Talk Radio Network is owned by Roy Masters -- a British-born author
and commentator who also created the Foundation for Human
Understanding, a Christian organization -- and his two sons, including
Mark, the company's CEO. Roy Masters moved the foundation from Los
Angeles to Grants Pass, Ore., in 1983, sparking fears by some
residents that the town would become the site of a religious cult.
In a 1992 open letter, Roy Masters said he was a former Jew who
founded a ministry that some unfairly viewed as New Age because of
"often mean-spirited media coverage." Masters is the author of such
books as "How Your Mind Can Keep You Well," which promotes "a very
special form of meditation -- a rediscovery of an ancient science that
provides the answer to the serious problems of our time."
The foundation once published New Dimensions magazine, which described
homosexuality as an "illness" caused by "trauma-induced conditioning,"
published photos of aborted fetuses and accused the media of engaging
in "hysteria control" by "selectively editing and diluting certain
terrifying information" about AIDS.
Masters also hosts the radio program "Advice Line." His 15-year-old
company syndicates such personalities as Michael Savage, Tammy Bruce,
Erich "Mancow" Muller and Jackie Mason, as well as Ingraham, who has
an estimated 5 million listeners. That makes her No. 5 among talk
radio hosts, behind Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Savage and Laura
Schlessinger.
