If they're political, they're going to be slanted as hell at their market segment. Many of them rely entirely on partisan sensationalism and to hell with the facts. Southern Television chain - TV stations aligned with the thinking of the owners. LBJ owned dozens of stations and when he became PRESIDENT (not Senator) he gave the station chain to his daughter. He owned some TV. There are all sorts of owned TV and Radio chains that are of one party or another. It is a form of control of the air waves... Slant news and talk. Martin |

That would have been in violation of the rules at that time. I beleive the 7(AM)-7(FM)-7(TV) rule was still in place. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |
