Listening to WJ now...."Active duty" callers only...
C'mon...some of these callers are about as "active duty" as my freakin' grandma. Who's screening these freepers anyway? :eyes:

1. This is starting to be scary.
WJ has gone over to the dark side. They routinely prohibit one side of the debate (almost always our side) and have become a mouthpiece for the administration. It's clear that whoever decides on the programing is taking orders from the WH.

5. Did they always have one sided debate?
I haven't been watching that long.

8. It used to be more subtle - after GOP takeover in 95 they really showed
which side they were rooting for. Post 9-11 they dropped all pretense.

3. I was slow to catch onto their techniques
Edited on Thu Feb-15-07 10:28 AM by goclark
but I've noticed that the prime time guests are usually Republican and rarely do I see Democrats at 7 am.

Rarely do they screen their callers -- I've heard that there is a Rethug phone bank in VA that pays people to call into CSPAN.

That's when I turned them out.
