The network was, and is, Keith's. Not Art's. Art couldn't run a whelk stall. Art's contribution was a few humdrum shows before fucking off for the dozenth time. And there is no evidence he planned anything because he was a serial flake.

No, you're wrong.

He and Keith planned it as a vehicle for Art's next program.

Sorry you get to have your own opinion, but not your own set of facts.

QuoteBroadcasting schools are there to give degrees to dummies who are too thick to study anything else. Next! Your sensitivity on this subject is all too obvious.

Please tell that to Hugh Downs and Arizona State University...lol...

QuoteYou can bet what you like, but don't lose too much because you'll need some money for the hostel tonight. I couldn't run a board? How frightful but I will file it under 'things I couldn't give a shit about'.

And yet here you are obsessing over how simple it all is.

Oh you give "a shit", perhaps more...

QuoteI have no idea who Carl Clifton is, but it's probably some tedious pop culture reference and I am far too erudite and sophisticated to concern myself with such juvenilia. Ditto your other weary gibes. Insults from some random arse are not very wounding but it must be all you have.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Clavin

Clifford C. "Cliff" Clavin, Jr. is a fictional character on the American television show Cheers co-created (and played) by John Ratzenberger. A postal worker, he is the bar's know-it-all and was a contestant on the game show Jeopardy!

Cliff is a postal worker, and Norm Peterson's best friend. He lives with his mother, Esther Clavin (Frances Sternhagen)â€"first in his childhood two-story house (which was bulldozed in 1987's "The Last Angry Mailman" after Esther sold it to a convenience-store builder), and then in a condominium (which first appears in the season 6 episode "My Fair Clavin") with a sofabed. He is ridiculed by friends and enemies alike, including Carla (Rhea Perlman) and Norm, for his know-it-all attitude. He appears on Jeopardy! in the season-eight episode, "What Is... Cliff Clavin?" (1990). The postman wins $22,000, but loses it all with a wrong answer in Final Jeopardy (launching into a tirade which frightens off host Alex Trebek). Cliff has a few relationships (mostly short-lived and hopeless) with women, though his attempts to impress other women bound to fail.

Remember how he set Whitley up with the Sunday night Dreamland gig and mentored him along.

Whitley had no special radio resume to boast of either prior to becoming Art's associate and friend.

Oh, I overlooked this little gem.

Yeah, remember how he had Whitley living with him while this 'mentoring ' went in? Neither do I, you dope.

Oh, don't bust me up with your State University. Comms graduates are notorious thickos. And I neither know nor care about your Downs Syndrome friends. Although I'm sure your social circle must be quite restricted.

Can we get a Baudelaire or Tolstoy reference up in this bitch? Who gives a monkey's left nut about a defunct sitcom?

Art did sod all, Keith did all the work. You know nothing. You're a bitter little bitch who once did a weekly spot in the early mornings on hospital radio and now you see yourself as a broadcast authority rather than the squirrely nonentity you so obviously are.

Uh what does that mean?


QuoteComms graduates are notorious thickos.

Like Stanford 'comms graduate' Linda Moulton Howe?

https://www.earthfiles.com/linda-moulton-howe-bio/

Linda Moulton Howe is a graduate of Stanford University with a Masters Degree in Communication. She has devoted her documentary film, television, radio, web, writing and reporting career to productions concerning science, medicine and the environment.

Ms. Howe has received local, national and international awards, including three regional Emmys, a national Emmy nomination and was an honored producer for medical and science programming in a WCVB-TV (ABC) Boston station Peabody. Linda’s award-winning documentaries have included A Strange Harvest that explored the worldwide animal mutilation mystery that has haunted the United States and other countries since the 1960s and continues to date.


QuoteAnd I neither know nor care about your Downs Syndrome friends. Although I'm sure your social circle must be quite restricted.

Just an odd and very Trumpian non sequitur that was...

