AAR - Ed Schultz on now, called Gannon's school

[Duer 157099]

Is anyone listening to this? He's on the phone right now with the place that Gannon got his credentials. Missed the beginning.

[xultar]

1. Ed isn't on AAR. n/t

[Duer 157099]

4. oh, huh.

But he's always talking about AAR, and he's on the station here that carries AAR... but I never saw him on AAR's website so I didn't really know how he fit in.

hmmm...

[blondeatlast]

19. He's syndicated by Jones Radio.

He's on a lot of AAR outlets, like mine, but not at all affiliated with AAR.

He does prop them up, though.

[Oreo]

5. He kinda is in some places

He's produced by Jones Radio Network but a lot of AAR affiliates air him. I listen on both XM and the Minneapolis AAR station

[xultar]

27. But he isn't on AAR. His programming nor his paycheck come from

AAR.
Station owners can purchase AAR programming ala Carte. They also purchase other programming ala Carte.

I know I'm being a whiney bitch.

[zann725]

45. He's on the AAR channel in Los Angeles 12-3, I think.

I have to turn it off when he's on, and listen to AAR on-line instead to hear Randi. (The programming schedules are different.)

[Oreo]

2. She said the classes range from

3 hours to a full week. Admitted being a conservative news training company.

http://www.leadershipinstitute.org

He's digging for info. She's saying they've trained people that work at NBC and FOX.

Any way we can get a list of who's attended? This could be another thing that could bring out some more skeletons.

[Duer 157099]

7. did she know she was on the radio?

I missed the beginning of the call. She was very forthcoming, very proud of the organization, almost clueless to what's been going on (boy they sure train 'em to be aware of stuff huh?)

[SheepyMcSheepster]

32. no she didn't

ed made a point of telling the listeners that in north dakota where he is it is legal to tape or eaves drop on a phone conversation as long as 1 party is aware that is happening.

[Duer 157099]

42. Wow! I didn't realize that.

Ed's show just gained back what he lost from me because he talks about sports too much. But knowing he can make phone calls like that, gives him lots of potential for... interesting radio.

[Kelvin Mace]

8. Probably not

It's not a public institution.

[CatWoman]

3. i just tuned in

[ohtransplant]

6. That was pretty good.

He got their web address before the end of the call.

This from their web site;

"The Leadership Institute is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation.

It does not support, endorse or oppose candidates or proposed legislation. The Leadership Institute does not discriminate with respect to race, color,religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, or partisan affiliation. The Leadership Institute has an open admission policy, all programs are open to the public."


Note: Political activity could endanger their 501 (c)(3) status

They're so proud of their loose connections to Novak and Faux News.

[MissMarple]

35. LOL, and here's their mission statement.

"The Leadership Institute's mission is to identify, recruit, train, and place conservatives in politics, government, and media."

And they have a video that claims to tell us what the liberals really think.

[Greyskye]

36. Can you link to the video?

I've just crawled through their site but didn't see anything that looked like you described. Thanks!

[MissMarple]

38. I think you have to purchase it.

They're "conservatives", so I guess they don't give anything away for free. :D

[cosmicdot]

39. link to view trailers/script

"...the documentary the left doesn't want you to see."

:crazy:


http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/04RESOURCES/RootsLeft.htm

Roots of the Ultra Left

The Roots of the Ultra Left is an in-depth look at 35 things the ultra left really thinks. From Socialism to Communism, from economic and religious oppression to the elimination individual freedoms -- they say it’s all for the common good, but the ultra left’s sordid history tells a different tale. It's the documentary the left doesn't want you to see. It’s the documenatry you can’t afford to miss.

"Sometimes, for tactical reasons, they conceal what they think and what they want. Often, though, they write or say what they really
think and really want. And sometimes those thoughts appear in what they write and say in public."

[MissMarple]

40. Thanks!

:hi:

[BlueEyedSon]

9. Yeah, $50 journalism diploma mill.

[Purveyor]

10. I just heard it...

Walked into the middle of the call and thought it was a joke at first.



I love the Ed Schultz show so far. We just now this past week have been able to listen to his show. Rhandi Rhondes was bumped.

[Duer 157099]

11. Ed is on here from noon to 3, then Randi at 3

works for me!

