Corporations have done an excellent job of killing AM radio. When all you can hear on AM stations are right-wing blowhards, you are being misled and misinformed. I remember when the AM dial was free of stations broadcasting politics. There were talk shows, but usually, they avoided political discussions. Now, they hire blowhards to host political talk shows. And it is only in one direction. The blowhards do the talking, and if you disagree with their right-wing opinion, your opinion will not be welcome. I recall when Larry King had one of these right-wing liars on. I called to rebut the lies he was saying and found myself shut down. In the control booth, they shut me off. A machine that was supposed to prevent obscenity from going over the air was used to shut me up. That was when I stopped listening to Larry King.
I am sure if Comcast and Time Warner get control of the web, they will kill Net Neutrality. How they will promote Right Wing agendas, I do not know, but I am sure they will. The question then remains; how do we combat this?
I know that when this happens, I will save money by cutting myself free from the Internet. I will use other means to get my information. Mike Malloy may still be on the air, or on Progressive Voices. I do not know. MSNBC might still preach the Liberal line; I do not know.
If possible, this blog will continue. Here, I will present current information and attempt to try to keep this line open. I am reminded of the prophet who despaired because he thought his message was not being heard. God assured him he was being heard. I am certain capitalism is a cancer and will poison itself and die. Malloy has a term for it. It does not come directly to mind, but it will kill itself. Karl Marx said that raw capitalism would hang itself by the rope it sold.
Blogs and letter writing could and should keep Liberals going. It is going to be a fight.
