My gawd you can’t even turn on the radio anymore without hearing some idiot spouting off. While the rest of America’s amplitude modulated radio went conservative, Ames, Iowa’s KASI 1430 stayed commie. Morning host and gun grabber Mel Crippen had Ames Mayor John Haila on telling us what a fine job city plow crews are doing on the streets. An honest person would have broke out laughing. There’s not a bigger bunch of overpaid / underworked employees in the country. If you don’t live on Lincoln Way, Duff, Grand or a bus route, your streets are shit.

But putting a clown like Crippen on the air is KASI’s choice, isn’t it? As far as I know they are a private concern . Also in Ames (or used to be) is the NPR affiliate WOI 640 am. They’re even more commie. The problem is they’re tax funded (yes I know they also receive donations). I saw a meme online the other day from Mark Levine asking, “Why does NPR still exist?” Republicans let stand a taxpayer funded entity that wants to destroy them. If there’s any logic in that I don’t see it. So what we’re left with is radio that is funded by everyone’s tax dollars, but only provides programming for half the country.

So that’s the deal, I don’t have to pay for KASI, I do for WOI.

That’s the difference between liberals and conservatives, we don’t try to ‘cancel’ people. If your employer wants to hire a commie som bitch that’s their business. We sure as hell ain’t going to listen to your ugly ass.

[KASI has been gobbled up by Clear Channel or iHeart or whatever it is that company that owns all of radio is calling itself now. Its not good when 95% of all media is owned by 6 corporations. Oh! Oh! Oh! I almost forgot. If there wasn’t enough commie radio in Ames, a few years ago a group formed an actual independent radio station called KHOI 89.1. I’m surprised they allow Trumpers to live in the same town!] 

(The other thing about radio all owned by the same people is the corporate nature of it all. I’ve long felt that there will come a day when radio stations will say, “Practically everyone listens to our station using our app on their device, its just not worth our while to have the cost of the broadcast tower anymore.” Then after a short transition, that “free app” will incur a small ‘service fee’. Then it will become a larger monthly subscription. Which is why it seems their sole goal in life is to see how many times in one day they can say, “iHeart radio app! iHeart radio app!“)
