The front page of the Flash Report today features a great article by my friend Allan Bartlett who attended a rally emceed by KFI’s John and Ken, the hosts of a very popular afternoon show on that station. This dynamic duo has done a great job exposing the 1A-1F scam and publicizing the tea party movement. Growing up in Orange County, every weekday from 9am-noon I listened to Rush Limbaugh on KFI. So now that I’ve moved to Sacramento, I still tune into KFI via their Internet broadcast and occasionally stay tuned long enough to catch John and Ken’s show. Imagine my surprise when the KFI on Demand streaming audio popped up with an ad for YES on 1A-1F!
I know that John and Ken have repeatedly called out the governor for selling out taxpayers, so perhaps the governor’s “California Dream Team” thought purchasing some ads on KFI would be a fun way to tweak his radio critics. Sometimes the path money travels in politics can be rather humorous. The CRP, which officially opposes all the propositions, gave the governor money, who gave money to the Yes on 1A-1F campaign, which then purchased ads on KFI, where John and Ken are railing against the propositions. Let the governor and his Yes on Higher Taxes committee spend their money for useless ads on KFI. I’m confident John and Ken and their listeners will be voting the right way tomorrow.

In this fragile economy broadcast media television, radio and print publications will take anything to keep their operations going.
Therefore, it shouldn’t come to a surprise to anyone on the ads for “Yes on 1A – 1F” to appear KFI.
