4. that's why I posted this
they just ran a story about the SS guy who took a bullet for Reagan

very heartwarming

the entire bit I heard was all Reagan puffery

listened for about a minute; all I could take

this is definitely not the first time I've heard this

I think they go with fresh news on weekends, but piped in from some source which they obviously don't monitor for content

NOW, the same Randi Rhodes rerun.....third time I've heard it since Friday: meeting Anderson Cooper. why don't they try different shows?

I've also heard the same Majority Report twice this weekend

don't get me wrong....I'm buying Sirius radio this week; or is it the other one.....the one that plays the entire schedule

3. This would support the contention that Air America is really....
....radio DLC. Still waiting for the liberal radio network, I guess :(

they had Chomsky on majority report

Amy Goodman, too, ripping the heart out of mainstream media

did you see CSPAN tonight, btw?

she was fantastic on Brian Lamb

my 108 year old Grandmother, who LOVES Reagan and Booosh, thought she was fabulous

9. They had CHOMSKY?? Wow.
I heard Amy was coming up, but I had to leave for a while. I just bought Sirius a week ago. I've already written them telling them that they should carry DemocracyNow and play it several times a day.
