I recently tried to listen to my favorite progressive radio station, AM 1090 KPTK Seattle and found that corrupt, extreme right-wing companies have replaced Washington state’s only progressive radio station with mindless sports broadcasting.

However, right-wing stations spewing right-wing propaganda are all over the dial and hard to avoid. Since broadcasting licenses are issued to serve the public, we must revoke the license of these corrupt, extreme right-wing companies and bring back balance to our airwaves.

Little by little, Kansas public broadcasters feel the pinch of state budget cuts. At High Plains Public Radio in Garden City, the air sometimes goes dead or programs play twice on consecutive days. In Kansas and across the country, public broadcasters find statehouses reluctant to help with the bills for two reasons: There’s simply less money to spare, and Republican-dominated legislatures see the radio and TV stations as too liberal.

Netanyahu will need to secure a majority of 61 seats in the 120-seat Parliament to stay on as prime minister. With Israel’s left- and right-wing parties in a dead split of 60-60 seats, analysts say securing a majority might be harder than he expected.

Beware the GOP Trojan Horse riding into 2016

With election over, the Republican Party is licking its wounds and mulling over a change in tactics. With no clear, consistent message, the party has decided it might be time to put on a new facade in order to win an election. Mind you, it does not have to be an in-depth change of party beliefs but rather a tweak in image and statements just different enough to fool the people and win an election.
