Comments on: House and Senate on YouTube http://keystoneconservative.com/2009/01/12/house-and-senate-on-youtube/ Connecting and Communicating with Conservatives in Pennsylvania Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:21:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jessica Thompson http://keystoneconservative.com/2009/01/12/house-and-senate-on-youtube/comment-page-1/#comment-784 Jessica Thompson Sun, 25 Jan 2009 13:11:49 +0000 http://keystoneconservative.com/?p=205#comment-784 There may not be a lot of US congressmen on YouTube, but there are several PA Representatives. A few that I've found are Mike Turzai and Scott Perry. YouTube is a way to connect to younger voters, and I hope that campaigns and politicians realize it's just another tool to help them along the way.

Nor, if you read the comments for that article, do the wikipedia editors agree. Wikipedia's own dictionary, moreover, specifies that shock jock is a type of disk jockey. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shock_jock The dead-tree Random House and American Heritage dictionaries concur with that definition. Even without the music, there's a big difference. Talk radio hosts want listeners to trust and believe them, and to be outraged at other people, such as those who say such "Happy Holidays", instead of "Merry Christmas", as if "holidays" weren't "holy days". Shock jocks want listeners to be startled and/or outraged at the DJ's own behavior. Michael Savage wasn't looking to offend his listeners when he called autistic kids brats. Rather, he was hoping his listeners would agree with him. Wikipedia does not consider even its best articles to be reliable sources, and that particular article doesn’t meet Wikipedia standards.

The term is usually used pejoratively to describe provocative or irreverent broadcasters whose manners and on air behavior is offensive to the listener. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_jock Shock jock is a slang term used to describe a type of radio broadcaster (sometimes a disc jockey) who attracts attention using humor that a significant portion of the listening audience may find offensive.
