Lest you have any doubt about a "vast right-wing conspiracy" read this!
As most of you know the "Guy James Show" originates from the studios of WINK 1240AM in Ft. Myers, Florida and 1270AM Naples, Florida. They are owned by Meridian Broadcasting Company.

The morning show (6 to 9am) host has been replaced with a flaming right-winger who offers up her credentials as a conservative every five minutes. She is joined by a whacked out Right-Wing co-host who is the most vile, hateful broadcaster I've ever heard on the air.

This all started about a week ago when they let the morning guy go because he wouldn't conform to their new rules. They brought in a consultant who says they will market themselves as a Right-Wing conservative radio station. The morning guy was told that if he had any liberal opinions to keep them to himself because their audience is conservative and they don't want to offend them. I guess its to hell with those in the community who are not Right-Wingers. They run Right-Wing programs 24/7 thru the week.

Folks, this is going on all over America. Liberals are being shut out of the media and the Right-Wing crazies are just getting stronger and stronger. We have to unite in a fight against this almost complete control of the media. They are destroying us in the media and we are just taking it and taking it and losing ground every day. Thats why it is so important for us to support our Liberal broadcasters. If we don't stop the bleeding soon it will be too late.

You should all e-mail and call the radio stations who stifle the Left and let them know we are out here by the millions and we will no longer stand for them to cater to only the Right. We have the power to change this problem but do we have the will to do it?

1. Don't freak out.
Tell everyone who will listen that the show is a Right-wing propoganda machine, and convince them to not listen to it. As more people are turned from Republican to Democrat (this is happening, and would have naturally anyway, politics usually works in cycles) the station will lose viewership and collapse on their own. This will happen even faster if someone starts a left-wing radio show, and by left-wing I don't mean catering to the democratic party, just reporting the facts and letting the people decide.

3. I've thought about this problem and I think the
only solution is going to be to try to buy back some of the stations that are being swallowed up. Also, do you know who the consultant's company was? I bet with a little googling you will find that they are affiliated with the Swiftboat Liars.
