What Makes Conservatives Think That Their Campaign Of Media Slander Against Ows Is Working?


FACT: The tactics being used by Conservative organizations to discredit the OWS movement through the creation of incidents are essentially identical to the tactics used by police against squatter camps in the novel The Grapes of Wrath.
FACT: Conservative muckracker James O’Keefe was in the Zucotti Park area during the time of the OWS protest. There is video of him in the area and that video was broadcast on Rachel Maddow’s program.
FACT: The photo which appeared in multiple Rupert Murdoch (FOX News) owned outlets proclaimed to be a photo of an OWS protester defecating on a police car was actually taken in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn NY and is actually just a picture of a random homeless person – not someone who is affiliated in any way with the OWS movement.
FACT: In every single incident of violence or looting related to the OWS movement there are multiple eyewitness accounts of the persons who committed the violent acts being strangers to protesters, having a hostile attitude towards the other protesters, and disappearing from the protest area immediately following the acts of violence.
FACT: Conservative media outlets have hyped the negative stories relentlessly and have completely ignored all evidence which suggest that these incidents may be part of a concerted effort by Conservative Republicans to discredit the OWS movement.

Would It Be Illegal To Make A “best Of The Right” Podcast?


I’m a SAH mom, and I LOVE listening to podcasts while I clean, do laundry, garden, etc.
However, the podcasts that I listen to (Free Talk Live, Rachel Maddow and Best of the Left) don’t accurately reflect my conservative/libertarian values…. Although Free Talk Live is pretty close.
Why aren’t there any comparable Republican podcasts? I COULD listen on the radio, but the commercials are forever long, and I don’t really CARE about the traffic, and I don’t want to pay $20 a month to each of the talk show hosts. I like FTL and BOL’s model, you pay if you want to, and they’re also Amazon affiliates, and it works for them.
Just curious, if I recorded the talk shows and cut and pieced together parts of them like Jay from Best of the Left does, and then distributed them as podcasts online, would that be illegal? If so, how does he do that legally?
Thanks!
