WH responds to Armed Forces Radio 'Dump Rush' petition: No
Rush Limbaugh and Armed Forces Radio
By Bryan G. Whitman, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs for Department of Defense
Thank you for your interest in American Forces Network (AFN) programming for our service members overseas. We appreciate your participation in the "We the People" platform on www.whitehouse.gov and your concerns about the programming available to our troops.
AFN is charged with providing current information and entertainment programming to our Department of Defense audiences overseas, similar to what they could see and hear via the media in the United States. AFN acquires top-rated radio programs, as measured by audience ratings in the United States, and delivers them via satellite to our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen stationed worldwide in 177 countries. AFN does not advertise on, provide any funding for, offer products for sale, or sponsor any of the programs (including the Rush Limbaugh Show) it relays to its audiences.
AFN does not censor content, and we believe it is important that service members have access to a variety of viewpoints.
See the complete list of political talk shows offered on AFN.
Review all of our radio and television services/schedules.
Again, thank you for your interest in our service members and the programming services AFN extends to them.
Tell us what you think about this response and We the People.

Suck it DUmmies, those who want to tune in can, others can hit the off button. You selfish pricks want to deny deployed troops a little taste of home just because you don't like the content.

Another...never happen.
Back in the day, Paul Harvey was on FEN every day around 1100, or so. Being up in the Tower (Marine ATC), I would hear all the radio chatter coming from all around the airfield. As soon as Paul started, the airfield went dead silent. Everything, except the occasional F-4 on short final, just stopped. As soon as he finished the show, it was like the volume slowly increasing on a TV.
I'll never forget that.

So, the next step is to force the fairness act via another poll.

My last airplane I flew as a professional pilot had the call sign 9180K. When I signed off all my frequency changes I would say 918 Okay, good day, and do it in my best Paul Harvey impression.

The only crap the liberals want everyone to hear, or see, is their crap. They don't want anything that opposes their view to be out there. They are such dictator wannabes ....
