1. No, and you will NEVER see this on TV.

Nobody has enough money to get it on TV. The people who run the media don't want this on TV. You will only see it on YouTube, and it will only be seen by the people who agree with it. Which, needless to say, makes it useless as propaganda.

They would do better printing a million flyers saying "Lou Dobs is a Racist" and distributing them throughout the United States.

3. Media Matters is doing good work

I think maybe I should contribute. That is after I finish getting out of my current debt hole...

6. YO MEDIA MATTERS!

a few things:

1. Try a vocal cardioid condenser microphone. It won't sound like it was made at radioshack.

2. Most recording software comes with a few different types of dynamic compression. Try -12dB, hard limit, 95% threshold, soft knee, normalized gain.

3. Put an 'air' screen between the announcer's mouth and a microphone.

4. Try a 'desser', it will take out those high pitched consonances at the end of words.

8. Well stated Gilles! It is without question of poor audio quality. I just can't understand how

someone, whose responsible for screening and approving such commercial ads finds this acceptable broadcast quality. It costs the same amount to broadcast schlock as it does to broadcast quality. Why can't they get it right the first time?
