Obama Declares Talk-Radio Ratings “Racists”
Last year a fraud-proof radio rating system made it’s debut. It automatically and passively records what radio station someone is listing to without any work on the listener’s part.
Not only is this recording more accurate, but it is also fraud proof.
As the new system was implemented, conservative talk-radio stations surged in the ratings. (It’s now estimated that Rush Limbaugh is heard by up to 50 million people a day).
However, hip-hop stations (that have been found to encourage over-reporting in the diary format) saw their ratings plummet.
Many liberal talk-radio programs also noticed a sharp decrease in listeners as the new ratings system was deployed. Al Sharpton’s syndicated radio show was cut from many markets due to lack of listeners.
Now the Obama administration is calling the new system ‘racist.’ At the behest of the Obama administration, the FCC is opening an official probe into the matter. Obama claims,
The concern is that ethnic minorities will be less willing to wear the PPM device than whites.
Good grief.
