- Anti-gay attorney convicted on child porn charges. There's a twist; the attorney is female and she videotaped--a number of times--two men "having sex" with her daughter. From AlterNet, which got it from Southern Poverty Law Center.
- Talk show host quits.
Wow. The guy who never met a tax or regulation he couldn’t slam, who devoted his career to selling free market snake oil, who promoted the Tea Party every chance he got? That guy? He appears completely oblivious to the fact that the very policies he promotes has created an environment of corporate consolidation, which actually suppresses free markets and free speech.
Southern Beale for the win. - Also (same source), the hoped-for slow demise of toxic talk:
...[I]nflammatory style has driven advertisers away from talk radio programming in general, and it’s hurting smaller players as well as the big guys. I’m not surprised, are you? So much political talk radio is toxic, and no advertiser wants to be the target of boycotts, constantly drawn into one national battle after another, forced to pick a side in the culture wars or debates over climate change. That’s the very stuff advertisers want to stay away from — at least publicly.
