Traficant Talk

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

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 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.

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.

  QUESTION 

Did Tod screen out calls that were critical of Traficant?

REVIEW --- Boring! It was nothing more than a Traficant love fest.
