As of Nov. 2009, Los Angeles lost KFWB leaving us with only one news station on the AM dial. What does KFWB now promote? Primarily the same right-wing Repug hate speech. They claim they love Jesus but the message is clear, kill Jews, kill immigrants, kill people who need medical care, kill poor people. The typical Republican mantra that if you don't have lot's of money you should be dead. Then in the next breath they claim that Republicans are the hardest working and most compassionate people on the planet. Yeah right. Republicans seem to think that killing people equates to compassion. And as far as just your duty to die if you get cancer, that's another Republican mantra. Here's the news for you lame retards, cancer doesn't discriminate. And from what I've seen, when a Repuglicken finds out a family member has cancer, they immediately calculate how much money they are going to get if the family member dies sooner than later. They are only compassionate about keeping Aunt Edna alive if they think her property or her stock options are going to rise in value. Unfortunately, in the latest market of the last 18 months, these same compassionate Repuglicking retards have been pulling the plug on their relatives because they are all about the money. SHAME on you Repuglickers. You are nothing but lickers of asses of the rich. And you are repugnant. You live on hate therefore you deserve the term Repuglickers. You are also Sore Loser-men. Another term you applied to liberals which really applies to you.

That brings us to the final lesson here: what passes for news in America. For the past 10 years, roughly since the idiotic O.J. Simpson trial, the language of marketing has entered American newsrooms like a badly targeted cruise missile. Talk of plot lines and demographics, sexiness and “water-cooler” appeal have polluted a mission that is protected by its own constitutional amendment. Celebrity journalists interview celebrity dimwits about their sex lives, while American foreign policy is left running on auto-pilot.

The hard truth is that the U.S. media left America as unprepared for these terrorist attacks as any Air Force general or CIA bureaucrat. As we dropped bombs on Iraq for 10 years running — justified or not — the U.S. media failed to report on it. Then suddenly, on Sept. 11, we think “We’re at war” when in fact there hasn’t been a day since the Gulf War ended when an American aircraft hasn’t locked onto a target with a missile or bomb. We were at war, it’s just that the media didn’t think it was interesting enough to tell you about it. That’s our lesson to learn. --Michael Moran
