Advertisers should "shut down"

[Intense]

Capitalists have every right to squelch freedom of speech in their corporate media.

We happen to be Human Beings first. Human Beings that do not appreciate your dictates shoved down our throats. Keep with the censorship spin. Hopefully those still capable of reason will still continue to get by without you spoon feeding us, what you think we should be told.

Huh? Are you saying that provate corporations should make their decisions on what to show/air based on what you want or what makes them money?

that is the way broadcasters make their money, thru selling advertisements.

I personally think a metered pay as you go TV system would be better.

They make their decisions based on what people watch. Grow up.

Ahh you must have sobered up since last night.

Acrually it is that and what advertisers will support.

I see you are batting Zero again. Talk show hosts don't make their listeners do anything.

The only reason talk show hosts can earn a living as talk show hosts is because they are paid by advertisers who DO believe they can make listeners do something.

Why do you people believe that an advertisement can get a person to buy a
product, but you don't believe that a talk show host can influence anyone to do anything?

To be honest, people are smart enough to figure out what is pure bullshit and what isn't. You need to let them decide for themselves. Liberals are afraid of this simple concept. The worst thing a person living in denial can imagine is facing a truth they won't accept.

People are? Are you daft? Look at the CRAP that is advertised around talk radio. CRAP that obviously gullible and stupid people are buying because they ARE NOT smart enough to figure out what is 'pure bullshit' and what isn't.

And obviously, that gullibility can easily translate into people believing the bullshit that is being spewed out by the shows themselves.
