Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting has documented that Traffic Directors at ABC affiliates have received memos from several companies including HP and MS that specifically request that their ads not air on Air America with the result, of course, that Air America gets no ad revenue. 90 companies are included in what appears to be an apparent boycott of all Air America Radio affiliates of ABC.
The McCarthyite era, we are told, ended in the 1950s. Clearly, McCarthyism has now been privatized as a tacit CONSPIRACY to exclude all but right-wing views...allowing in fact a wide spectrum of hateful views, allowing in fact monkeyshines and worse that make radio listeners
and phoners into buffoons beneath pity and contempt, but NOT allowing reasonable discussion to a permanent war economy.
Some propose that insofar as possible, Microsoft be boycotted. I will NOT upgrade from the Visual Basic and C# Express products which are free for my own work. I will NOT upgrade to Windows Vista. I will continue to use Open Office despite its slowness and limitations and develop my own SQL parser, or use mySQL, for data base products. I will convert IE to the Mozilla browser named FireFox, ASAP.
