1) Falsely accusing a retired local TV host of scandalous activity.
It's very hard for a public figure to win a libel suit, but this
person prevails in a suit against the radio station because their
aired claims were so outrageous.
2) Falsely claimed a "liberal judged" allowed a deviant child
rapist to move into a community, against the community's wishes.
Did a great job fanning up flames of hate. The truth was that
the person in question was not a child rapist, but a youth
himself.

His seems to be mostly against Democrats in a similar manner as
the hate spouted in this newsgroups against the Republicans.
Both ignore the real problems and, hence, viable solutions.
I don't have quotes; I simply gave you an example of radio
show which is unendurable.

Not really between the main feed and the cellphones in the house we

So we can expect some decent music and a space program in the near

From what I have figured out, the SW broadcasts are more directed than
even in the past. I heard them for about an hour, then they were gone.

Has he called for the slaughter of Democrats? Merely disagreeing with
the Democrat agenda is not "hate." (Though I have known Democrats that
would disagree with this.)

OK, fair enough. The show may well be unendurable (I have not heard it),
but that hardly rises to the level of dispensing hate.

And you see that. Jimmie Rodgers sang "the blues", Louis Armstrong even
played on some of his recordings. Jimmie's considered the start of
"country music".
There is overlap. The early Carter Family recordings could classify as
"folk", as does Woody Guthrie. Marketing seems to determine why one is
one and the other another.

Indeed. If you talk to some neighbours you may easily have 5 different
paths to the Internet between you. 2 different mobile carriers, and
DSL plus Fiber, a few times over, may be pretty widespread. Having
the passwords for neighbours WiFi may be a saving grace when you have
your copper or fiber cut. Or the ISP is having issues.

Or its offshoot, bluegrass. Jimmie Rodgers is a hero among grassers.

Not if you have even half a clue about the basics.

Yeah, half my neighbours quite literally do that with mine

That is similar to an old joke I read: "You're contradicting
yourself. First, you say your best friend ran off with your wife.
Then, you claim you never met the guy."

Speaking of unenurable: Those "reality" TV shows are unendurable!!! And
I've been in the hospital enough that I really do *not* need to see any
medical or trauma TV shows!!! On broadcast TV in the US, it seems many of
the commercials are for prescription drugs and people who have devastating
diseases!!!
When I watch TV, I'd like it to be a pleasant experience. I'm in for a
mystery or a comedy show (except the "off the wall" type of comedy, which
seems to be common.) I'd like to see some pleasant commercials for dish
soap or diapers or soda pop. Get all those sickness commercials away from
me!!!

All the reasonably developed areas I have studied (and I have a
quite vide view) have at least three different physical comms
links to any municipality. Not primarily from redundant design,
but from competition.
Here is a reasonably good example.
I live around 35 km outside Oslo, 55 by the shortest road. (it
is on the other side of the fjord). The municipality has around 20k
inhabitants, around 5500 of them live within a mile of me.
The municipality is known for the alternative lifestyle, with
the Muni Council full of hippies and artists. They are utterly
clueless when it comes to any kind of infrastructure.
Still, there are 5 separate IP networks here, with completely
separate links out.
The Cable operator, GET, has a fiber-to-the-curb network designed
to deliver ~100 channels of teevee plus some gigabits of data.
Classic docsis. The network is just an extension (over fiber) of
what they do inside the city. IP is just an addon. I used the
15/35 (up/down) option when I had this.
There is a classic DSL network built by the incumbent, closely
following the phone network. It uses the fiber put in for the
phones, but has long-ish distances between DSLAMs. I used a
256k/1.2M subscription as a backup for the cable one; the cable
ones was sufficiently unstable to have a need for such.
Then there is the all-new FTTH network, built by the other part
of the incumbent, DWDM, very nice, stays up through 16 hours
of total electricity blackouts, separate fiber connections in
a separate AS IP network.
Then there are the two mobile operators. These are mostly fed
by radio from two+two municipal hubs, with separate sea cables
to give uplinks.
The hubs stay up for a long time, but the distribution nodes
last for around 3 hours.

Ditto. Which is why we don't have broadcast TV installed. It is IP, all
of it. Apple TV, Chromecast and a generic Linux server all feed their
respective HDMI ports on the TV. We do get the national public TV and
Netflix, HBO and the free channels. That gives us more than our normal
share of entertainment and news. And there are no ads. Just 15 megabits
of bandwidth, needing a FTTH or cable link.
No ads.

Yeah, we have 3 mobile/cellphone networks, two DSL providers
who have their own DSLAMS etc and of course the fixed landline
phone service as well. And with FTTN going in this year and with
another wireless broadband service as well. And with the satellite
service as well.

I thought that was a Boz Scagg's song.
Not really, but I did hear his version before I knew anything about Jimmie
Rodgers.

And I was trying to figure out what the nitpicking was about before.
"Rumania" is probably one of those countries like "Brungaria" in the Tom
Swift Jr. books. I think when I read them as a kid, I didn't realize it
wasn't a real country. But I'm not sure, I thought they were "Bungarians"
which of course sounds a lot like "Bulgarians" so I may have done a
translation in my head. I certainly did read "Eastern European" in the
country's name.
But they have the fake country so any claims can be denounced later. Kind
of like putting at the start of a film "all events are fictional and do
not represent real life" or however the wording is. When they turned the
EL Doctorow book "Book of Daniel" into a movie, it had that wording at the
start, but they filmed the real June 12th 1982 nuclear disarmament rally
in New York City for the film, and that really existed. I also remember
starting to watch Law & Order on tv because they had an episode based on
a real fugitive who had been caught for some other reason decades later.

Yup, did that one. Also "In the Jailhouse Now".

Interesting - that was the first place I heard it too. It's the first
track on Boz Scaggs' first album (which he recorded for Atlantic,
before moving to Columbia).

Yes, I had that one going through my head while reading this thread.
In fact, I once saw Steve Goodman live sometime after this amendment
was made, and he filled in the remaining missing item:
"My old dog got drunk and died the day my mom got out of prison..."
Many moons ago, Malcolm L. Carlock posted this variant on alt.slack
under the subject line "Cthulhu & Western":
I was drunk the day old 'Lu got out of prison
I tried to get down to see him on somethin' that'd float
But before I could get my shoggoth down to R'lyeh
Ol' Cthulhu got run down by a damned old boat!
Oh, he'll stay around just as long as he feels like
Unless the Elder Gods show up on this plane
I:a! I:a! Phn'glwi, Cthulhu fhtagn!
Be careful when you call him by his name.

NASA is not going back to the Moon but its children are. Moon Express
plans to land on the Moon next year.

It is the internet that is the single point of failure. Countries can
restrict it to a single entry point. China is working on this.

Miniskirts are back. Although wearing trousers at the same time may not
be an improvement.
