This is unfortunately, one more reason that we need a little 'socialism' in this country; more regulation, more 'evening of the playing field,' and less, that's right LESS profit. <br /><br /> The angry few who will throw a tantrum when they can't have all of their toys, (and you should see rich people squirm when their precious bottom line isn't fat enough) but they will hopefully be the exception, and not the rule.<br /><br /> The problem in this country is that most of us Americans have become so greedy, so self-involved; thinking our own farts down smell, that we can't see more than five feet.<br /><br /> What is happening at KGO and at radio stations around the country?

To me, the Dickheads represent that breed in its most insidious form. They stand for nothing, have no morals, no character. All they seek is to fatten their wallet. There is no there there. They remind me of the idiot executive from J Crew who fired 180 people in NY then went out to get plastered with his buddies to celebrate AND THEN proceeded to post his celebration on social media mocking the fired employees. Look it up. It happened recently.

They don't care about society or the public good. They are out for a quick buck and that is ALL. They will spit out whatever's left when they're done, and that is when things will get interesting again.

That's what has happe...10:44 put it best Rich. That's what has happened at KGO, but it's also what has happened to our once great broadcasting industry.<br /><br /> The sad thing is that most young people today are clueless when it comes to the traditional media. They think the world started in 1999 or 2000, or more recently when they graduated from college and joined the job market.<br /><br /> They have ZERO historical prospective on anything. Their attention abilities are that of a house fly. They instead spent hours looking at Facebook, instagram, tweeting, texting, or going to blogs or satellite radio. <br /><br /> In many respects one can't blame them. This is unfortunately the world that they were born into. Deregulation ruined the media, and t he '21st century media' is helping to make radio, TV and newspapers less and less relevant each day.<br /><br /> Clueless programmers at radio stations are screaming at their staffs: "WE'VE GOT TO ATTRACT THE MELENNIALS! WE NEED THEM!!" Uh, hello folks..<br />the 'mellinials' aren't listening to the radio, aren't reading newspapers or magazines, and aren't watching that much TV, because they can get virtually everything they want off their 'Smart Phones' which are mini-broadcast transmitting and receiving units.<br /><br /> Where is all this leading? Who knows, but while commercial radio isn't dead and never will be, (since it's about the only thing left out there that is FREE!) it is a lot less relevant that it used to be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-25424093402625697872015-06-27T00:09:08.716-07:002015-06-27T00:09:08.716-07:00Thank you for pointing out theses are white guys. ...Thank you for pointing out theses are white guys.

You'll be see...Welcome to the oligarchy, Rich!<br /><br />You'll be seeing a whole lot more of this sort of insanity, pending a reversal of Citizens United and pending a restoration of legitimate ownership of media outlets. This sort of insanity will continue to be brought to you by the thousands of obscenely rich, morally-vacant bastards in this country. These are the psychopathic and sociopathic losers who already have enough wealth to live a grand lifestyle for millenia, but who keep on grubbing for more and more (think Koch, think Walton). They're poster children for mental illness and amorality; they're not role models for how successful people should be defined.<br /><br />They're the ultimate sick bastards who don't know how to do anything but gleefully screw up the lives and welfare of the "little people;" the people who do the real work in this society: the dieing Middle Class. The Middle Class that is dieing because of these thousands of socially dysfunctional, amoral plutocrats. The plutocrats who are steadily turning this country into a banana republic, where they call all the shots.<br /><br />I'd love to witness dysfunctional rich guys like the Dickeys, or the Kochs, being given a slow and painful attitude adjustment in a dark alley. An attitude adjustment that's simultaneously delivered by hundreds of angry people whose lives they've screwed up... people carrying torches and pitchforks, like the angry mob in the original Frankenstein.<br /><br />Marie Antoinette supposedly said: "They have no bread? Let them eat cake!"<br /><br />The Dickeys no doubt say: "They have no entertainment? Let them hear infomercials!"<br /><br />One can only hope that our latter day filthy-rich bastards meet the same sort of fate that the French Queen and her obscenely wealthy cronies did, at the hands of the common man, who they have so grievously abused.<br /><br />Where can you find a guillotine when you really really need one?Down With Wealthy Psychopathsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-67219947536561167302015-06-26T19:51:04.681-07:002015-06-26T19:51:04.681-07:00You can call it...
