pretty easy to see why.

I'm having a hard time discerning the logic behind talk-radio host Michael Savage's recent threat to post pictures and "pertinent information" about the people who work for Media Matters.
