Of course on the flip side I live in L.A. where we have Talk Left Radio and it's amazing how many democrats I talk to who still aren't aware that we have the station here. Hopefully Darrell will check out Air America by livestream, because I'm sure, since he's been around the Dem Daily for some time now, that he'll enjoy listening. Charles

Hopefully Darrell will check out Air America by livestream, because I’m sure, since he’s been around the Dem Daily for some time now, that he’ll enjoy listening.

After just a few years of operation, Air America is already on in Denver, Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Sheridan. Certainly a city that elected Rocky Anderson wants something other than right-wing monoculture. Someday you too may be forced to live in the fearful knowledge that a Salt Lake City radio station carries opinions other than those approved by the RNC.

I'd live to hear it someone time. Think there's any chance she'll ever make it to Utah? 1.5 liberal listeners. I’d live to hear it someone time. Think there’s any chance she’ll ever make it to Utah?

My thought was simply how fast the hype and partisanship spreads in the blogosphere and it's too much too fast sometimes. Charles

Darrell… who are you?

If anyone is at fault, it is Jon Elliott. Mainstream media make mistakes all the time. The only difference here is that this was a story that generated a lot of emotion. The right-wing has been doing its best to generate an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. I collected dozens of excerpts of comments from Talking Radio in which people expressed emotions toward Randi's injuries ranging from indifference to wishes that she had been killed. These were the *norm.* In this kind of hate-filled atmosphere, the speed of the spread of the story was, in my opinion, due to resentment of the repressive environment. I agree with Kevin.

I know a lot of liberal bloggers tried to act responsibly. Glad the truth came out as quick as it did. It's just crazy after all the other partisan stuff going on for the past week or so. We all need a rest... don't you think? :) Kevin
