Comments on: Fair Use: Audio v. Print (Blogging Talk Radio Edition) http://poliblogger.com/?p=11327 A rough draft of my thoughts...

I wish it would. But to judge by the rightwing's sulkiness after the Nov. elections, they're more embittered than ever! One of the KSFO talk show hosts refused to apologize for his remarks. I expect these people to be more, not less, violent and derogatory toward their political opponents, because they have suffered a crushing blow, and like a cornered wombat, they're dangerous when wounded.

That is one of the reasons I post using my full name rather than an online identifier. The greatest benefit of this type of recording and forwarding is not getting people in trouble with sponsors but making radio hosts think a little more before opening their mouths. Perhaps this will raise the bar and create a much more civil and informed talk radio world. Being accountable for the things you say is a must for those who want to be taken seriously.
