Just saw the news directly (or indirectly with a buried lede) from a AETN/ArkansasPBS FB post. Pissing away 60 years of Educational/Public TV legacy to bend the knee to Trump and Governess SHS. Pathetic
Hearing that Arkansas PBS is going to disaffiliate with PBS. This is a tragic loss for our state. Are the studios being overtaken for state-funded Huckabee Bible Hour?
Are there other states that will take us long-time AR PBS supporters in and remove their location restrictions for streaming?

The Starner-Trump presser has been one craptastic fuqup. As expected.

BBC World Service radio reports that a ban on Fiber-based Internet service is being enforced in Afghanistan. The same theocracy where women and girls cannot be educated.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

Fun Facts: Nexstar owns outright or through a shell company "Mission Broadcasting" 2 of the 4 major network affiliates in the Little Rock AR TV market. If the Nexstar-Tegna merger goes through, then Nexstar will own the market's CBS affiliate.
(Little Rock's ABC affiliate is owned by Sinclair).

The coils tighten… ABC is owned by Disney, but many of the ABC affiliates are owned by Nexstar, a company out of TX, the Kimmel thing started with them. Nexstar Media Group CEO Perry A. Sook contributes to Republican political action committees and candidates. Possibly the root of this ABC problem.

What does it say about FBI Director that he doesn't know who Dylan Roof is?
Is it that he really didn't pay attention when it happened? [damning]
Or is it that he thinks it's unimportant an un-apologetic White Supremacist murdered in cold blood an entire bible class of black people? [DAMNING]

You have GOT TO SEE THIS. When asked by the Senate Judiciary Committee about white supremacist Dylan Roof and his horrific antisemitic mass murder, Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, had no clue who that was saying: “I’m sorry, Dylan Ruth?”
Patel is completely in over his head and it shows.

Does it seem to you that Nexstar's NewsNation (dn: WGN America) is a sort of Fox Lite?

Giving the stream of Zoomer Radio from Toronto a listen this morning, and the morning hosts report Breaking News of the death of Robert Redford around 1236UTC. I was hearing Zoomer earlier this morning (pre-dawn in AR) OTA on AM 740 mixing with Con-Talkers KRMG 740 Tulsa (OK) and KTRH 740 Houston.

Giving BBC World Service radio, the old fashioned way--via shortwave, a listen. The 12095KHz transmission via Madagascar is listenable on a home SDR connected to a large magnetic loop receive-only antenna at 0457UTC 16 September 2025 (11:57pm CDT 15 Sept. 2025 Arkansas time).

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

The reason Charlie Kirk is being lionized by so many journalists is simple: he was very good at cultivating journalists and it seems a lot of journalists don't seem to understand the concept of being cultivated as a pet reporter in exchange for scoops or leads. They think he was their friend.

A Thursday Reader for 9/11/2025.
There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

The right wing has all but forgotten about 4/19 (1995), and legally purged by Presidential pardon 1/9 (2021), but still wants to wag on about 9/11 (2001).
4/19 was of course the OKC Bombing.
1/9 the terrorist attack of the US Capitol by a far-right mob of thugs.
