I wonder if the FCC has any regulations banning AM and FM stations from
telling their listeners to "keep their ears glued to this station" and
explaining how "relaxing" their music is and how you just have to listen
every day?  And, these are by far not the most extreme examples.

This came to mind the other morning when I tuned in to WLW in Cincinatti
on my magic AM radio and heard the talk station host making a really
outrageous and amateurish hypnotic induction with the purpose of "making
converts" to his radio station and who knows what else.

Well, if the FCC isn't interested in this and other issues regarding the
many abuses of free speech going on these days, then I suggest _you_ get
some speechwriters with skills in this area and start converting listeners
to Republicanism and a whole wealth of other good causes.
