You have to admit the whole "glory hole" comment was a major

I read that and wanted to puke. How does Jones not know what a freaking glory hole is. Heck, in this day and age, even a 10 year old knows what a glory hole is. Ugh.

They talk about what people want to hear about. Hate the fans, not the media.

There's a reason your 10 o'clock news is about death and car wrecks. People don't want to know what happened in the city council meetings. They'll turn the channel. Why does TMZ do so well?

JJ...to him the term "glory hole" is an oil business term....

I think Mickey or someone was saying that earlier this morning.

 

[Frozen700]

They need something to chat about.

It gets annoying, but if people stopped paying attention, they would stop. Or it would at least not affect you as much.

I disagree...they talk about what they WANT us to hear....there is not one fan on this board that wants to talk about ANY of that....like I have always said..the media does not tell you how to think...they just tell you what to think about

And it is frustrating to me because they have access many of us would dream about....but they use it for all the WRONG reasons!

Win games after Dec 1 and the "hating" and "hacking" will stop.

 

[Gameover]

Just Win, Baby!

NO they don't...they talk crap all day long, every day.

The Fan...these 2 morning guys know nothing of sports, one is a Commanders fan, the other a Jets. They are haters.

The Ticket is PO'd they lost being the flagship station of the Cowboys to the Fan.

ESPN...well, 'nuff said....

Works the same in the music end of radio as well, they only play the music they want you to hear, not what you are interested in. It is why I gave up on terrestrial radio years ago, and now listen to Sirius. Though Sirius has become more like am/fm radio the last few years, at least I don't have to listen to horrible ads.

i understand that the term glory hole is funny, but i dont expect our nightly local news guys to be giggling like school girls because an old man said something that in his life means something different than trash minded wanna be TMZers.....

there are at least 6 definitions of that term and i would expect a "pro" media guy to act as such......

The Ticket never wanted the Cowboys games, and the key people on the station have said that. They believe it conflicts with their ability to be objective about the team, and they're right. That was purely a corporate (Cumulus) deal, not a content department decision.

Exactly.

Many radio stations any more are "canned" pre-programmed music. But you are right...same crap, different channel......

Unfortunately, that's not true, as much as I wish it was.

There's a reason that The Bachelorette, Jersey Shore, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, etc, get much better ratings than high-brow television.

Most of this country is dumb as a bag of hammers. The media plays to it.

Entirely different can of garbage there....not a good analogy....

Well..this could come down to the chicken/egg argument...which comes first? I would argue the majority of this country has very little intellectual curiosity....so most of their thoughts, ideas and philosophies come from the people they see on TV or hear on the radio....so if you are hungy....and someone feeds you...you become enslaved to him/her...because in your mind it is your only source of food.

Right,
If you keep feeding people slop, they will soon become accustomed to it, and then will crave and like that slop....

You do not have to make the best hamburger in the city to have a successful restaurant. You just need to be good at what you provide for the people to get use to.

McDonalds for example....can you make a better hamburger than them, yes, but to make it cheap enough to make a profit, but yet good enough to make people want them....

Well, the DFW media still serves up slop....:laugh2:

The Ticket's been running audio where he states that he didn't know it was an oil business term. :-/
