| Post subject: | up in Milwaukee, Karmazin buys WTMJ |
https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertai ... 848437002/ Pretty remarkable rise from buying a sports-talk daytimer in Waukesha to the station of record in Milwaukee radio. (Helps when your dad ran Infinity.) It positively blows my mind that little old WAUK would one day acquire TMJ. I never would have predicted that when I was a little kid running around the old cinderblock shack behind the Wal-Mart at 59 and 164. But aside from that, this could be a huge strike against the WTMJ/WISN Scott Walker Propaganda Machine. I can't imagine that this crew wants to be a part of that ugliness. I'd have posted this over at MSFMB instead but that board was created in part to keep me out. |

It's funny how some there got really petty about who should've been invited to join. The petty one who didn't want me invited, well she was funny. But then KS & Kid deleted her remarks just after the invitation. But a bit late. |

I'm not going to dispute your Walker Propaganda machine comment...I'll give you it is there. As someone who lives on the IL / WI border and works in Milwaukee I can say with great certainty I hear / see more of the "Fire Walker" propaganda machine. That voice has been loud for many years and the guy is still in office. Maybe....just maybe, WI more conservative than people want to accept. They sure as hell take a good amount of pride in NOT being Illinois. |

The tone of your post, "maybe Wisconsin is more conservative than people want to accept," suggests a disturbing sympathy with Scott Walker and his goons that I'm not comfortable with. There's a lot to be in tune with when it comes to Wisconsin politics, but don't insinuate that it's secretly some impenetrable Republican stronghold, because it's not. Wisconsin has dueling strains of passionate left-wing and right-wing movements. It's a very politically engaged state -- one of the few in America where "didn't vote, lol" wasn't ahead of Trump and Hillary in 2016. You have the WOW on one side, the People's Republic of Madison and the Driftless on the other. They gave us Bob La Follette but also Joe McCarthy, Paul Ryan but also Russ Feingold, Tammy Baldwin but also some obese slime creature that lives in Big Muskego Lake and eats government regulations and gay people. I may have made the last one up but you can't conclusively prove it. But I don't know where pride in not being Illinois necessarily rallies the state behind Walker's government-business complex. Sure, there are Wisconsinites who say they hate "Illinois" and "Chicago" because they're not allowed to use the n-word, but the most FIB-hating Packer-loving cheeseheads I know are people who are brimming with Badger pride yet still, believe it or not, give a shit about public education and a common good that extends beyond oversized lot lines in fucking New Berlin or wherever. My old neighbors in Lake Geneva used to get out the vote for Dennis Kucinich. A Democrat will probably replace Paul Ryan because Walworth and Racine Counties are falling into the gaping maw of opioids and meth, and because the Republicans will probably run an actual Nazi. |

Fair, so I'll clarify. I think Walker is a complete douche. Completely agree that politically, there's a lot of energy and polarity in Wisconsin. Just because I think Walker is a douche doesn't mean I think the Wisconsin DEMs are any better....I don't. Overall, Wisconsin is in drastically better shape than Illinois. They've done something right, cause the trend of businesses leaving IL for Wisconsin isn't stopping. Not sure where that credit belongs. |

I wouldn't say "drastically better," either. They still haven't solved their brain-drain issues -- for what a godforsaken hellhole Illinois is supposed to be, a lot of Wisconsinites sure seem to move here (and to an equal or greater extent, Minnesota). |
