JIM TRAFICANT
WILL BE FILLING IN
FOR DAN RIVERS
10:00 TO NOON
RADIO 570
WKBN
SEPTEMBER 14, 2008
??? QUESTION ???
Did Tod screen out calls that were critical of Traficant?
REVIEW --- Boring! It was nothing more than a Traficant love fest.
No, Jimbo said on the air that he told Tod to let everyone through.
I found the show quite enlightening and educational. Its been so long that I forgot some of what Jim had done for the valley while in Congress.
I know what he said, and I also know that upper management was in the control room with Tod.
The only calls Jim took were pro-Traficant, and I find it difficult to believe that the vast majority of the listeners were pro-Traficant.
Mangino took an interesting poll that showed that 75% of those who took the on-line poll were pro-traficant.
That might say something favoring Traficant.
If 75% were favorable toward Traficant being on WKBN then I see that it would not be a stretch for all the calls to be pro Traficant. One thing that I noticed when listening to him today that he sure sounds like a conservative! Isn't it amazing how we claim to be a Democrat stronghold but the most popular politican in recent history in this Valley has such conservative views. It just reinforces what I have long thought, that this area really is conservative but have voted Democrat so long that they know how to do nothing else.
BTW, I found a site with the text of his one minute speeches:

I guess that leaves Dennis out in the cold along with The Vindicator.
