1. good for Al

I knew they wouldn't let that go without rebuttal.

16. Yep

Speaking as one.
I couldn't access my C-drive...no problem.
I couldn't access my MSN messenger...no problem.
I couldn't access my media player...thereby not being able to listen to AAR, I reformatted this puppy.

5. The LA Times needs to give space to that rebuttle.

The guy's claims are just factually incorrect (or "lies", for those people in the reality-based community).

8. Good Man!

Kick the sh*t out of that right-wing hack!

[kaitykaity]

9. Franken was rebutting it line by line.

What I caught was beautiful.

For example: "How can he say we have bad ratings in
LA? We haven't been on the air in LA long enough to
have ratings yet."

10. Good! Now maybe the undercover freepers here will...

shut the fuck up! :mad:

11. Lib'rul Monoculchurr

"Story" is the operative word here, as in bed-time story for the freeper kiddies.. Brian C. Anderson, aka "!@#!@# Hack" is just stirring up controversy for his book, check out the italics at the bottom of the article:

Brian C. Anderson is senior editor of City Journal and author of "South Park Conservatives: The Revolt Against Liberal Media Bias," newly released from Regnery.

He's got the correct writing style for the South Park conservatives..whatever the hell that demographic means...

Sure, talk radio is partisan, sometimes overheated. But it's also a source of argument and information. Together with Fox News and the blogosphere, it has given the right a chance to break through the liberal monoculture and be heard. For that, anyone who supports spirited public debate should be grateful.

Ahh a source of argument AND information. Did this guy flunk basic English Composition?

The best is when he resorts to arguments like "its downright silly" :

To claim that "diversity of view" is lacking in the era of blogs and cable news, moreover, is downright silly.

Hack!

12. Good poll at the bottom of the LA Times Page