QuoteCan we get a Baudelaire or Tolstoy reference up in this bitch? Who gives a monkey's left nut about a defunct sitcom?

Americans ftmp...and you are in an AMERICAN forum, coincidentally!

QuoteArt did sod all, Keith did all the work.

On the digital side, yes.

But lacking name talents to deliver, no viable network, period.

That's why are  Art went after the Brit voice so hard.

QuoteYou know nothing.

And yet simultaneously volumes more than you when it comes to broadcasting, oh well...

QuoteYou're a bitter little bitch who once did a weekly spot in the early mornings on hospital radio and now you see yourself as a broadcast authority rather than the squirrely nonentity you so obviously are.

I give you credit for attempting to step up your rhetoric, but an Okinawan reference would have made it at least topical.

Fail again, as you are wont to.

Christopher O'Brien?

Btw, her documentary on radioactive pollution from Colorado's Rocky Flats weapons plant is considered top flight among host of others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Moulton_Howe

Howe's early work focused on environmental issues. From 1978 to 1983, Howe was Director of Special Projects at KMGH-TV, Channel 7, Denver, Colorado. Her documentaries included Poison in the Wind and A Sun Kissed Poison which compared smog pollution in Los Angeles and Denver, Fire In The Water about hydrogen as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels, and A Radioactive Water about uranium contamination of public drinking water in a Denver suburb. Howe was on staff at WCVB-TV when the station won a Institutional Peabody Award for institutional excellence in 1975.[

QuoteAnyway, she got there on a basketball scholarship, as everyone knows.

Yes, athletics are very useful in paying for one's university education here in the States; I did not know she got there that way however, are you certain?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Moulton_Howe

She was born Linda Ann Moulton in Boise, Idaho.[5] Howe entered the 1963 Miss Boise pageant for college scholarships and went on to win the 1963 Miss Idaho crown[5] and scholarships, and participated in the Miss America 1964 pageant that year in Atlantic City. Howe received her 1965 B.A. cum laude in English Literature from the University of Colorado. In 1966, Howe was awarded the Stanley Baubaire Scholarship for her Master's Degree work at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. She received her master's degree in Communication from Stanford University in 1968, where she produced a documentary film for the Stanford Medical Center and her Master's Thesis, "A Picture Calculus," at the Stanford Linear Accelerator.

We'll have a live episode of The GabCast tonight at 9:00 East, 6:00 West.  There will be a special, super-secret surprise guest joining us.

Call the show:  573-837-4948
Listen live:  http://ufoship.com/chat

I was downloading my podcasts today and this came up in my feed. I listened. Vincent seems like a good dude.

Seems a lot of shit's happened since I last checked in. I didn't realize it's been over a month since Art died. That's a trip. Anyway, I have thoughts after listening, and I figured I'd either come here and share them or else go on Youtube and post about them (which is something I've been doing lately). But it makes sense to just type them here, so here they are:

Both Art Bell and Adam Parfrey have died within weeks of each other. These were my two guides in all things pertaining to Forteana and the paranormal. I'm finding it hard to give a shit about these topics lately, and if I'm being honest, maybe I started losing interest decades ago, when I went on my first EVP recording mission. The results of that expedition differed from those of the GIS in that my recordings didn't feature what amounted to some fucking baby-boomer whispering into the mic after being asked a bunch of dumb questions. My 25 year-old self derived a lot more pleasure in these things than my 45 year-old self does. My mind is closing, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Art's past was complicated, and we probably wouldn't have been friends, had we met. I don't know that it affects my listening experience. I came to him for one particular thing, and he executed those duties perfectly. To those who sought more from him and were left wanting, my heart goes out to you. He's still one of my heroes.

I didn't know there were two Midnight in The Deserts. I haven't been keeping up. Seems some shit went down, and I'd have to go back 300 pages to find out what happened exactly. I like Heather and I like Dave. I wish them both the best. I hope everyone is able to find peace at some point. Death has a way of turning everything upside-down.

