Media Action Center: Media watchdog files legal challenges with FCC to pull radio licenses of WISN-AM and WTMJ-AM

Meh.
mediaactioncenter.net

Coincidentally, the same day Media Action Center launched, so did Occupy Wall Street. And in its Declaration of the Occupation of New York City, Occupy Wall Street wrote, “They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.” As this is a premise of Broadcast Blues, Sue found willing partners at Occupy LA and Occupy Sacramento. Occupy LA first joined Media Action Center and Free Press to protest the Fox/Newscorps shareholders meeting in L.A. (for spreading fear and misinformation,) and then joined Media Action Center in a public files inspection of the Clear Channel radio stations in Los Angeles (as part of a protest against incitements to violence on the John and Ken show.)

Then, last December in Sacramento, in the middle of the night, Clear Channel switched from a soft rock format on its 50,000 watt FM station to airing a simulcast of programming from KFBK, the “conservative” 50,000 watt AM station which launched Rush Limbaugh. For the community, it meant four giant stations were playing about 350 hours a week of “conservative” political talk radio in the Sacramento community, with not a minute of any alternative political talk.

Just partisan extremists trying to silence opinions and information they don’t like.
