I want a right to choose the media that I listen to ! Basic fundamental right of every American ! Free speech ! And the white house & it's allies are concerned about the media that they are not able to buy off that encourages & uplifts the individuality of each person in this once great nation ! Ted Turner DOWN & OUT ! Biased media DOWN & OUT ! Real true journalism with integrity & showing & speaking visual truth UP & RUNNING !
Pus Slimebaugh and jnt55 deserve one another.
