ABC memo reveals Air America advertiser blacklist
An internal ABC Radio Networks memo obtained by Media Matters for America, originally from a listener to The Peter B. Collins Show, indicates that nearly 100 ABC advertisers insist that their commercials be blacked out on Air America Radio affiliates. According to the memo, the advertisers insist that “NONE of their commercials air during AIR AMERICA programming.” Among the advertisers listed are Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, General Electric, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and the U.S. Navy.
Many Utah Bloggers are authoring pieces on One Utah.
One Utah is widely read and is growing fast. Pieces invoke thought and engaging and lively online discussion. Check it out!
One of the questions I was asked today in my interview was what solution I would suggest for the media who thinks that they have just so much time to cover candidates, thus their “solution” to create thresholds.
My answer was something to the effect that I do not agree with thresholds and that the media needs to examine its practices so that all candidates are covered equally.
I wish I would have been quick enough to think to say that the media needs to take all the time it calculates it has time for to cover candidates and divide that up equally amongst all canidates.
Simple, isn’t it?

Today I was interviewed by Jennifer Napier-Pearce for her podcast program called Inside Utah. I was interviewed on the upcoming rally to advocate for the Media to provide fair election coverage of all candidates.
It will be posted on Friday to the Inside Utah site.

Spotted on 10/19, by an eagle-eyed Wonkette reader: The Mid-Atlantic Shredding Services truck making its way up to the Cheney compound at the Naval Observatory.
Fun fact: Mid-Atlantic Shredding Services has been contracted by the Secret Service for our Executive Branch’s record-not-keeping needs.
The present contractor providing Pickup & Destruction of Sensitive Waste Material services is Mid Atlantic Shredding Services and the current rate is $0.095 cents per lbs.
You better get crackin’, Dick — that evidence won’t destroy itself!

From the Salt Lake County Elections Website:
Early Voting
The Clerk’s Office provides voters the option of voting prior to Election Day at an Early Voting Location. Voters do not need an excuse to utilize this convenient voting method.
