They want to do to Radio what they did to the Mortgage market.
Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the
presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a
controversial author.
It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target
of an "Obama Action Wire" alert to supporters of the Illinois
Democrat.
Monday night's target was David Freddoso,
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_Against_Barack_Obama ]
who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m.
to 11 p.m. Chicago time.
"The author of the latest anti-Barack hit book is appearing on WGN
Radio in the Chicagoland market tonight, and your help is urgently
needed to make sure his baseless lies don't gain credibility," an e-
mail sent Monday evening to Obama supporters reads.
"David Freddoso has made a career off dishonest, extreme hate
mongering," the message said. "And WGN apparently thinks this card-
carrying member of the right-wing smear machine needs a bigger
platform for his lies and smears about Barack Obama -- on the public
airwaves."
The Tribune-owned station was flooded with calls and e-mails about an
hour before an Aug. 27 interview with Stanley Kurtz, a conservative
writer who examined Obama's ties to former 1960s radical William
Ayers.
A WGN producer said Monday night's response was about the same as when
Kurtz was on the station.

I find this strange because I never thought of WGN as a right wing
station.
I have also been puzzled by MSNBCs support for Obama. They are owned
by GE who are big defense contractors. GE has also been known to
change broadcasts they don't like. If anyone knows why they are
supporting the democrats please let me know.

Well, what do you expect when the majority of radio and TV stations are
either run by Neocons or walk in lockstep with the GOP and White House?

Hey tin hat boy who keeps posting the same stupid 50 links -- Obama
has no chance of silencing WGN.
Good try though.
They are only one of the biggest radio stations in the country.

You're the best tin foil hat. If you click on one of his two links it
brings you to...another post by RHF that has 15 more links. Thanks
for the laughs.
Just stop posting about WGN. You don't know anything about them
outside of what some righty blog says.
