Title: The anti FTL show?
Post by: Demon440 on August 30, 2009, 05:01:10 PM: I enjoy listening to FTL very much but I also like to listen to the opposite opinion too. So what I'm looking for is a show like FTL but where the host are anti-freedom statist. Any ideas? preferably on itunes. Thanks!

Nope, there are too many similarities.

I remember popping him on once and he was saying how we needed to bailout the car companies and libertarian types were crazy. Then he went into mexican bashing mode with a bit of Japan bashing mixed in. He didn't have as many cute little fascist catchphrases about Japanese people. He kept referencing Chinese things.

Savage is fail. FTL is win.

Post by: Demon440 on August 30, 2009, 08:36:18 PM: true about the main media channels but I am looking for a even more focused bias.

I listened to two shows of Blast The Right while washing my truck this evening and that was about what I was looking for but there were still a few things the guy was right about. (anti Bush stuff) Other than that his tone was annoying and the whole show seemed very scripted.

I'm going to try Savage now thanks.

Post by: hellbilly on August 30, 2009, 10:30:08 PM: Listened to an episode of Blast the Right after reading this.. seemed like an instructional show for democrats on how to reply to right wingers.

"When they say.. blah blah blah.. here is how you respond to that accusation.. blah blah.."

And yes, very annoying accent.

I used to watch their show. Just like any leftists, pretty good on Civil Rights issues, pretty damn shitty about economic issues. According to Cenk, everyone with a D next to his or her name is good, everyone else is crazy.

TYT are pretty good about entertainment and public interest stories though.

Post by: Demon440 on August 31, 2009, 06:32:19 PM: been listening to "progressive student voice" seems to be about what I've been looking for.

On one I was listening to today made me laugh how the two hosts were conflicted on the Robert Gates story.
