Furthermore, in today's marginalized media with rampant corporate takeover of your favorite radio and TV stations, you come here expecting free-form expression and action. Edgy commentary and opinion.
And, for the most part, I provide you that unique content.
You are aghast at the wussy FCC which has become useless and is only a rubber stamp for the broadcast evils of the world like Cumulus. Never forget: Cumulus murdered the old KGO; Cumulus runs KNBR as a sports whorehouse where commercial spots run more than half the hour on a given show; Cumulus, the company that pays slave wages to most of its heavy-lifting employees at its SF stations, making it a requirement that some of its employees have to drive Uber part time so they can LIVE; Cumulus; the company that uses KGO as a radio warehouse and has fostered ill will to the few listeners like you that still give a damn.
Mad yet? A little disgusted? Where do you go, the Chronicle? . The Chronicle, when it used to be an actual newspaper, had a full-time Radio/TV writer that would occasionally write critical articles and conduct real investigative reporting, is dead. Imagine what John Wasserman, the late, great movie and pop culture writer, would have written about Cumulus and KGO? Nowadays the Chronicle has a former Rolling Stone writer that posts press releases every two weeks.
I'm here for you, always have been, always will be. Circumstances, sadly, to some degree, make it possible now for me to write more material and post information and CALL OUT those that need to be CALLED OUT. And those TV/radio stations and their ilk to be equally held accountable. Who else will do that?
I am here for you but again, I need your assistance --without your donations and contributions --which go directly to me and my ability to keep 415 MEDIA up and running and doing the heavy lifting that needs to be performed. It's just that simple.
415 MEDIA RELIES on your donations and contributions; we get a small amount of monthly fees from advertising but not enough to live on. If only but a fraction of you, many of whom have the vast financial resources would contribute, I wouldn't have to have pledge breaks.
PLEASE, if you want 415 MEDIA, PAYPAL me a donation; simply CLICK on the PAY PAL icon on the right and make your contribution now. You'll be supporting a free, independent, and unedited, unfiltered, raw and edgy media site devoted to unique content, original criticism, and mucho SCOOPS galore--oh, and INSIDE Information you WON'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE
I agree Rich. What a sad commentary on the FCC. Your user supported blog is one of the few avenues for media transparency. Keep on, keepin’ on.
ReplyDeleteAgree too! And it shows something when the Murky news uses 415 Media for help with a story, like the biggest paid anchors.
