more propaganda pimping from disney: 'the ada minute'

There is basically one A.M. radio station that I listen to on any regular basis and for the time being this constitutes the only amount of mainstream media broadcast via the airwaves that I've willingly & knowingly taken in since February 2005. Outside of this, I do regularly inspect the locally printed smalltown version of bigtime mainstream news.

Being in a somewhat small, rural, one-horse "city" town, there are not a lot of options on either the AM or FM sides of the radio. Making this matter worse is that of the handfull of stations broadcast in this coverage area, most of them are actually co-opted and run/broadcast out of the same/single office. There is a local radio broadcast conglomerate known as Forever Broadcasting. There main broadcast facility is only a few miles down the road, where they have a small office complex plus a crop of tall towers in a nearby field. I do not now how many different radion stations are effectively operated out of this single facility, but I do know there are several, some of which, seemingly, are portrayed to be "competitors" to each other. Anyway, this conglomerate constitutes a number of various mainstream "affiliates", and through a rather dizzying array of contractual obligations, if one tunes their dial into the same frequency, for instance, 1430 AM, and leaves it there over the course of the week, one will get the illusion that this one station is in fact several. For instance, on Sunday mornings, this frequency broadcasts various religious programs. During any day of the winter months, this frequency broadcasts various sports events of numerous high schools and colleges from the (relatively) 50-100 mile surrounding area. 1430 is also the area's only A.M. affiliate of ESPN Radio. ESPN (effectively all of it, tv and radio) is owned by ABC which is in turn owned (effectively, all of it) by Disney. Best I can tell, this one station - 1430, being in a small town small market, is trying to wear a lot of hats by having contracted with various sources of information, despite which, at the end of the day, most people around here associate 1430 as being one and the same with ESPN... close, but not really the case.

The above is just an effort to demonstrate that despite the small-town arrangements that may make this a somewhat confusing situatin to udnerstand, by and large, based on present contractual obligations that the owners/operators of 1430 are tied to, no matter what day of the week it may be, and not matter what time of day it may be, whatever information - content/advertisemenets, spoken, music, or some combination thereof, is locally transmitted in this area by way of 1430 A.M., for all intents and purposes one can generally be sure that this is information that the greater conglomerate of Disney / ABC / ESPN wants to be transmitted & received.

There are generally two reasons why I may turn on the radio to 1430 AM. Primarily, both these reasons are because I, despite efforts thus far, am still largely a programmed product of my environment, still wanting and trying to further unplug each and every day, experiencing some definite successes in this respect, but also still having some struggles trying to achieve closer to 100%, a status that, fresh off the now 2.5 year experience, I am nearly convinced may very well be, in practical terms, near impossible no matter how diligently one endeavors to unplug short of going to live under a rock somewhere out in the mountains where there is no chance of contact and or communication with any other person, and at the same time no chance of being influenced by the mass system of methods there are for infuencing & persuading we the masses.

Recently I've noticed a somewhat new phenom during commercial advertizing moments on 1430; these commercials that never come out and openly state they are formal "public service announcemenet", but are nonetheless conducted & portrayed as such a real thing. One of these I already commented on and has to do with the array of commrcials that have been recently swamping the commercial minutes of this particular station and pushing & pressuring young men to enlist in the selective war services. The other is a well-polished array of commercials that are pushing various agendas of the colletive institution of orthodox medicine. There are several sample commercials I've now heard that collectively cover a range of orthodoxy but the one freshest in my mind is the "ADA Minute" that has been playing in this area, non-stop, several times per hour, for at leastthe last month to 6 weeks. I suspect this phenom is "coincidentally" related to the recent push to get the local muni water supply systematically fluoridated as reported here:

.... a random, blind, happenchance, unrelated "co-incidence", no doubt ;)

Here are the highlights that I wrote down when I heard this one particular ADA Minute last night:

friendly but authoritative female voice over begins this subtle advertisement generally touting the benefits of community water fluoridation and pinpointing the specific benefits that Science has proven for fluoride in water to provide kids with healthy teeth and bones. Ms friendly ends this particular segment by quoting "water fluoridation is generally accepted as 1 of the top ten greatest health achievement in modern history" and directs the listener to a particualr ADA web site for further information.

Many people seem to not want to accept or acknowledge that they have in fact been advertized whenever the ad is delivered to them in a way such that they cannot easily and clearly identify a tangible product - like a car, or milk, or house loan, or a restaurant, or political candidate, that the ad was clearly trying to sell them. This may be just one of the more harmful aspects of listening and or watching the same series of repeat programming broadcast over the period of hours and more. A good for instance for me is, one of the two main reasons why I turn on the radio to 1430 is to listen to a current installment of western Pennsylvania's professional baseball team play out their events on the diamond. Listening (or watching) professinal sports is a choice method for becoming routinely programmed by repeating advertizements. Even though I've now taken to turning the radio off between innings if & when I remember to do so, unfortunately, I now find myself e humming to myself the new, noxious but now-engrained jingle for Eat N Park restaurants.... and they say that media has no influence on people. If there even the slightest crumb of truth to this, why has the collective advertising empire spent, literally, trillions of dollars advertisign listeners and viewers the past few decades..... all those corproate $$$ spent just so they can not influence us? Anyone who buys such probably deserves to and is likely to buy pretty much anything, even literal $hit on a shingle, and be happy to do so, and consume such... and be thankful for the ADA Minute that keeps their bones and teeth healthy throughout.
