Salem Media--We need to know more (Semi-Vanity)

I invite FReepers to discuss what they know about Salem Media and Salem Cimmunications. From what I can find out, they are owned by the GOPe and in turn own Mark Levin, Beck and Erikson and probably Limbaugh. It is chilling to see our "heroes@ cheer on our disenfranchisement. The conservative treehouse is a small venue, but would appear to be on top of this issue.

Rush is syndicated by Premiere Networks who also syndicate a number of other hosts. It is owned by I Heart Media (Formerly Clear Channel) in Texas.

[Steely Tom]

I listen to Limbaugh’s first hour a couple times a week.

Leven and Beck I never listen to. Who has time for nutcases?

Erickson’s boring.

Nice find.....it is chilling.

[true believer forever]

I think another important question is who funds Conservative Review and Levin Tv. Mark Levin is hysterically anti Trump and I think it must have something to do with his new venue and who is funding it.

[true believer forever]

What do you mean by Salem is owned by the GOPe ... who are the principals, etc., do you know?

[ObamahatesPACoal]

They have a bunch of computer nerds who saw there was a market for fake conservative pundits moreso they genunine liberal pundits.

Marco Rubio
If Jeb collapses, Rubio inherits his money, orgnaization, and unifies Neocon Review, Weakly Standard, and the entire Salem Communications propaganda network behind him.

Michael Savage: Mark Levin sounds like Fredo, “should get a vocal chord transplant”

“He’s beneath me…”

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I know that I no longer read Town Hall or Hotair.com. Hotair.com switched to a Facebook comment system, and their threads are a fraction of what they used to be.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They do not own Limbaugh or Levin (though Levin’s show is carried on many of their stations).

Hosts on their payroll include such well-known RINOS as Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved (though I suppose one could forgive Medved when you consider just how left-wing the guy had been earlier in his life).

Others include Mike Gallagher and Dennis Prager, who mainly focuses on issues of cultural rot and decay as opposed to pure politics. Larry Elder recently joined them as well.

[zerosix]

Gee, some people or a person, get together, buy radio stations that are for sale, by FCC rules, then bid on shows like Rush, Levin, Beck or whomever is national that they bet will earn lots of ads and make money, while filling in air time with local guys and gals they believe will also do well.

Isn't this living the American Dream?

What is UN-American about that?

You grew up watching far too many Oliver Stone(d) conspiracy movies!

[Liz]

We buy them up——good idea.

Except I loved O/S’s “Wall Street” movie.

[jacknhoo]

Salem is a very powerful entity comprised of media “elites” that is self-serving and quite anti-American and in bed with the RINO establishment. They call themselves Christian and conservatives, but that only stands when it is beneficial to their holding onto power. Crosswalk.com, GodVine.com, Christianity.com, BibleStudyTools.com, TownHall.com, HotAir.com, RedState.com, Human Events.com, the Conservative Book Club, and Regnery Publishing and most conservative radio talk.

They do have a ton of people working for/with them. They have talking heads Michelle Maulkin, Eric Erickson, Michael Graham, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt, etc...when they endorsed Cruz they instruct their talking heads how to discuss Cruz and their talking heads fall in line like the lemmings they are.

Thanks Mamzelle.

>> What do you mean by Salem is owned by the GOPe <<

What a naive question! You should know that any so-called "conservative" who dares utter criticism of Mr. Trump is, axiomatically, a RINO hack and a shill for the GOPe. All else follows from that foundational principle.

Welcome to The New World of Trumpistical Logic.

Then there is Cumulus Media (Radio) which does the actual broadcasting through some 400+ radio stations.

[Mark was here]

Salem Media switched Hot Air to a Facebook commenting system, in order to stifle conservative viewpoints. They are pure trash and not worth looking at.

[TomGuy]

who funds Conservative Review and Levin Tv.

Had to chuckle when Levin announced his LevinTV and then said he 'wasn't in it for the money.' Next, he said the subscription is only $69/year or $7.99/month.

[Mark was here]

Glad to know Hot Air is dropping, have not been back to check. I used to like them.

[Mamzelle]

One of the Oligarch-estab outfits has just purchased a big pile of Levun’s books.
