Wolf Bltizer, a Jew who was born in Israel, is probably the most despicable man in the media next to Larry King .... The two of them together look like the type that would have pushed Jewish children into the oven to stay alive one more day to entertain the Nazis."

Dear friend,
It's hard to believe that these horrible and absurd statements were uttered on our public airwaves. But they were -- by Michael Savage -- who uses the citizen's airwaves to spread vile hate speech, to get rich, and to make big bucks for the giant media companies.
Shockingly, Savage is the third-most popular hate talk radio personality in America -- with 8.25 million daily listeners -- surpassed only by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. What Savage and the other shock jocks do is wrong. It is un-American, and it is time to understand how we can put a stop to the radio hate mongers spreading lies and destroying lives.
Buy Rory O'Connor's startling new book "Shock Jocks: Hate Speech and Talk Radio" now! Buy it and learn the down and dirty details about America's Ten Worst Hate Talkers -- including Don "Nappy Headed Hos" Imus, Bill O'Reilly, and the only female in the bunch -- Laura Ingraham.

In "Shock Jocks", O'Connor tackles the hate talk establishment and shows how the media conglomerates not only make hate talk possible, but profitable. Hate talk dangerously blurs the distinctions between news and disdainful entertainment, exacerbating racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic attitudes.
But there is good news -- the rising tide of progressive talk show hosts like Rachel Maddow, Tom Hartman and Laura Flanders are steadily gaining ground on the hate talk jocks and making progressive radio viable in America.
Get ahead of the curve! Buy a copy of "Shock Jocks" now, hot off the presses, before it's in the bookstores. Howard Zinn calls the book "an admirable example of whistle-blowing," showing in "devastating detail how our hallowed right of free speech has been crippled by right-wing dominance of the airwaves." It's a hell of a read.
