Clear Channel Radio Thinks 'The Daily Caller' is News!

[BlueStreak]

Clear Channel has been buying up such stations and filling them with sycophant disc jocks. This has happened to the local major rock station, WNOR 98.7. The morning talk is loaded full of anti-Democratic wisecracks and innuendo.

Except opinion is not testable for truth/falsity. How steep is steep? How enormous is enormous? I call it a smear because it hits Hillary with negative opinion under color of 'news.'

Last night I had an interesting conversation with our automation programmer;

Me; "On this infeed we need to have a low speed start here for the prime, then a ramp to high speed photo eye right about here."

Him; "Actually, what I'm gonna do is have a high speed here and a high-high speed there."



I thought the college educated were supposed to be smart?

Don't listen to morning wise-ass shows. Maybe I'll sample WTUE's to see if they've gone that route....

After it's installed and seen to work poorly, you'll have to do some 'maintenance' on the 'malfunctioning' equipment.

You might view it as 'correcting setup parameters,' but that's a matter of opinion.

Bullshit...it doesn't have to be false to be a smear. It can be perfectly true and simply sopping with innuendo and cynicism (see below).

The political sense usually implies falsity.

If you plan to vote for Hillary, suggest you boycott Clear Channel.

Clear channel owns 30% of the US radio market so it would be hard to avoid them. They also own something like 700 electronic billboards.

They have some pretty heavy handed influence.

But that's what capitalism and our political system is all about. Making sure folks believe the reality you want them to believe and owning the real estate to back up that reality.

Akin to our local broadcast news. Three of the four local stations are all owned by the same big broadcasting conglomerate and in fact show the exact same news broadcast. Even our local paper is owned by some RW outfit in Georgia, and they go wayyyy out of their way to silence any left wing opinions.

Bottom line is you can't believe anything you read see or hear as it's all propaganda meant to deceive.
