Weekend Video Salon: Pesky Questions Edition

Will Boone's Aisling Broadcasting ever realize that other kinds of political talk radio exist? Perhaps one day they will. Think for a minute--Boone is a college town. Boone has overwhelmingly supported progressive candidates for political office. Boone is a haven for socially tolerant people. Boone is a recognized leader in the development of alternative energy solutions. These are all strong indicators of the existence of a forward-looking population.

But there is no progressive radio programming offered by Aisling in Boone. Why?

Here is Thom Hartmann doing his show live on the radio and on C-SPAN--discussing the odd level of secrecy Bush has insisted on regarding his plans for the continuity of government in an "emergency".

Aisling may be interested to know that Thom beats Rush in many markets where they go head to head. We're just sayin'. Enjoy!

Is it the owners? Do they use the radio station for their own personal, political agenda? I know we live in the so-called "bible belt" but yes it does not make sense that this radio station still exists. Their accompanying website is full of their listeners who just repeat what is told to them over the radio. It is a shame that we don't have any honest, neutral, journalistic type people who are able and willing to put more progressive radio on the air so that the truth can be spread instead of biased misinformation.
