  • Radio news and the voiceless left

    I'm now living just outside of Corpus Christi, Texas. It's disturbing too me that on the drive to work and home the only news sources I can find are NPR news and serious right-wing opinion shows that pass for news. I'm not saying that these people should not have a voice. It's just that the people on the shows offer no counterpoint and very little to support their opinions. Just yesterday the radio person refers to Kerry as "Senator Flip-Flopper" and Al Sharpton as "Not so Sharpton" then told us that these two people THOUGHT it was okay and WANTED everyone to be welfare waiting for government handouts and that these people WANTED to take money out of the radio audience pockets and give it to the people who were too lazy too work. I don't recall any of these men ever saying that!
    Then they went on to discuss Micheal Jackson. I'm not going to tell you what was said about him as I really don't care about him or the verdict. I will just point out that his case and Kobe Bryants case recieved more coverage and mention than Robert Blake's case in which a woman was murdered. Makes no sense.
    I will also concede that the left is not always right and the right is not always wrong but if there is no actual conversation on the issues then the truth will always have trouble coming to light.

    What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensation

            Feel free to start your own liberal radio station if you don't like it.

              I don't want to start a liberal radio station. I want the radio and tv stations we have to report news in an unbiased manner. I don't want propaganda. I want news!

                    Then feel free to start your own news channel. These radio shows exist because people want to listen to them, and so it's profitable to produce them.

                      No it doesn't!
                      Yes it does!
                      News can be spun into propaganda but it does not have to end up as propaganda.
                      When reporting who, where, when, and what you can just state the facts. You can also give opinion and counter opinion and it's still not propaganda.
                      It starts to become propaganda when you have stories with equal news value and you only report the one that will promote your PERSONAL agenda. Not the interest of the people. In america the FCC gives permission to radio stations to operate in the publics best interests. It's not in the publics best interest for these stations to attempt to brainwash the masses. So if I become aware that one of these stations charter is under review I will protest.

                        I never said what news could be, I merely stated what it is.

                          I agree with the OP. We need a real liberal voice in talk radio; TV and the print media just aren't enough.
