we need to start a call in campaign against Hannity
I listened to Hannity yesterday and I could not believe how much misinfo and spin he gets away with. At least on FOX, Colmes does have a few minutes to point out some facts. On the radio, it's three hours of pure Bush propaganda.
He is a one man, corporate funded, RW 527 PAC

Bring up the rising poverty rate, the vast increases in healthcare costs, the federal debt, lower wages, higher costs and the transfer of OUR social security to the wealthy in the form of highly regressive income tax cuts. When he says 'largest quarter of economic growth', ask "for who".

1. He keeps repeating that 'largest quarter of economic growth' line
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 10:02 AM by charlie105
every single day. Wasn't that one quarter somewhere in 2003? Is that valid anymore? But then who dares ask him that. He has a 7-minute time delay on his broadcast and he censors anything that clashes with his spin.

2. RW Talk Radio = Unregulated "527s"
RW Radio must be "worth" to the GOP Billions of dollars in free campaign advertising.

3. I disagree that Colmes has a balancing role on FAUX
I think Colmes' role is to be a punching bag and thereby amplify Hannity's propaganda.

4. I listened for 3 minutes once
Three callers in a row thanked him for his service. Service? service for what? I was done after that.
