Leave it to dj to give us Linda Stasi as a source of meaningful political commentary.

Y'know...the howling from the right-wingjobs about this, and the previous howling about Rather considering the hourly lies that come out of the right-wingjob media is confirmation about which is actual news media. If Hannity & Co didn't lie what good would they be as far as entertainment goes?

All news/data is biased. The trick is to remove bias and look upon it without bias.

Less and less true of the first two. The right wing propaganda machine is trying to buy control of NPR and PBS. Just yesterday heard a blurb saying that an outfit called 'values.com' was sponsoring the news on WNKU, a public radio station dominate around here in the adult contempoary format. What the heck is values.com? I wondered. So did a bit of searching.

Found values.com is a 'non-partisan' media outlet working to promote 'good values.' It's a effort of the Foundation for a Better Life, which is funded by the Anschutz Foundation. And the Anschutz Foundation is the creation of Philip Anschutz, "an entrepreneur with a net worth of $11.2 billion, as of January 2015.[1] He is 'a radical faith based political activist, a man who uses his vast fortune in attempts to advance an anti-homosexual and anti-science (specifically evolution) agenda,' according to SB Nation." link Anschutz also owns conservative agitprop outlet "The Weekly Standard," according to Wilipedia.

Today I learned that WNKU has just hired a new general manager. He comes from commercial radio, has been running 107 Rock in Scranton, PA. 107 Rock is owned by Times-Shamrock Communications, the media company of the Lynett-Haggerty family. The family has Jesuit ties, with CEO George Lynett Jr serving on the board of trustees of the Jesuit University of Scranton.

Whatever all that may mean....
