What some of us instinctively knew

The Washington State Supreme Court on April 26th held that radio commentary during regular broadcast time is protected free speech. Concurring opinion by justice James Johnson admonishes prosecutors for attempting to silence political opponents.

The communications of today’s talk radio in my mind is very much akin to that of America’s Pamphleteers. While some give this distinction almost exclusively to bloggers, not everyone has access to the Internet and as such it is still largely a community of the privileged.

Talk radio requires only a second hand a.m. radio and a phone line to participate. It is modern street corner political rant, biased without any pretense to “journalistic integrity” and to the point.
