Crushing Of Dissent

They told me that if Bush was reelected, voices of opposition would be silenced. They were right:

The deal with WIOD would ensure that news conferences are broadcast start to finish live from the county Emergency Operations Center in Plantation. Emergency managers became concerned during hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 that radio and television stations preempted their announcements in favor of news out of Miami.

Limbaugh, who lives in Palm Beach, could not be reached for comment. Ken Charles, WIOD’s director of AM programming, said the station’s talk show lineup has no relationship with its news coverage and that the county should focus on the benefits of teaming with the station.

“It’s a shame that people would let politics get in the way of saving lives in a hurricane,” Charles said.

Yes, it is a shame, but that’s the way of the Bush (and Limbaugh) deranged among whom I live. I think they’re still upset because they can’t figure out how to vote properly.
