Ratings on a Curve
Curious to note how the “flagship” Jack Station (for America at least) is doing in the Arbitrons:
A big shout out to Jack in Denver…. which managed to tie for 20th with a 1.8!!
Winter 2005 = 1.8
Fall 2004 = 2.4
Summer 2004 = 2.4
Spring 2004 = 1.2
But the same thread at “pdxradio” informs me that it’s a “rimshot frequency”, which apparently means you must measure the ratings on a curve… or something like that.

The moniker “South Park Republicans / Conservatives” re-emerges as an essay from 2002 is expanded or replayed into a book. (That they mocked the Terri Schiavo situation tells you how full of poppycock the phrase really is.)
The author of the book in question helped answer a question I had been pondering. As per the study showing Fox News viewers having just plain wrong impressions on the war in Iraq… perhaps there are mistakes that the survey left out for, say, the highly-praised NPR listeners.
Apparently not.
The “wrong impressions” Brian Anderson believes should be included that would show NPR listeners’s liberal bias include:
That the US invaded Iraq unilaterally. Yes. No. Fine.
Bush used the phrase “Imminenet Threat”. Well, his legions of suppliers sure did.
Bush said that Saddam tried to purchase uranium from Niger. Fine. He said that the British said that Saddam tried to purchase uranium from Niger. What is your definition of the word “is”?
Fox News loses. NPR wins. Take it from there.
