Fun facts for the Chattering Class

*   This blog is not new.  It has been in existence before White Pine News was.  It's roots, in fact, go back to 2005 when I began writing for Fred Weinberg's Penny Press.  The first six years are lost to Go Daddy as their platform didn't allow exporting and given that most of it was contained in past issues of the Penny Press, I didn't bother.  (Note: I was hesitant to mention the Penny Press, since the last time it was mentioned, Fred got 37 signups for his e-blast, none of them were ever opened, and one person reported it as spam, despite their signing up for it and confirming it via email.  Go figure.)

Another person's thoughts about Talk Radio

Our last post on Talk Radio and the need for it to be reinvented caught the attention of an acquaintance from long ago in the American Sunrise heyday.  He emailed me, and I think what he says bears repeating.  I have omitted his name from his writing.

Talk Radio Landscape changed for the worse

Fred Weinberg's article from the 7/31/14 issue of the Penny Press notes the sinking of Conservative Talk radio by what can only be called a legion of uneducated hosts and listeners.

I was part of it in a better time.

End of an era...

I put an old friend to sleep.  No, not a four legged friend, but a daily journey that I had taken for more than a decade.

And truth be told, I think the journey was finished a long time ago.
