This format which has WLOB on Faux 23 allows them to have free air time for republican advertising. I don't see many Dem's on there, fortunately, but to have 3 hours a day just to promote reptilian views should be prosecutable. The airwaves belong to US folks. Bring back the fairness doctrine, if this is legal.

1. WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE BOOKS

Actually in their defense it probably is a profitable program and I believe they are bound by law to give some degree of balance.
But it does seem strange that you don't hear of any democrat or independent program.Makes you wonder if a grant or some other means of funding is being utilized.And if so why isn't the same being done for the other party?
One thing one must remember what you here should be taken with a shovel full of salt!
GO DEMOCRATS,TAKE THE HOUSE,TAKE THE SENATE-WE KNOW WE GOT THE BLAINE HOUSE!
WOODCOCKS FLY SOUTH IN NOV.!HA HA !

2. Yeah, well if you remember before this show there was another...
called "so goes the nation" with a dem, Alan and a reptile Charlie, but at least it was balanced with one from each side. This show is so one sided it should have a disclaimer that it is not meant to be fair or balanced.

4. IT SHOULD BE LABELED ENTERTAINMENT

It should be listed as entertainment as the host is simply stating his opinion. And if viewed in that context it cannot be sued. At least that has been "DRUGGIE FROM THE RIGHT"S DEFENSE" I'M talking about 'RUSH" .
These shows run on a format where they have complete control and funding for this one should be
checked out.
lets face it some people will do anything for money,fame etc.
so grin and bare it
was good to see some member of clergy besides a priest in the blogs today!
