3. Oh for crying out loud!
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 12:35 PM by salvorhardin
It's a radio network, and a badly run one at that. It sucks that they've axed all those people you mentioned (and I agree, they were the most entertaining) but come on. It's a business, not the holy freaking liberal saviour.

If you don't like how AAR does things, then take the bull by the horn and start a blog, or a podcast or get involved with local community run cable access, low power FM or your local college radio station. Never has there been a time such as now when the people can truly take over the media. You're never going to reach the yokels who prefer to be spoonfed their information from Fox News anyway so a nationally syndicated liberal radio network is worthless for that demographic which means AAR is mostly preaching to the choir anyway.

If you don't have the time or energy to do it yourself, then financially support projects like Head-On Radio Network that are out there doing it. I don't vouch for them, I don't even listen to them, but offer them as just 1 example of people who aren't playing the victim and actually doing something.
