… channels Obamessiah while regaling members of the National Association of Broadcasters of radio’s history and then pleading with them to lead the benighted, bitter American hoi polloi to true [Leftist] enlightenment.
Radio has come a long way from the early days when family’s gathered around the trusty old Philco to listen to such programs as Superman, Sherlock Holmes and Amos and Andy. Thanks to music and sound effects, this magical medium was able to transport families to a place where a man could fly, a brilliant detective could solve the most perplexing of crimes, and two white guys could portray ridiculously offensive black stereotypes for the amusement of millions.
The first broadcast occurred on Christmas Eve in 1906 at Brant Rock, MA, when a man named Fessenden played his violin, sang a song and read Bible verses into a wireless telephone of his own invention. His goal was to find financial backers, but no investor of the day believed that radio could ever replace the most popular leisure activity of the day; listening to the hoot owl while playing the zither as your 14-year-old niece bounced on your knee. Some of you may remember. It was all the rage in the early century.
But soon broadcasting over the radio caught on and zither playing and child molestation were a thing of the past.

So, does Robbins think Murrow’s anti-Nazi attitude was a good thing? Or was Murrow an example of the way the MSM has always been part of the War Party? Murrow certainly did not live up to the standard of journalistic objectivity we have today, in which Islamic head-hackers cannot be called terrorists.

Hey, if people don’t want to hear the liberal side of the debate on talk radio, how does Mr. Sarandon explain the staggering success of Air America?
Oh, wait…

Does it really matter what Tim Robbins thinks, on any subject outside hitting his mark and delivering his fucking line?

I don’t care what anyone says, I think it’s about time that someone finally stood up in front of the national media and said “cocksuckers.”
No, not just “cocksuckers,” but “Die, you nazi cocksuckers!”
That’s telling them!
Good job, Mr. Robbins.

mojo,
Apparently so, to the National Association of Broadcasters. Which reflects on them as much as him.

Ah, those were the Salad Days of Bu$hitler’s AmeriKKKa, when Mr. Sarandon was being silenced to the degree that he could only sound the message that a “chill wind” was “blowing” in this fascist country in front of the National Press Club.
One can only assume that he’s been let out of the Re-education Camp to speak to the media again after officially recanting his previous beliefs, right?
Right? Because, if the secret terror apparatus let him go without sufficient reconditioning, I’m really starting to question how effective our whole “shredding the Constitution” initiative has been.

- “….which began to mature during World War II with the regular reports of the bombing of London by Edward R. Murrow,”
- Hey. I didn’t know Morrow bombed London. Damn British government…. Hid another conspiracy from us all these years.
- So Robbins thinks the Nazi’a were ok guys, just badly misunderstood. My guess is she won’t put out until he delivers one of these self-humiliating speeches, After she makes him dress up in the swastika and jackboots and scream SEIG HEIL MIEN FURUR! at the magic moment.
- OTOH, it must be tough, keeping the names of two B-list actor has-beens in the Hollywood spotlight.

I hesitate to make any disparaging comments about Mr. Robbins, as I am sure his stance on inclusiveness extends to his swanky, high-falootin’ Hollywood parties. And I’ve got a leisure suit that’s been waiting for the perfect soiree.

I find gun toting projecting channeling disturbing.

I thought Robbins was great in Team America.

Did anyone give any reason why he was hired? Did he agree to bus tables after the event or something?

Meanwhile, back stage, various NAB leg-breakers were administering a Sin-City-style ass-kicking to the Delta-Minus who contracted with Timmeh to deliver this flapdoodle to the assembled throng.
