When I hear someone say that, it just makes me crazy.
No matter what the media, they always find some way to promote their own agenda and denigrate anything done by an oopponent. Happens often enough in the news, but it also very commonly happens everywhere else. Give a listen to just about anything from this site, which lists on-air pieces called “lins Bin” from WXRT radio. Two specific ones come to mind: the ones called “what do we do about drought” and “war on terror”. Listen if you have some time.
In the first, Lin opines: “don’t be seduced by the tree hugging propaganda that accepts actual scientific research concerning global warming….When the United States is confronted by reccomendations from the scientific community concerning the increase in greenhouse gasses, we do the prudent thing. We reject it.”
After he manages to say “actual scientific research concerning global warming” with a straight face as if such were truth,he goes on to say
“Whenever people complain about heat or drought and start conspiring to hold corporations accountable for their emissions, if I may be frank, the forward thinking CEO’s are smart enough to run to their nearest senator and explain rationally how pollution controls are an imposition on profitmaking; and if the Kaisers of Industry can’t turn a profit, where are the political campaigns gonna get their money? from Environmentalists? If Environmentalists had that kind of money, they’d invest it in the stock market! Remember, there are no athiests in foxholes, and there ain’t no environmentalists in the Dow Jones.”
Now, I know Mr Bremer intends for his “lin’s bin” piece to be humorous, but let’s be frank, as he says. The whole point of the above piece is to fulfill one and only one purpose: to pander to the type of liberal idiots that drink this brand of koolade. Here’s a fact or two for you, lin. Envirowhackos managed to shut down the #2 coke plant at Inland Steel due to ever more stringent EPA regulations.
End result? People just stopped needing steel, so it was no loss.
::cough::bullshit::cough::
The nation demands X amouint of steel, which requires N amount of coke to produce. Since that coke is no longer being produced at Inland, it’s being produced in, you guessed it, OTHER COUNTRIES. Other countries, who, by the way, weren’t going to sign any fucked up Kyoto Treaty. Other nations who got those contracts for steel because nobody in this country could supply it anymore. The coke is still being made, the pollution worse, because Czechoslovakia and poland don’t HAVE an EPA, but hey, it’s not HERE, right? We did OUR part.

See the red rectangle? the first picture, it has
coke ovens in it, five of them.They are just beginning to be demolished. In the second picture? dirt. That’s how it looks today.
And several hundreds of jobs, and a large portion of the steel economy of northwest Indiana. Now a lot of guys with forced or early retirement, greeting people at Wal-Mart, because there were no other gigs to be had. Thankfully, the business climate is turning around, but it may be too little too late for many.
In today’s piece, Lin pokes some “good natured fun” at President Bush, in quoting him as saying ” I truly am not that concerned about him (Osama bin ladin)” then another piece that says “I don;t think I ever said I’m not worried about Bin Laden”.
Yeah, all good natured fun. Of course, both statements are taken out of context, and he had to have done a ton of digging to find them. On the other hand there is Former Fuckhead in Chief who said “I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” only to, of course, be proven to be perjoring himself by miss Lewinsky producing DNA evidence. Wait, I guess I never heard that on Lin’s Bin.
Let me make something abundantly clear to you, Lin. You, and the too-cool-for the room staff at WXRT? can all be replaced by a fairly inexpensive computer. There is no need to backcue a record anymore, and a completely synthetic voice can be set to walk up intros perfectly. You are a no-talent hack with a subtle sense of humor, so subtle as to almost be nonexistent, who has made a living off of being a record collecting geek. The industries you slam in the first piece, are the ones who support the station you work for and give you a job. The President you are so happy to attempt to embarass (and who, by the way, is immune to your feeble attempts) is doing his job so that, if you aren’t replaced by a computerized DJ soon, you can continue to spew your leftist message under the all too slender guise of humor. Pound sand. Maybe you can get a job standing in the sun in a construction crew in one of Chicago’s fine expressways. You could hold up a “slow” sign. It’s a job a hole in the ground can do effortlessly, you just might be able to handle it.
No liberal media. nope, not here.
