Was Buchanan's firing a violation of free speech?

WEDNESDAY 2/29/12- When conservative pundit Pat Buchanan was fired from MSNBC because of controversial comments about racial politics in his latest book Suicide of a Superpower, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement that Buchanan's views "aren't really appropriate for national dialogue, much less the dialogue on MSNBC." Unfortunately, this is not the first time MSNBC has publicly determined what constitutes appropriate dialogue for the nation.

From the archives: Max Baer of the Beverly Hillbillies

"Course Correction" at Fox News

WEDNESDAY 2/15/12- There have been grumbles among conservative activists that the Fox News Channel is no longer speaking for them as it once did. According to Poltico’s Keach Hagey, the grumblers are picking up on a strategy that has been under way for some time — a “course correction,” as Fox chief Roger Ailes put it last fall — with the network distancing itself from the tea party cheerleading that characterized the first two years of President Obama’s presidency. Lately, Fox has increasingly promoted its straight-news talent in the press and conducted some of the toughest interviews and debates of the Republican primary season.

Politics and money: it's winner take all

THURSDAY 2/9/12- The guilty party for income inequality is none of the usual suspects you hear about on talk radio and cable--such as globalization, changing technology, or disparities in education--but is America's money-addicted and change-resistant political system, and the super-rich who figured out how to make that system pad their wallets.

"Listen to the Music"

WEDNESDAY 2/1/12- Music is an integral part of our everyday lives. We carry our iPods, listen to satellite radio driving to work, and hear it playing in the background at our favorite restaurants or while we are shopping. But while we listen, we seldom really hear the music. If you truly listen to your favorite songs, you will find that the lyrics often tell a story or have a message; they may inspire or spark your imagination; and a particular song may make long forgotten memories reappear as if it were just yesterday.

“Listen To The Music: The Words You Don't Hear When You Listen To The Music” is the result of Steve Richards’ 40-year passion for the music that he and 78 million other Baby Boomers grew up with.

Could talk radio overthrow the government?

TUESDAY 1/31/12- Could a national talk show host, or several of them, bring down the US government? Does any major broadcaster today, or cable channel for that matter have that much influence?

Gary Grossman’s Executive Treason is an international political thriller which focuses part of the story on the influence and power of talk radio in the United States.
