Kansas City radio station agrees to broadcast Russian-owned ‘propaganda’ program

RM Broadcasting LLC, a Florida-based company that has agreements to broadcast the Russian state media program Radio Sputnik, reached a deal on Jan. 1 to lease air time through Alpine Broadcasting Corp. in Liberty. Alpine Broadcasting Corp. broadcasts on three frequencies in the Kansas City area: KCXL 1140 AM, 102.9 FM and 104.7 FM.

The lease agreement lets RM Broadcasting air its programming from 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. seven days a week. KCXL’s website, which says that it’s the radio station that will “tell you the things that the liberal media wont [sic] tell you,” lists Radio Sputnik in its morning programming.

A 2017 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that evaluated Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election described Sputnik as “another government-funded outlet producing pro-Kremlin radio and online content in a variety of languages for international audiences.”

Sorry, your line is supposed to be "The media are the enemy of the people."

He's apparently upset that my reaction to the story was not to call for government censorship of the freedom of the press (i.e. to tear up the First Amendment), or some sort of violent protest, so he had to make up that reaction himself.

The state of radio programming in the Kansas City area (where I live) is so bad that my excellent FM tuner sits disconnected. I rarely listen to radio. This should bring things up at least half a notch...but even broadcasting static would be an improvement.

I appreciate that our struggle against totalitarian state communism was not entirely untainted by material self interest.

But I'm a little disturbed by the implication that there were no valid matters of principle involved.

Sorry to disappoint you 2 but I support the KKK being able to hold rallies without the government censoring them. Let'm speak and prove by themselves the wrongness of their ideas.....

Evidently this has turned into just another "Liberals are evil!" thread.

They're not?.....Man now I have to go back and rethink all my preconceived notions from listening to hours of conservative talk radio and reading conservative media. I better get started....it is going take me five or maybe ten seconds to do that.....
Sorry guys, couldn't help myself....slow afternoon.....

One of my contenders? Funny. Here is my voting record for the last six Presidential elections. 1992 George H.W. Bush, 1996 Bob Dole, 2000 John McCain in primary, held nose and voted George W Bush, 2004 George W Bush, 2008 Mike Huckabee in primary because John McCain chickened out and did not campaign in Michigan but held my nose again and voted McCain, 2012 Rick Santorum in the primary and Mitt Romney-care , 2016 Ted Cruz in the primary and did not vote for President because there were two Democrats on the ballot.

Man, I had to clean this one up so much that I can't provide a link to it......

A far-left campaign staffer for Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was busted in an undercover video that was released on Tuesday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas in which the campaign staffer advocated for using violence against people who exercised their free speech rights, suggested that Soviet gulags were not bad, and that Sanders’ free education policies are about mass indoctrination.

The sting video showed journalists from Project Veritas questioned Sanders Iowa Field Organizer Kyle Jurek in a variety of settings where Jurek repeatedly appears to advocate for violence and extremism.

Jurek said that “(#) cities burn” if President Donald Trump is re-elected, that Trump supporters should essentially be re-educated, and that Sanders’ free education plan is about indoctrinating people.

“There’s a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right?” Jurek said. “And actually, gulags were a lot better than what the CIA has told us that they were. Like, people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were actually meant for like re-education.”

Jurek repeatedly talked about violence against police if Sanders does not win the Democratic nomination, saying “the cops are gonna be the ones that are getting (#) beaten in Milwaukee. ”

Transcript of the video clip:

Journalist: So if Trump gets re-elected, what?

Jurek: (the) cities burn.

Journalist: Do you even think, that some of these like, MAGA people could be “re-educated?”

Jurek: I mean, we gotta try, so like, in Nazi Germany after the fall of the Nazi party there was (a) ton of the populace that was (all) Nazified. Germany had to spend billions of dollars re-educating their people to not be Nazis. Like, we’re probably going to have to do the same (stinking) thing here. That’s kind of what Bernie’s whole (program is) like, “hey, free education for everybody!” because we’re going to have to teach you to not be a (#) Nazi. … There’s a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right? And actually, gulags were a lot better than what the CIA has told us that they were. Like, people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were actually meant for like re-education. … Greatest way to break (a) billionaire of their like privilege and they idea that they’re superior, go out and break rocks for 12 hours a day. You’re now a working class person and you’re going to (#) learn what that means, right?

Jurek: If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination or it goes to a second round at the DNC convention, (the city of) Milwaukee will burn. It’ll start in Milwaukee and then when they (#), and when the police push back on that, other cities will just (boom) [explosion sound and gesture].

Jurek: Be ready to be in Milwaukee for the DNC convention. That’s all I’m gonna say.

Jurek: And if your speech is calling for the elimination of people based on race, or gender, or religious like for whatever reason, things that people can’t change, then you should expect a (#) in violent reaction and you deserve a violent reaction.

Jurek: Be ready to be in Milwaukee for the DNC convention. We’re gonna make 1978 [1968] look like a (#) girl scout (#) cookout. The cops are gonna be the ones that are getting (#) beaten in Milwaukee.

So don't joke too much about "Dear Leader"....some of you may be actually helping to elect him.....

I wonder if this Jurek character ever read Gulag Archipelago or One day in the Life of Ivan Densovich?....written by someone who was actually there.

Parentheses are where I deleted and inserted words or # to clean it up.....gotta go wash my eyes.....

"a campaigner".

Wow

Nobody ever said otherwise. If you could please stop attributing views to me that I don't hold, I would much appreciate it.
