United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan demanded what he called "hate media" be stopped immediately.


One mans "hate media" could be another mans "Rush Limbaugh" show.  Who decides what is "hate media"?

It demanded "that the Ivorian authorities stop all radio and television broadcasting hatred, intolerance and violence".

Nah - Rush is hypocritical, drug addicited, closet homosexual, media.

I mean the guy is nationaly known and he meets his "wife" via email. There's something wrong with that picture. All those bars, clubs, parties, beaches, and he's clicking away at email.
All that money and not a paternity suit ever filed :D

Do you know what happend in Rawanda with the radio stations?

Probably not.

This UN thing is a useful factoid for Limbaugh listeners - who want to completely ignore that many American TV stations are so terrified of our own FCC that they refused to air 'Saving Private Ryan' on Veteran's day.

But bringing that up would raise questions about religious lunatics who are running our country now, so let's pretend like it didn't happen.
