GreenStone: Feminazi Radio
In light of abysmal flops such as Mario Cuomo's radio show and Al Franken's Air America, libs have apparently figured out that they cannot compete with Rush Limbaugh head on. With the new talk-radio network GreenStone, scheduled to launch September 12, they seem to be adopting a stealth strategy.
Ostensibly, GreenStone will be an apolitical talk network for women, covering plastic surgery, feng shui, spring cleaning tips, etc. But you don't have to scratch very hard to see beneath the surface. The network's creators and major investors include the left-wing activist and infamous traitor Hanoi Jane Fonda, radical feminists Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan, anti-Second Amendment harpy Rosie O'Donnell, and Gail Evans, who was involved in the founding of CNN with zillionaire leftist Ted Turner.
Steinem explicitly denies that GreenStone will be an all-girl version of the floundering Air America, even if it is renting studio and satellite time from Air America's owner, Piquant LLC. But given the ideological background of the people involved, claims that GreenStone will have no political agenda are hard to take seriously — especially with Steinem making comments like these:
The radio has become overbalanced toward the ultra-right. [...] AM talk radio does not reflect the fact that only 30 percent of the country, at the most, is anywhere near Rush Limbaugh.
As NewsMax theorizes:
[C]ould GreenStone be a "stealth" network designed to wear a disguise of apolitical camouflage so it can fly below the radar to conquer American women with its concealed left-liberal agenda?
Approximately one-third of today's conservative talk-radio listeners are women, a worrisome thought to Democratic power players.
GreenStone apparently will use a softer propaganda technique — and make a play at those women listeners with the goal of becoming commercially viable.
The Radio Equalizer doesn't see GreenStone as a relatively subtle companion to the blaringly obnoxious Air America, but as its replacement:
[W]hen Air America folds, what will stop GreenStone from immediately filling the libtalk gap? Nothing- they'll even have Air America's physical operations at their disposal.
Meanwhile, many in the industry have wondered why GreenStone doesn't seem to have more than a few stations carrying its programming at this point. But that's where Air America again comes into play: when it folds, GreenStone will immediately gain potential access to dozens of affiliates across the country in fast need of programming.
What is it about the Left's agenda that causes its advocates to be so sneaky?

I wonder if they will give Germaine Greer a talk-show: Not a Parody This Time: Moonbat Feminist: Irwin's Death was Revenge from the Animal Kingdom
Note the subtle stereotyping: Women don't really want to discuss news and politics, so a network that caters to them has to lure them in with fluffy celebrity chat and shopping and decorating tips. It may be an accurate stereotype, but it's interesting to see uber-butch feminists embracing it.