[xultar]

12. They are buying AAR programming ala Carte. No Biggie. n/t

[LittleClarkie]

18. Ed and Randi compete on two different stations in my market

Ed's station comes in better than Randi's most days, so I end up with him. Anything is better that the local idiot.

[blondeatlast]

28. Two moderate/progressive stations? Oh, how I envy you...

In Phonix Jones and AAR share one.

[LittleClarkie]

30. Yeah, but to get the Randi station to come in

I have to do a moon dance, and then wave a bag with a chicken in it over my head three times while going "scraw! scraw!"

I don't get to hear her much.

[Roxy66]

14. where are you?

[jean]

33. Ed says his show is the fastest growing one on liberal talk radio

don't know if that' s hype or true - says he's grown to 70 markets in just one year...

[blondeatlast]

37. It's syndicated by Jones Radio; I suspect it's true.

He has the blue collar appeal that goes well on talk formats.

[blondeatlast]

13. Don't be surprised if Ed signs Ed, Jr. up for it.

Seriously. I was laughing like a fool in the car.

You either love Ed or hate him--I love him, even if he's a bit too moderate for my taste.

[RamboLiberal]

16. Did you catch her say No-Facts Novak or his people have

lectured there?

[blondeatlast]

17. Yes! Like it was a point of pride!

Remember, DUers, ask for INEZ...

[RamboLiberal]

26. Ed said Ding Ding Ding Ding on Plame leak

That Gannon was given the CIA memo and Novak lectures at that school!

[Oreo]

15. They run ConservativeJobs.com

http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/CJ/

Look at the job listings... http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/CJ/JobSeeker/search.cfm?page=position-results&CFID=88197&CFTOKEN=94542030

[R3dD0g]

20. Looked at the listings for Arkansas

They're all at the local ABC affiliate, KATV.

I had a big falling out with them 4 yrs ago when they endorsed *. Haven't watched them since. Back then they were the market leader, after the endorsement they slipped and are now neck & neck with CBS affiliate.

Nice to know that KATV will be getting 'experienced' newspeople.

[blondeatlast]

22. Just think of the fun you can have challenging their misinformation

and their journalistic "credentials," though!

:evilgrin:

Remember, if you call LI, ask for Inez...

[KoKo]

21. Schultz asks where do they get their funding? $50. doesn't cover it.....

He says it's trained them all! :D Norquists name on Board. Caller says this is the whole group if we can get them we can expose them all.

Shultz also saying why was FAA Report released AFTER Condi was confirmed.

[KoKo]

23. Conyers and Slaughter asking for Special Prosecutor for Plamegate!

I hadn't heard that...Great news..

[blondeatlast]

24. Damn, I've got no stream today.

Would be much obliged if you could give us an overview of the show.

[KoKo]

25. I had to use my portable radio to hear it. Ed said this Gannon thing

should be a "wake up call" for all America. He says where are Jennings and Rather on this....He says a news story should be "interesting" and it's "interesting" how organized the Right Wing is.

[cosmicdot]

31. funding sources

I'm assuming that records prior to 1986 are not available ... the 1st Foundation grants show up from The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Inc. http://www.mediatransparency.org/funders/bradley_foundation.htm
"the country's largest and most influential right-wing foundation"


using http://www.mediatransparency.org 's Fundometer
link http://www.mediatransparency.org/fundometer.php

found about 1/2 way down the right margin of the homepage ...

2 group names come up when searching
http://www.leadershipinstitute.org/

The Leadership Institute, of course; plus, something simply "US" whose funding is linked to the Scaife Foundation ... no information provided for "US"


The Leadership Institute

** As of 2/6/04 - 109 ** The Leadership Institute was founded in 1979 as a non-partisan, non-profit, educational foundation. It is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, and neither supports nor opposes candidates or proposed legislation.

[EST]

43. It appears as though

their 501(c)(3) status should be protested/investigated.

[RadiDem]

29. I'd like to call PimpBoy's 'church'

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that they didn't see him last Sunday.

[alphafemale]

41. That was Great! nt

[CatholicEdHead]

44. I heard it

streaming this afternoon (no Ed on the airwaves here). I was laughing so hard it was SO good. This has to be one of his best shows and I have been listening since Feb or March of last year (national show, former local show before that).

I wonder what the expressions of Team Fargo were at the studio while this was going on. Had to be pretty good.

[KoKo]

46. Good Grief! Ed Schultz seems to be the only "Airwaves Media" touching

this today....!!!
