2. First of all, this is from October.

Second of all, if I recall this was pretty effectively debunked by one or more DUers who worked in the radio industry.

5. It isn't a matter of not believing them.

Geez, touchy. I just seem to recall that someone here who worked in radio saying that this sort of thing was not unusual for a radio station. I don't know if he was right. The thread was ages ago. I'm not dissing MediaMatters. They're a great site.

6. I heard Thom Hartmann discussing this way back when this was news....

... and he seemed to think it's no big deal. He said ALL political talk shows have lists of advertisers that don't want their ads to appear on programs that might have content considered controversial.

He claimed that similar lists existed for Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly and all the rest.
