Yeah, disney is conservative. They actually did'nt want to show more's movie because of that same reason. Yeah, damn them teletubbies spreading their purple homosexuality! For anyone who does'nt know though, BBC controlled all media up untill the sixties or mid-seventies i think, and they still fully control the radio, but it's much more lax(fcc style) Radio pirates used to take huge boats and turn them into broadcasting stations(it was illegal, see marine broadcasting offences act). Radio london, for instance, was actually a offshore pirate radio station back in the day. BBC used to be real bad and pirates are still at large, but I don't know about the other types of media, I'm sure they are'nt much better.
No, it's not stop saying that. How do you explain "gay day" at Disney world? And many other things...
Well, I was watching leno yesterday, and moore said that disney did'nt want to get "involved in politics", yet they support numerous conservative radio stations and organizations. Honestly though, I have no idea why they have the gay festival, or the faux mardi gras, for that matter.
i've watched fox news some since the debate was running rampant here. my take is that in the actual deliver of the regular news items, they're pretty straightforward. not much different from what i was seeing on cnn. on their editorial type programs, it was definitely a right slant, but when take with CNN's and MSNBC's in combination, you got a fuller view of the political opinion spectrum. it takes a lot of time to watch all of them, though. i'm done with that project.
This is a joke, Right? An attempt at Satire? The moderators at MSNBC are conservative --- Good one! Donahue's ratings were high! --- Now That IS funny, but you are right, some people will believe anything! Disney didn't distribute F9/11 {but their subsidary did} -- good example of half truth! The ONLY people....are pundits. You ARE The Master of Satire!

were did you hear that... i just thought the BBC was into radio because they are publicly funded so just had more resources http://www.bbc.co.uk/heritage/story/index.shtml The UK government concluded that this was such a powerful means of mass communication that it would have to be in state control. In 1927 The British Broadcasting Corporation was formed. This organisation can best be described as an extension of the British Civil Service. Raising revenue by charging a licence fee to every home possessing a radio, the Corporation was given the duty to provide programmes of news, speeches, lectures, educational matter, weather reports, concerts and theatrical entertainment. This format was a government edict, not a matter of audience research The UK population had to pay but had no say over what they got for their money. http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/ I don't think they fully control the radio over here anymore , but i would not be surprised if your right ...they are planning to take over the world i hear. Pirate radio is quite a dangerous thing ... thats why their are laws proventing it , not to gag anyone. Just for safety reasons i guess.
well, some other ppl have given some very intelligent, well thought out commentary on your comment. and my rebuttle to your statement is...... BULLLLLLSHIT! i dont know how you cant see the bias in their coverage. it astounds me
i hate taking the risk of being labeled a redneck, but that makes me glad im american. dispite the FCC which stands for Fascist Corporate Control
disney has a gay day because gays spend money too. being gay, and liking gays is now more fashionable than ever and its much more politically correct. disney is about making money...rebuplicans are about making money. rebuplicans aren't anti gay because it fits into their agenda of global domination...republicans are anti gay because it gets them votes by brainwashed bible thumpers. so it makes no sense for disney to discriminate against gays despite the fact they are quite conservative. anyways....fox news is so far right...there one right short of left. (which has a double meaning of course, being that in order to be one right short of going left, you have to be going backwards..and the republicans views of the world are so skewed that their drving societty in the opposite direction of where we need to be going... oh yea...im THAT good)
You would think with all that the BBC owns collects stores monitors ...they would be almost like an oracle...why are they not ... inpartiality .... patronising S.O.Bs in my eyes. thankfuly we have channel 4 and 5
Wait....no that's not it.....hold on....damn you and your complex gibberish. Some peope say that if you go far enough right, you end up left and vice versa. But only if you're running a totalitarians state (which really doesn't have much to do with being right or left), and the government's influence cuts into economic matters. Or something.
WHILE DISNEY CLAIMS IT IS REFUSING TO DISTRIBUTE THE MOORE FILM BECAUSE IT IS TOO PARTISAN, DISNEY CONTINUES TO OPERATE HARD CORE RIGHT-WING RADIO STATIONS FROM COAST TO COAST Purely Partisan Hosts Larry Elder, Al Rantel, And Others Make Up The Lineup On Disney-Owned Right-Wing Radio Stations Like KABC 790 In Los Angeles by Ben F. Terton MAY 5, 2004 – This will be a very short article and to the point. Disney is saying today it will not distribute Michael Moore’s new documentary Fahrenheit 911 because it is politically partisan and Disney doesn’t want to risk offending a group of its audience by taking sides. Well, turn on KABC 790 AM if you are in Los Angeles, or WABC talk radio in New York, or one of several Disney-owned radio stations around the nation and tell me what you find. Yes, that’s right: all right-wing talk all the time. Not only partisan, extremely partisan. Even more, highly derisive of anyone who is not a Bush Republican. Insults. Name calling. Not to mention lies and distortions, hateful partisan attacks, and dishonest smears against Democrats and liberals all day every day.
Yes, it could be described that way, but I'm sure many people at the time did'nt feel that way. It could also be described as a way to supress out of the box ideas and popular rock music lifestyle. Imagine if every american here had nothing to watch but pbs. Although I would fare quite nicely, I'm sure most people would be going out of their minds within hours. I agree, that in the beginning they started BBC for the money--hell, I would. But as time moved on I think other motives came into play. Here's three equally biased web-sites for your reading pleasure. http://www.transdiffusion.org/rmc/offshore/index.asp http://www.cwgsy.net/private/offshorepirateradio/ http://www.geocities.com/gordonbathgateexperience/pirate.html
I think The BBC (reading the history) did attempt to change and be more inclusive ... the thing that winds me up with the multitude of BBC stations is they are all geared to one audience at the same time conflicting with the content of each other (especialy the news). Radio 1 says nothing that radio 4 says so the 'kids' get fed the populist drivel and the 'adults' get the 'clever stuff' . Being slightly in the middle of the 'target audience' i get frustrated with both...because i listen to both. Listen to any news reports on the each station the music dies down and the queens english gets more prounonced it is quite scarey... The BBC is in deep debt but still flings its tenticles onto the world.....Let it become a Business that is not supported by us ... if it sinks fine if it swims fine.
