I just LOVE Laura Flanders

[upi402]

What a gem we have. Too bad my local Air America station plays college football and gardening on weekends. There is so much we need to hear why are they airing still more distractionary pap?

Anyway, Laura had Tariq Ali on, talking at length about the anti neo-liberalism movement. (anti corporatist)
He was a wealth of information and said that Chomsky's book went to #1 on Amazon and later NYT bestseller list.

1. She's got the most balanced show on Progressive Radio

By balanced I mean that she's laid back and never "rants" while bringing up all of the tough political questions of the day. Her accent doesn't hurt either.

2. me too. the very best. you heard her ask people to PLEASE call

and/or write stations, thanking them for carrying her show, or asking them to carry her show?

PLEASE call! PLEASE everyone, call!!

progressive radio is under fire, and we NEED them! and they deserve our support!
especially laura's show!


thank you! recommended...


peace!

[upi402]

3. I'll call or email

Despite the sense I have that my local AAR station is trying to wither the audience. I really can't see how their programming decisions are helping.


<on edit> I did email them. Thanks.

4. thank you! for this thread and for emailing! please pass the word!

do you get the feeling that the change in focus to being "laura flanders radionation" might be to protect them from the rough time airamerica is having?
i hope so.
laura was a pro before airamerica.

maybe she and others will reconstruct airamerica, or something.

i'm so pleased you emailed!


peace!

6. nova M radio - new terrestrial radio for libs

http://www.novamradio.com/thankyou.php?

Good team starting anew. The founders of Air America, which I dearly love and support every way I can, are starting another one.
Sheldon Drobny, CFO
Anita Drobny, President
Michael Newcomb, MD CEO and Chairman
Joe Trippi
John Zogby

I guess if AAR makes a fatal error there is still hope for free truth.

7. whew, even just knowing that, helps a little. thanks for the lift of

that info!

i just hope they, and others, get it about laura's gifts to the airwaves.
she is clearly worried.

i've loved and supported-as-possible AAR, but from early on there was all that mystery and insecurity.

[nofurylike]

11. Wish I could take credit

But it was on a bumper sticker.
I laughed and couldn't get it out of my mind.

There are some real righties where I live, though it's generally considered blue. It's reassuring to see those bumper stickers in the sea of yellow ribbons, flags, and W stickers.

[nofurylike]

12. i think you've introduced me to my new bumper sticker. i'm still

laughing

well, also kind of dreamy at the thought of them outa here
mmmh....

[longship]

13. Mike Malloy will be Nova M Radio's headliner

That's the best news of all.

[pberq]

5. Yes - she is great

[nofurylike]

10. it cheered me to hear what tariq ali was saying, too. brilliant,

both laura and him!

the very truths they are trying to hide behind that "distractionary pap" (i like that phrase)!

[tblue]

14. She's downright brilliant. I love her analyses at the start of her show.

[nofurylike]

15. me too! best ever, imho. eom
