NewsTalk 1200 WXIT is a favorite of upscale, educated, involved people. Listen live to Roten in the Morning, The Sports Page with Jeff Fancher, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, and more....and you air programming from a fella who says things like this...
Rush Limbaugh revived his claims about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's so-called "testicle lockbox," stating: "Clinton's testicle lockbox is big enough for the entire Democrat hierarchy, not just some people in the media. ... Her lockbox, her testicle lockbox can handle everybody in the Democrat hierarchy." Limbaugh later claimed that Clinton "reminds men of the worst characteristics of women they've encountered over their life: totally controlling, not soft and cuddly. Not sympathetic. Not patient. Not understanding. Demanding, domineering, Nurse Ratched kind of thing."
...then exactly which upscale, educated demographic are you appealing to? We wonder how many women-owned businesses sponsor Limbaugh's show. We'll take a listen, and give you a full list of all local businesses who sponsor this hateful little man's show. Just so we can check our facts, or something.

Calling me out, huh :)
Actually, Medved hasn't been on the station in months. He was replaced with Sean in-Annity. I guess WXIT's owners have been so busy consolidating all that media power they forgot to update their lil website. They really DO want the local populace dumbed down!
And as I've said, there are no real sponsors on WXIT. It's a bunch of PSA filler type spots.
I always enjoy your cut-n-paste posts featuring content from media matters. How else could you slam a radio station you don't actually listen to? Easy work, that.
the post is not about medved, it is about limbaugh, you can't negate the argument by pointing to some unrelated factoid...
why do the owners of these stations insist on requiring progressive shows to have local sponsors, when they do not require the same of their conservative shows?
your response?
Oh, great! WXIT and WATA offer their own racist and sexist shows on the public airwaves for free. Lucky us. Wait a second, doesn't that mean that they are subsidizing racism and sexism then?
Whoever that person is who tries to defend these radio stations is--your totally missing the point. These radio stations have a responsibility to air responsible content because the airwaves are public
somebody at these local stations needs to get a grip: look at these trends.

why cant these guys spot a trend, with asu and the recent local elections? jeez
Geez ... Democracy Now!, Humor Never!
If you want to find media content to fit your self-defined viewpoint of the world, you can find it - iTunes podcasts, Clinton-funded media matters-type sites, NPR programming, etc.
I don't "defend" WXIT. I'm just amused that some people got together to create a website that amuses itself by bashing a collection of radio stations none of you actually listen to.
several of us got together to listen to rush today on wxit 1200 am (all three delightful hours)...you may want to follow your own advice and listen to wxit (just like we did)--because it was NOT all psa's. stay tuned for the list of businesses with spots on today's show.
troll, here's a challenge for you: please make a list of all the hateful, racist programming that you hear on npr...we'll wait for your list.
remember, these posts are about a local media monopoly, that for whatever reason, thinks it's a good idea to air racist and hateful programming, as evidenced by the media matters transcripts and audio of each incident that is documented on this site.
as for humor, here ya go ;-)
Me troll!
Off the top of head, Gene Simmons on Fresh Air was once rather crude. That show could be considered grossly sexist. And the Tavis Smiley show once featured guests agreeing that Colin Powell was a - how did Belafonte put it? - 'house slave.' So there's racist.
Again, that's off the top of my head of what I actually heard on-air. I don't catalogue such moments. I also don't frequent NPR as much as I once did (hence, the dated examples).
I guess I could run around to some anti-NPR site and get ginned up over whatever said site would "report" NPR said, but I see little point in doing so. I enjoy free speech too much.
btw ... not sure why I'm being called out "defending" the local monopoly. That monopoly has killed what was once a fun local radio market. I enjoy the perspective here, which is why I "troll" by.
