The reason I date breaks from Levin is it can be depressing listening to how the country is coming apart.

Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostOther radio stations are based off voluntary support of their sponsors. NPR uses tax dollars instead of ratings. It doesn't matter how slanted left they are, how little anyone listens to them, they will continue to exist and pay their hosts whatever they like because cutting NPR from the taxpayer teat turns the liberals inside out. There is no constitutional mandate for their existence but you demand they actually exist based on their skills and you're trying to behead Big Bird while skull fucking Bert. Same with removing public funding from Sesame Street.

Anyone that advertises on a radio station has customers, those customers pay for the advertising of the company. So in turn he's paying for a radio station that he doesn't even listen to. The only difference is the institution that the money is coming from. I wonder if Jim realizes that more than 75% of NPR's funding doesn't come from the government.
I'm not even going to entertain his "unconstitutional" argument, as his presuppositions won't allow him to have a rational conversation on the topic.

I have to laugh. He just explained why he calls Sean Hannity "wall banger." He says, it's because before radio he hung drywall. Then he goes on to say, "What makes him think hanging drywall qualifies him to be on radio. Now, I'm not a fan of Hannity myself, he pounds and pounds on the same shit day after day, talking points non-stop. But let's look at the facts:
He has nearly 3x the audience you do? I think the question should be what makes you think a doctorate in nutritional ethnomedicine makes you qualified to be a radio host? Because a guy who hung drywall is whooping your ass? He's such a conniving bitter man."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

A lot of the material they cover you can't find on typical media outlets, or the time expended would far exceed what is available. I consider the perspectives of the hosts, and usually you'll hear 3 different ones throughout the day. It's also quite educational, depending on the host."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
