This little rift with your wayward right-wing listener belies a larger problem with the media and politics and the strange bed-fellows scenario that's been recently uncovered.
We've learned in recent weeks that Armstrong Williams, a popular nationwide conservative radio talk show host, had been on the Bush administraion payrolls to the tune of $240,000.00 to advance the Bush education agenda publicly through his radio program and various TV news appearances. Who else do you think was on the Bush administration payroll to quietly influence the public? Rush Limbaugh? He doesn't need the money, but why not? Sean Hannity? Cal Thomas? ANY Fox News Channel pundit? Ann Coulter?
Ironically, it's the twisted relationship, a symbiosis between the republican party and the conservative talk radio hosts, that SHOULD have been giving the American public the CREEPS all along, frankly. It's very "Orwellian" (think "1984" and the government's use of it's media outlets fed directly into everyone's homes to push it's agenda on an unsuspecting brainwashed public), don't you think?
I listened to Moon Griffon, yesterday, rapidly go to a break that he could've held off on, but didn't when he had Rep. Bobby Jindal on his show. Why? Well, a caller put two VERY good questions at Jindal and apparently the conservative radio host didn't think his airtime was needed to hear the following two questions answered...
1. The caller asked Jindal for his assessment of Gov. Kathleen Blanco's first year in office.
2. The caller also asked, since Rep. Jindal broached the subject of the Ohio representatives stopping electoral vote count to cry foul over election irregularities in their state, if he would utter a peep if HIS district's heavey-republican base had to stand in lines outdoors in the cold past midnight just to be allowed to vote, and if those same constituents were given a lower supply of voting machines then in the previous election? Would Rep. Jindal stand up for HIS constituents the way the Ohio delegation did for theirs?
Moon went to break...not a required network news break that has to be met on time...just a break. And Jindal was gone.
Wake up America. Your country is being swiped out of your back pocket like a wallet by these politicians while you're distracted by the handshake of their radio co-horts in front of you.
