    From the Rawstory<a href="http://">http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Colbert_mocks_OReilly_outrage_at_DailyKos_0726.html</a> comes a little something about Daily Kos: Colbert: Bill O'Reilly thinks Daily Kos is 'like the Ku Klux Klan'

    Thanks, but you misunderstand the gist of what I am saying. I'm certainly <strong>not</strong> saying that the Netroots activists are lined up behind Hillary for President at the moment, although IF she is the Dem candidate in 08 that is exactly what would happen, obviously, since the Netroots are hardcore anti-Republican. The question I raise is 'where are the Netroots now on ending the war in Iraq?' especially as the November 2008 election looms larger and closer and the war drags on. Will the overwhelmingly partisan Democratic Netroots take their cue on the war from the candidates, their campaign managers, and the Dem leadership, or will the Netroots themselves be a critical part of the citizen leadership in the splintered movement to end the war? This is a very important question, especially given the failure of the Netroots and the anti-war movement to hold the Congress accountable so far regarding ending the war. These questions are very important to discuss, and I'm looking forward to our "Breakfast with the Troops" where I'm sure they will be examined. 9am Sunday, August 5, Yearly Kos. Be there. Regarding Hillary, there is a very good chance that she will be the Democratic nominee and of course at that moment I have no doubt that the overwhelmingly Dem partisan Netroots will work like heck for her election over any Republican.

    and I think it's fairly obvious that the netroots isn't looking for a Democratic version of the war. You'll find far more people at DailyKos cheering Kucinich for telling Bush to use his current funding to buy their tickets home than you will find supporting Hillary. To be honest, Hillary's decision to attend YearlyKos can be compared to a person with open wounds diving into a shark tank.

    I actually am defending Sky Radio because this is not traditional media and found it to be an effective medium for my company to get my word out to a captive business audience.

    I understood it to be an advertorial and don't feel I was deceived in anyway because I understood this to be another marketing tool to help build exposure for my firm.

    Sky Radio delivers a high quality editorially driven show and doesn't have the sponsorship of companies' ad dollars like a traditional tv, radio programming. You also have to keep in mind regular tv, radio, print outlets are also subject to their advertisers in terms of content being produced.

    The role of advertising was instrumental in the mass adoption of TV’s in the 1940’s and 50’s. It was ad dollars that financed the national network build-out.

    At least with this vehicle, I am able to spin the message I'd like to without the constraints of a traditional media outlet that wants to garner higher ratings for their own purposes.

    Sky Radio has its place for the business audience.
