Uh, MC Mike?

In hip-hop parlance, you're now R_xush Limbaugh's bitch.

I'm happy with that.  ;)

Fact Following Fiction?

Synchronicity.

I already talked about the strange alliteration of the McCain't campaign (legally) using a tune by (disgruntled) copyright holders, but this one trumphs that. Oddly enough, after seeing the 30-minute Barackumentary last night, I decided to dig out some old VHS tapes I had made, off-the-air of The West Wing's last season.

Dang.

Yesss!

Thank you MSNBC, and congratulations, Rachel!

I got drunk, and saw the white smoke from the chimney.

New host of Press The Meat. Betcha!

Could this PR photo be any creepier? I think not.

I guess people may have various reasons why they don't want Barack Obama to win the nomination. But there's one reason that wins out. If he wins it'll be years before Chris Matthews shuts up about Obama being a man of Third World.

Time to vote Tweety off the island.

Hey, cabloid assholes, whose ratings are tanking! Lissen up!

Want to increase your share? Get with the program, and quit purposely trying to piss off about 70% of Americans on a daily basis. Those droolcups who watch O'Reilly aren't going to switch, and they have one foot in the grave, demographically, so quit being pantywaists (leave that to many of the Dems in Congress), and buck the fuck up.

Brain and Brain! What Is Brain?

Yes, Spocko is bringin' the poisoned quatro-triticale to wingnut radio station KSFO. And Disney gorged on it. And I've fixed his 'roll link.

Good to see the EFF takin' up for the good guys, again.

IMPORTANT: FCC MEETING DETAILS Mon 12/11 @ Belmont U

From Litz:

Folks:

Nashville is one of only a handful of cities selected to host an FCC public hearing on media consolidation and media ownership. As you know, corporate interests want to relax the rules over media ownership, allowing a corporation like Sinclair Broadcasting to own more stations in one market than FCC rules currently allow. Nashville was selected because of its importance from a music business/radio perspective, but there are plenty of us in Nashville frustrated over the corporate media's handling of news on our local television and newspaper outlets. Please consider attending this important hearing and possibly even speaking at it.

Thanks, LZ

FCC Will Hold Public Hearing on MONDAY at Belmont

The Federal Communications Commission will hold a public hearing in Nashville on Monday, Dec. 11, at the Massey Performing Arts Center at Belmont University, beginning at 1 p.m.

The hearing is open to the public and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. It is the second in a series of media ownership hearings the FCC will hold across the country regarding the impact of media deregulation, and is billed as the 2006 Quadrennial Broadcast Media Ownership Review.


There will be two panels, each followed by a period for public comment. The focus will be on how media consolidation of the past 10 years has affected localism and diversity in radio, television and print media. The first panel will examine issues affecting Music Row. (The second panel will provide an overview of the Nashville market and issues affecting broadcasters and independent programmers).

NSAI pro member Craig Wiseman will be part of the first panel discussion, which will last from 1 to 1:30, and others from the music community have been asked to give formal testimony.
Media consolidation has impacted the music business in many ways, including smaller playlists, less diversity, little local news or programming, few chances for breakout hits picked by a creative DJ, artists forced to play a certain venue because the parent company owns the local radio station, and in many other areas. This is an opportunity for our voice to be heard.
