Welcome To Tony Palmeri's Media Rants! I am a professor of Communication Studies at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I use this blog to try to promote critical thinking about mainstream media, establishment politics, and popular culture.

WPR Dumps Harry Shearer
Satirist Harry Shearer, perhaps best know for being a voice of The Simpsons, produces a radio show called "Le Show." The show was recently dumped by Wisconsin Public Radio because, according to Harry, they were "displeased with the political content" of the show. Shearer mentions the WPR dumping during the intro to his July 16th program, which can be heard here.
I teach Communication Studies (First Amendment, Classical Rhetoric, Civic Engagement, Rhetoric of Rock Music) at UW Oshkosh. Served two terms on Oshkosh City Council. Originally from Brooklyn, NY.
