First they noticed that she was making an impact. She had listeners and she educated them on everything for righ-wing talking points to right-wing spin. Her listeners learned all about what they had been missing on the corporate media. They acted, they voted, they protested. She became very popular. They knew they had to do something but what? We'll hire her and give her a platform on one of our shows, they exclaimed! WHA??? the bosses said. Yes, we'll hire her for a 'political' show! Brilliant! We'll have her talk at 90mph trying to get a word in edgewise over blustery Bucanan and Lil' Stretch. She'll have to talk about races and numbers and speculate on who's voting for whom. We'll put her on every night. She won't have time to do her radio show. Brilliant, they all cried. And so it was. A once great source of inspiration and knowledge has now become a corporate pundit. Soon, they say, we'll give her a big raise. When she's hooked on the money, we'll make some subtle suggestions to her. You know, about improving her ratings. She'll resist at first and we'll back off. But sooner or later, we'll have her trust and her ear. Then she's ours. No more radio show, no more inspiration, no more information. Just speculation on who's voting for who. The End.
