Fine. Let's move on.<BR/><BR/>Salem Chairman Stuart Epperson and CEO Edward Astinger, III, have given thousands of dollars to the Republican Party and it's candidates over the years, and so has the Salem Communications Corporate PAC. Nothing wrong with that, really, but consider that the Bush Administration has virtually disemboweled the restrictions on ownership of media outlets enabling groups like Clear Channel and Salem to dominate the markets they are in and literally push out competitors. Can you say Media Monopoly?<BR/><BR/>By publishing falsehoods like the "article" in question, Salem attempts to vidicate the Bush Administration to it's audience, who will, (Salem hopes,) blindly support whoever Salem tells them to.<BR/><BR/>Regarding this article, it's like preaching to the converted. Bush fans simply want to believe that he's not a clueless dolt who lied to them. Salem gives this pack of lies to them, and like moths to a bright light, they flock in support to both Bush and Salem, never bothering to double-check the facts. Salem gets donations, the Salem PAC carves out a nice chunk for the Republicans and they in turn loosen the corporate restrictions on Salem who profits by being able to buy out, and silence, their competitors.<BR/><BR/>I never said Salem profited from the Uranium sale. In fact, Canada purchased the uranium directly from Iraq with the help of the United States. In re-reading my post I could have been more clear on that point. Sorry, I sometimes assume some of my readers are able to think for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Now, may I ask you why my reporting on Salem bothers you so much? And why you haven't mentioned anything about the fact that the article in question is filled with falsehoods?<BR/>If Salem ran a story claiming cancer could be eradicated by covering yourself in honey for two hours a day, would you double check it? Or would you automatically go out and buy 100 gallons of Sue B?<BR/><BR/>I notice you favor the "anonymous" style of discourse, which begs the question: Are you Epperson, Astinger or one of their employees?<BR/><BR/>Eagerly awaiting full disclosure,<BR/>M StyborskiM Styborskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339956662018964721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8622642716062476755.post-714906348960526632008-07-22T13:38:00.000-07:002008-07-22T13:38:00.000-07:00can you let me know how Salem profits from the tax...can you let me know how Salem profits from the tax dollars spent? How do they gain anything in writing about uranium? How does Salem make any money off this?

The rest is all Neo-Con, far right, holier-than-thou, religious fanatic, dumber-than-dirt, bullshit.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the real article IS all over the internet and here is one place you can read it:<BR/>http://calibre.mworld.com/m/m.w?lp=GetStory&id=312847181<BR/><BR/>You can also pay the AP $1.50 to see it, but since you're so incredibly stupid I thought I'd save you the six bits.<BR/><BR/>Game Over.