Lately I find myself watching skate videos on Youtube and listening to comedy podcasts. I don't think I have a whole lot of room in my life for ghosts and aliens right now. I'm glad there are options, should I decide to get back into them at some point.

Hope you guys are well.

Oh yeh, I get what you're saying. Shortly after George took over, I went on a 'Celebrity bowling' kick. I watched damn near every episode twice. Thanks to Dave, I once again, have some decent late night radio to partake. That, and my knitting....

Yes, so?

Maybe we should ban pen knives like the Unfree Kingdom has:

https://constitution.com/londons-knife-ban-misses-point/
A few weeks ago, the latest data on metropolitan crime was released and peaceful Londoners were shocked to learn that the murder rate in their storied city was about to surpass the murder rate in New York City.

Truth be told, this shouldn’t have been shocking.

The crime rate and the violent crime rate in London have been higher than that of New York’s for years, it was likely inevitable that the day would come when the murder rate would catch up to the other crime statistics.

These facts have taken London, and the UK, by complete surprise because the common mythos around the world is that America is so dangerous because of our ready access to guns. Sadly, if they had paid attention to the data, they would have realized this theory is complete hogwash.

Liberal statistician and journalist, Leah Libresco, explains what the data REALLY says:

I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn’t prove much about what America’s policy should be. Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress. And in both Australia and Britain, the gun restrictions had an ambiguous effect on other gun-related crimes or deaths.

When I looked at the other oft-praised policies, I found out that no gun owner walks into the store to buy an “assault weapon.” It’s an invented classification that includes any semi-automatic that has two or more features, such as a bayonet mount, a rocket-propelled grenade-launcher mount, a folding stock or a pistol grip. But guns are modular, and any hobbyist can easily add these features at home, just as if they were snapping together Legos…

As my co-workers and I kept looking at the data, it seemed less and less clear that one broad gun-control restriction could make a big difference. Two-thirds of gun deaths in the United States every year are suicides. Almost no proposed restriction would make it meaningfully harder for people with guns on hand to use them.

66% of gun-related deaths are suicides, and a large portion of the rest of these gun-related deaths are the results of gang violence in inner-city areas (in Chicago some estimate that 80% of the gun related deaths are due to gang violence). The point is that passing new gun control laws on law abiding citizens will have a relatively minor effect on gun violence in America, and Libresco’s number-crunching proves it.
The reality is, that according to the data, gun control has a statistically insignificant impact on crime rates, violent crime rates, and even murder.

MBFC News was founded by Dave Van Zandt in 2015.  Dave studied Communications in college and over the years has focused on personal research in media bias and the role of media in politics.  Dave is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence based reporting.

;D ;D ;D

Quote#Whowuddaguessed?

https://lidblog.com/conservative-news-sites/

They cite trumpets, “We are the most comprehensive media bias resource on the internet. There are currently 1400+ media sources listed in our database and growing every day. Don’t be fooled by Fake News sources.”
I say, not so fast.  Don’t be fooled by fake fact checkers.

https://www.politifactbias.com/2017/10/can-you-trust-what-media-biasfact-check.html

Notice the biased language from Van Zandt? Van Zandt only allows that PolitiFact has been called left-leaning by "Extreme right wing and questionable sources." In fact, PolitiFact has been called left-biased by many sources, including the non-partisan Allsides Project.

Until Dave Van Zandt adds objective markers to the MB/FC rating scales and justifies every rating with real objective data, take the ratings with a boulder of salt. They're worthless without specific backing data.

Media Bias Fact Check â€" The website MediaBiasFactCheck.com touts itself as being “the most comprehensive media bias resource in the Internet,” yet its founder, Dave Van Zandt from North Carolina, appears to have little or no background in journalism.

In fact, it’s unclear whether Van Zandt or his three unpaid volunteer assistants have any particular credentials that would qualify them to judge the accuracy or bias of news sources.
