St. Louis media gossip site slams upcoming media reform conference Current rating: 0
18 Feb 2005
A gossip site for St. Louis media (mostly radio but TV and print as well) slams the upcoming National Conference on Media Reform
I posted this a few minutes ago but forgot to check the local interest box. I'm taking the liberty of reposting it here (ML, Paul, or whoever, feel free to delete one of these if you see fit).

A long-time corporate radio suckup named Mike Anderson, on his St. Louis media gossip and commentary web site, STLMedia (http://www.stlmedia.net ) posted a commentary on the front page concerning the May 13-15 National Conference for Media Reform in St. Louis.

In it, he posts a link to the Democratic Underground stie and calls this site, Al Franken and Amy Goodman, among others, "fascists."

Mr. Anderson is nothing more than a right-wing suckup who has no job in radio at all. He's 57, a Vietnam vet and rabid right-winger. There are message boards on his site (no registration needed for most forums), but if you choose to upbraid him, he may take the posts down.

After all, as he puts it - "My board. My rules."

When AirAmerica started, he regularly slammed the network and said it was doomed to failure for having a bad business model.

Regular posters on his boards include a southwest Missouri prick who calls himself "ohplease" and regularly rips those who don't agree with him. Another person calling himself "Sid Dithers" regularly rips into others with his (mostly) weekly "Dithers Blitz." He has his own forum on the site.

He has also regularly upbraided community and public radio stations such as WEFT for their programming and says they should be held to the same Arbitron Ratings standard as corporate radio stations.

I've posted on there myself as "STLmediawonk" but haven't registered. I've tried not to stir the pot up there but this may be an exception.

Also be forewarned: He logs ALL IP addys on the posts. Why I don't know, but it may not be good for IMC folks.

Do with this what you will. Additional information I know about him and site can be made available upon request.
