I tuned into the Portland State football broadcast a few minutes ago on local radio, the first time I've ever bothered.I couldn't handle it. The broadcast is carried by an outfit that bills itself as "Freedom 970."
Over and over and over, hammering the word like a sacred cudgel, "Freedom," broadcasting some of the most god-awful right-wing propaganda I have ever had the displeasure of listening to.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for freedom. But the word itself will not suffice. The very word has become a refuge for a criminal breed of scoundrels, obfuscatory liars, and outright freaks.
I'm trying to listen to a goddamn football game and you'll see me in hell before I ever tune in again. What a disgrace.
Portland State, you ought to be ashamed! You've lost me as a supporter of the PSU Vikings football program.
And 970 AM, go shit on yourselves.
