Raymond Arroyo is a Catholic Radio and TV news host. He asked Pat Buchanan what should be done with Moslems suing Catholic Colleges to get rid of Catholic religious decorations. From Buchanan:
Appearing the other night on the Catholic network EWTN, I was asked by Raymond Arroyo what should be done about Muslim students at Catholic University demanding that the school provide them with prayer rooms, from which crucifixes and all other Catholic symbols that they found offensive had been removed.
Now here is the problem, no Moslem is making any such complaint. We might think Arroyo is simply ignorant, except too much Catholic Radio and TV in general, and Arroyo in particular, spew a constant stream of hate towards Moslems, and cast so much in anti-Moslem rhetoric. Catholic Radioman Al Kresta is as active, and when not directly anti-Moslem, "Catholic Answers" comes down pro-military, which today is tantamount to "kill Moslems."
There was a famous Catholic radio preacher of hate, back when Jews were the target, by the name of Coughlin on which the Church eventually pulled the plug. It's the same thing, just this time it is Moslems. It's time to follow the money and see who the piper is calling these tunes. Like most media, radio is under a contrived regime of shortage, so it is kept expensive. You need a license to be on the airwaves, and funding. With this regime, the government controls what is said.
Now do not assume that this means Limbaugh, Kresta, Arroyo and other hate-talk radiomen are told what to say. Not at all. That is just the point, they do not need to be told what to say, they really believe this stuff. They are selected for their history of saying what they say. Get a line-up of such govt-pleasing talkers, and licensing and funding follows.
When outed as a CIA operative, Gloria Steinem assured one and all she was never asked to report on progressives. As documents demonstrate, the CIA never had to ask.
If we pull the plug on govt control, as we did on telephones in 1980, who knows what wonders would follow, just as the entirely unexpected internet burst forth from the newly free world of telecommunications.
Hate radio is the rot that seeps from govt control, and can be cured by freedom, but first people need to shake free the social conditioning that radio must be controlled by govt...
From another essay:
As to radio, it is an invention. 100 years ago the invention was in a stone age form. The government locked down the invention. So entire swathes of band are allocated to one owner. This is madness.
Think of a sine wave of a radio frequency, with its up and down pattern. There is no reason why radio transmitters cannot be designed to separate out the wave upswing with the wave downswing for reception of signal, and then build the reception with that half of the wave. It would be a mere improvement on what we have now. It is in fact exactly how your computer works. An email is broken into many packets as it goes out, and on the other end a computer reassembles the parts into a coherent message.
Now, if you can wrap your brain around cutting a band wave in two, then you can see how where we allocate certain bandwidth to one radio station now, we can split it in two so we can serve two radio stations. Call it AM 1000 a and AM 1000 b. Same bandwidth, just double the capacity. Old radios might no longer work (or someone would come up with an adapter) but we have plenty of old computers that do not work either, because they cannot handle the internet, a new invention.
Once you understand we can cut bandwidth in two, then you see we can cut that in two also. So, one channel, two channels, four channels, eight channels, 16 channels, 32 channels... on to infinity, for that one dedicated channel of bandwidth. That is to say, radio is an infinite resource, limited only by mans desire to exploit. The price of something with infinite supply is very cheap.
Right now you have few options on the dials, so if hate radio is the best there is, you're kinda stuck listening to that. Free radio and who would be listening to such rot?
