It would be a fair argument if there were actual alternatives that have equal reach with terrestrial airwaves, into automobiles and terrestrial radios.<br /><br />But for most people, in most cars, right now here today, and for this century so far, the media concentration spoken of by Hartmann and Sanders ensures that when Mr. Delivery Guy gets in his truck to do his rounds that day, with very few exceptions, what he can tune in is terrestrial radio. <br /><br />Cost is an issue. Internet does not broadcast in cars unless that car is equipped with the latest & has the price tag to match. The future is the future, and we're not there yet, regardless of the gadgets that the more economically advantaged are playing with right now.<br /><br />It is also possible, and in my opinion likely, that the alternative media has developed to the extent it has because the overwhelmingly "conservative" media has alienated listeners, forcing them to both create and discover new programming. (Also, it's my opinion that "conservative" is a misnomer when applied to the pols who claim it. "Conservative" administrations have huge-ified our government from Reagan on, all the while claiming to be for "small government.")Lee Kramer https://www.blogger.com/profile/12725366402959404334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16616978.post-55518682896897820462012-07-26T18:25:24.991-07:002012-07-26T18:25:24.991-07:00Patt Morrison's lovefest with Condi Rice convi...Patt Morrison's lovefest with Condi Rice convinced me not to support that station anymore. I literally couldn't believe what I was hearing, nor that KPCC wrote on the interview page that Rice is "labeled" a war criminal by "some." <br /><br />You wouldn't have known that from the interview, however. It was as if Condi were a rock star and Patt a groupie. There was not one question, not one comment, not one single thing to acknowledge what we, as taxpayers, received from Ms. Rice in her days as a public servant, from the lie that "no one could have foreseen airplanes being flown into buildings" to her threat of a "mushroom cloud" to envelop us all.<br /><br />I'll resist posting any more comments, Mr. Wells, but I saw that you have a blog and felt I had to take a peek. ;DLee Kramer https://www.blogger.com/profile/12725366402959404334noreply@blogger.com
