How pathetic has liberalism, er socialism, gotten in the United States? Well, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel http://sunsentinel.com, a Broward county commissioner wants to stop having emergency information, especially regarding hurricanes, broadcast over radio station WOID 610. Why, you may ask? Because that station has the utter gaul to broadcast. . .RUSH LIMBAUGH! and SEAN HANNITY!
It would be a roll-in-the-aisle, knee slapping good time except this absolute nitwit, Broward County commissioner, Stacy Ritter, said "They have every reason to speak, but we don't have to do business with them." True enough, but why did they "do business" with WOID in the first place?
Because, firstly, WOID was willing to pay top dollar and because they have both an AM and FM signal and, this should be the most important aspect of the deal, they are the stations in the area that have the strongest and widest signal strength.
Now, two other stations in the area are willing to cut a deal so that the emergency information, mostly news conferences, can be broadcast.
So, because the socialist Broward county commissioners suddenly don't want emergency information reaching the widest audience because the station they cut a deal with broadcasts conservative radio talk show hosts, they will be held liable if in the next hurricane people did not get the emergency information because that station does not reach as wide an area or could have been knocked off the air. Also, the same socialists who babble about the broadcast bands being licensed and part of the "public airwaves" are in effect, contradicting themselves.
More than likely, cooler heads will prevail as the vote on this ridiculous measure is being delayed one week.
Here is a clue to Stacy Ritter and her comrades.
Weather or other disasters are not liberal or conservative. Democrat or Republican. They affect everyone and this attempt by some socialists to tie conservative talk radio and if they will allow needed information in an emergency shows how deranged the left in the United States has become.
If this reflects the politics of Broward County, Florida, thank God I am in California!
