Feminist Flop

Gee, how come I never heard of this? Because it was a big, fat, feminist Fonda-esque flop!

Last Friday, GreenStone Media signed off for good. Why did this effort fail? After all, the programming carefully was designed by feminist experts to appeal to female tastes. According to Steinem, "women are more and more turned off by the hostility and argumentative nature of AM talk radio." Greenstone Media was supposed to capitalize on that by offering a different tenor, more "community" and greater respect for different points of views.

GreenStone offered the typical liberal fare - boasting of interviews with Ralph Nader and Alec Baldwin - but also included programming that was downright girly. Morning show segments included "Mean Mommy," with advice for mothers, and "What's up with Guys," providing insights into the elusive male brain.

Nader and Baldwin? What a tedious, self-absorbed pair. You'd think these aging feminists could have brought in some fellow feminist star power to juice up the airwaves. Hillary? The Mean Mommy of America segment. Now that might have been entertaining.
