Once upon a decade a hundred years ago a physicist, James Clerk Maxwell theorized the existence of electromagnetic waves. A

contemporary German scientist named Heinrich Hertz later proved Maxwell’s theory factual. Maybe his Mom called him “Gug”, but Guglielmo Marconi discovered a method of transmitting wireless sound and David Sarnoff could have suggested with many others

that “radios” be mass produced and sold to households for music, news, and informative purposes.

Radio Transmitter 1912

Radio proved to be as valuable as the lifeboats on the sinking Titanic. Her distress signals were received and rescue messages were sent to other ships in the region to come to her aid. The value of radio was manifested to the world. It would change lives all over the world. It

would be used in war. It would be used in peace. Communication just advanced at the speed of light.

Frequency Regulation

The air waves needed regulation like the roads did when the automobile took off. Radio licenses were being sold for the radio frequencies and broadcasts were dubbing over eachother making neither

party’s product worth listening to. People taking part in the National Radio Conferences appealed to the Secretary

of Commerce for help before the medium self destructed. President

Coolage urged Congress to deal with the problem. The Radio Act of 1927 was instituted. Like traffic laws, the radio

waves had licenses and rules governing operating hours and power regulation.

FCC Commissioner Wants to Test the ‘Public Value’ of Every Broadcast Station

The FCC took the view, in 1949, that station licensees were "public trustees," and as such had an obligation to afford reasonable opportunity for discussion of contrasting points of view on controversial issues of public importance. The FCC policy of the Fairness Doctrine would emerge in 1949 which pressed the talk stations to afford equal time for opposing points of view. Journalists did not like this regulation of the media. It was the journalist’s job to discern the

newsworthy stories of the day and it was the audience’s responsibility to discern the trustworthy journalists.

Reagan Loved Radio

With President Reagan’s deregulation efforts of the media the Fairness Doctrine escaped becoming law by both Houses of Congress and commentators were free to entertain, inform, and commentate as they saw fit. Freedom of speech was on the air. Talk show hosts

could now report political news and their analysis of it.

Talk Radio is market driven. If listeners don’t like what is said they will quit tuning in, commercial time won’t sell, and the show will disappear. It still remains the responsibility of the audience to discern truth from error. Every show and every person on planet earth is biased. A wise

citizen would gather information on current events from as many sources as possible to form their own conclusions. Talk Radio frequently covers stories main stream news covers up. Talk Radioaffects contemporary politics and some talk show hosts are a huge thorn in the side of the

Washington D.C. establishment.

Ultimately it is the citizen’s responsibility to be informed of the politics affecting the freedom in his or her country. Years of apathy and willful ignorance have brought our nation to this point. Just because you don’t have an interest in politics, that doesn’t mean politics doesn’t have an interest in you. You will still be governed. We are not nearly as free or prosperous as we could be as citizens of this nation.

Listening to talk radio is a great way to stay relatively informed if you don’t have time to surf the web in depth getting the

scoop yourself. I am a biased individual. My bias is towards the United States Constitution and justice for all. Too many

Americans have never read it and consequently have no idea when it’s being violated. There are many Republican

cheerleader talk show hosts. There are a few Democrat cheerleader talk show host. There are a few talk show hosts that are despised by the D C Establishments in both parties.

Rush Limbaugh is considered the Father of Political Talk Radio. After the Reagan degulation of the airwaves he emerged as a huge market share

taker first broadcasting out of Sacramento California. He grew in immense popularity during the Clinton Administration with Monica,

Whitewater, and some of the dead people. He is very much a Republican and has cheer led and carried the party’s water for twenty years. Only in

recent years as his listenership has grown more wary of the establishment repubs has he started to criticize the party at all.

Jerry Doyle, heard locally on 860 AM, ran as a Republican candidate for Congress while acting in California. He’s very much a libertarian at heart and

has no love for political parties if they don’t represent the people. He was kicked off of a Fox News interview for wearing an “Arrest Paulsen” T-shirt referring to Hank Paulsen, Secretary of the Treasury during the last Bush

Administration. He made money on Wall Street before he went to Hollywood, filled in on radio once and hasn’t left. He’s heard on over 200 stations across

the country and resides in Las Vegas.

years old. He was a DJ and program director for years. Drug and Alcohol abuse left him penniless until he got his act together in ’99 and is

syndicated today by Premiere Radio Networks. He owns his radio show and hosted a CNN show for a couple years before jumping over to Fox. When

Fox didn’t like what he was saying he left, choosing not to be censored, and started his own network GBTV viewed online.

(AM 630 KTKK ) K-Talk AM 630 in South Jordan has some amazing local amateur talent but is also one of the weirdest run radio stations you’ll ever tune in to. After listening to it you may very well wonder if the owner is trying to discourage listenership. If you give the different hosts a chance you will find some you really like but the bumper music is bizarre, the intro and outro sound hasn’t changed in years and that would be fine if it were any good.

Talk radio and the internet is what freedom of speech and the 1rst Amendment are all about. Freedom of speech was important to the Founders because they saw the people’s voice silenced subject to the will of the King. Political speech has to be protected if we are to be a free people. Much of what you hear on talk radio today would be labeled HATE speech in Ontario, Canada.

Senator Bob Bennett is no longer a senator. After three terms he showed no signs of leaving. He did leave though in part due to talk radio. Stories unreported in the newspapers were discussed in depth on some of the air waves. Some of those people got involved, fought the Bennett political machine and threw him out.

Senator Orrin Hatch saw what happened to his buddy Bob at the convention and started preparing against his departure two years ago. He has all of the money he needs spending 330 K a month campaigning mostly in the form of photo ops with special people and radio and television ads. He has a full paid staff but doesn’t possess the grass roots effort that has followed his opponent Dan Liljenquist.

89 % of his campaign money comes from outside Utah

People who only listen to the radio commercials and TV ads would naturally think he is the man for the job. If they take the time to look at his voting record recorded in the Library of Congress on line
