Salt Lake City blowtorch KSL-AM (and its FM siblings) are said to be ending their relationship with conservative Fox News Channel/Premiere Radio Networks personality Sean Hannity, on grounds that he doesn’t fit in with the Latter Day Saints code of conduct.

Thought this was great news, however, the other guys on this channel are equally moronic, so I hope there is huge shake up based on this line of reasoning.

Nor does Beck with his constant profanity (he cusses more than Hannity) and his use of mocking and sexual innuendo ..........but I doubt the same will be said about him

Not only that, but here's what I'd like to know... is KSL-TV going to stop airing those filthy soap operas that have been running for over 30 years now? Probably not... too much money involved in advertising. This decision with Hannity was most likely a financial one... his ratings/listenership must have been declining (which is good news). Bill O'Reilly is another right-wing nut who bleeds red and despises blue. I think people are beginning to wake up to the deceptions and propaganda of the mainstream media.

Maybe the ldsliberty folks could fill the time slot. 8)

I am down with that. They have a wonderful show. Jeremy was the one that told me about LDS Freeman and about this Forum.

I'd rather listen to Hannity than Doug Wright.

Yes! I think it would be great to have JC and Jeremy take the LDS Liberty Podcast to a live radio show.

Anything has to be better than Hannity, but the LDSLiberty folks really turned me off with their take on Immigration last week, which was way off the mark doctrinally, and logically.

"Way off"? How so?

Ya, how so? It's easy just to say "they were way off" without actually explaining...

RATHER THAN HIJACKING THIS THREAD... I've started a new one to address the LDS Liberty Podcast episode on Immigration: http://www.ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopi ... =1&t=12439

I didn't HIJACK THIS THREAD!, I responded to someone's comments who brought up the LDSLiberty podcast, and since that topic came up here I responded. However, seeing how it was you that I disagreed with, I can understand why you would be so defensive. I responded on the other thread.

I know too many people that take the right wing gospel as proposed by Sean Hannity because he's on KSL. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I mean, er, a "great American" like Sean Hannity. He's the biggest water carrier for the GOP.

So who will they replace him with? Harry Reid come November?

Actually, I wasn't accusing you of hijacking the thread. I simply wanted to start a discussion of the episode you mentioned - Instead of me, or anyone, hijacking this thread, I started a new one: http://www.ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopi ... =1&t=12439

holyhabanero wrote:I didn't HIJACK THIS THREAD!

I don't think that is what was implied...

if you and LDS Conservative started a conversation about immigration, you both would be hijacking the thread. I think he started the other thread to prevent a discussion from spawning... that's all. You didn't hijack it, but it could have lead to that...

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

I'd turn 'em both off.

Hannity is nothing but a money-sucking opportunist and right-wing nut. He wouldn't know the truth or speak it if it hit him in the face and when he came to Salt Lake a few years back to 'debate' Mayor Rocky Anderson, he showed up totally unprepared with only a few videos of soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan and got schooled by Rocky, but he was laughing all the way to the bank! He's a closet Patriot and is nothing but a yes man for the red party.

Agreed. There are few people that bug me as much as Rocky Anderson, but Hannity was a joke and anyone unable to see that Anderson wiped the floor with him must be drowning in the koolaid.

sorry if this is considered hijacking, but i have a question pertaining to things said here. My wife likes to listen to these "nuts" and sometimes i'll listen as well. They do seem a little overbearing at times, i agree.

i'm wondering about the "right wing nut" comments. I thought we were all (most of those on this forum) accused of such a thing. or am i missing something? are we something else? I personally disagree with most everything that the "left" stands for. And i agree with much of what the "right" "tells" me, for the most part...I think. some things im not generally sure of.

So where, as a good latter day saint, should i stand? these "nuts" aren't perfect for sure. infact, on the way home, my wife had the radio tuned to her talk show and i think levinn was on. some guy said one sentence and Levinn was on him like a rat on a chitto. man, he was calling him a moron and all sorts of things in a long screaming stream. it was a little humorous, but mostly uncomfortable.

I think they were what started me opening my eyes to our situation. actually obama was, and these guys speak out against him...

I just find myself perplexed at who i should look to. Especially when comments about them are made. Am i a complete blind moron for listening to these shows?

EVERY, and I mean EVERY radio talk show host has a job to distract you. they are sirens calling you, giving you bits of truth so that they can distract you, teach you to call people names when they disagree with you, put you in a false left/right frame of mind. Making you see the sides of the world events they want you to, making it a which version of big government do you prefer.

resist the temptation, and listen to hymns, scriptures on CD, etc instead. Benson said you can learn more about current events from the Book of Mormon than from the newspaper anyway. So to get keep up today on current events, just pop in the Book of Mormon on CD

I agree and I'll add more.

I listen to talk radio until I hear one of the following:
1. Republican (or GOP)
2. Democrat
3. Liberal
4. Conservative
5. Bipartisan (interesting how you never hear polypartisan)

When I hear one of those words, I change the station. As you can imagine, I usually only listen to a few minutes of talk radio per week. Those words are divisive and are used by the talking heads as distractions, taking the focus away from the issue, attacking the perennial straw man that is the two-party illusion. If talk radio were to consist of sincere, intelligent, articulate individuals debating controversial topics in a dispassionate tone, then I would listen.

you and about 4 other people

I agree with you though

Look to yourself.

Form your own opinions. Pay attention to what people (like politicians) say and/or do, then watch them for a bit, and come to your own conclusions about them. No one should look to another to "tell them how and what to think".

Good feedback, thanks all. I guess I better fiend a better source to get info. The scriptures are great, and I agree I should use them more. However, I don't see how they are going to help me know when someone is lying about a certain issue happening right now.

thats what I've listened to the talk shows for; for info on the schemes, and being able to see the bigger picture. I guess they could be lying about the bigger picture too...

wow good thing I have you guys/gals
