This was apparently “news worthy” enough for a Radio Biz columnist to write about. Get your duck/duct tape ready.
First thing to know is the “newspaper” reporting this is located in the paradise named Venezuela, which last time I heard Hugo Chavez’s thugs were murdering reporters and others who opposed his “reforms”.
The “study” was from 3 years ago – they cherry picked the shows of Michael Savage, Lou Dobbs and John & Ken in Los Angeles. They picked shows from 3 different days. July 2008 would have been in the heat of the end of the primary season. Comprehensive Immigration “Reform” was a hotly debated topic at the time. I suspect if ai looked back, that was probably when all the headless corpses started showing up as the border towns were losing control to the drug gangs…
I think hate speech is a matter of prospective. If you are a liberal then you would consider Savage, Dobbs or Limbaugh hate speakers. If you were conservative then Ed Shultz, Maddow and other democratic backers hate speakers also. It depends your political viewpoint, after all people supported Hitler during his rise to power.
