I'm old enough to remember that during the mig 1970s and even into the 80s and early 90s radio and tv stations were required to document on their license renewal applications efforts they were making to hire women and minorities in key roles. I was instructed to begin looking for an African American news announcer who "didn't sound black". And a woman announcer, probably for mid days or over nights. When I was doing traffic in the late 80s, I had a program manager on one of my affiliates tell me while I was doing a good job, he needed a woman so his "morning zoo" didn't sound like a homo club. He was right but at the time my "white male" ego was bruised. I was also probably too old for the format as while. It's been around for a while. One party just added it to their list of conservative media grievances.

When you elect a moron...

On March 7, 1876, 29-year-old Alexander Graham Bell receives a patent for his revolutionary new invention: the telephone. The Scottish-born Bell worked in London with his father, Melville Bell, who developed Visible Speech, a written system used to teach speaking to the deaf. In the 1870s, the Bells moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where the younger Bell found work as a teacher at the Pemberton Avenue School for the Deaf. He later married one of his students, Mabel Hubbard. 1936 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history

I wonder how many people who have cruise ship reservations for Friday morning are pissed off because their flight into Miami or Fort Lauderdale has either been cancelled or delayed til Friday.

Waiting for the announcement that Camp Peary will be turned into a theme park

It's now known as State Media to the current Administration

Small victories

Just remembering the immortal words from Nikita Khrushchev, "We will bury you" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you While Khrushchev was talking about Communism, Putin takes the phrase seriously with his Oligarch society. Or to quote the Borg Nation, "You will be assimilated" thanks to Trump and company

Dontcha just love it when these poor little rich boys who spent their entire lives enjoying daddy's money call other people parasites. Did these guys ever wear hand me down shirts and pants, go to school with their lunched wrapped in newspaper, use old bread bags inside their hand me down boots to keep them dry in the winter. Either walk to school or over a half mile to the bus stop. Hell did they ever ride a school bus? Who are the real parasites here. When did they ever pull themselves up by their bootstraps without having a servant or parent to help them

MTG and Backseat Bobbitt get to howl and heckle Biden with no repercussions. But let a black man stand up, all hell breaks loose among MAGA. Decorum in the House was lost the moment a Supreme Court Justice mouthed You Lie at a Black President

If only he would have thought of WIN buttons

They didn't want to be lectured by Carter to turn down the heat and wear a sweater during the oil embargo. The Iran hostage situation played a major role, especially with Nightline on ABC running special programming every night.

As long as the ratings and more importantly advertising $$$$ keep rolling in they really don't care.

You have to wonder what this mess is doing to recruiting

The government has been taken over by Russian Cartels.

Back when America was theoretically great. Take it back to these rates
