Fonda, Steinem and Rosie Challenge Rush, ‘Male Point of View'

Newsmax reports:

Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Rosie O'Donnell are backing a new left-wing radio network that plans to appeal to women listeners and counter the dominance of conservative talk radio and its "male point of view."

The new talk-radio network is called GreenStone and will be officially launched on Sept. 12, 2006. Its Web site describes it as "a clear alternative to the polarizing, highly political talk commonly heard on AM radio."

Steinhem, in a recent interview with The New York Times, has also made clear that her network is at war with Rush Limbaugh for audience share.

"We know what women want," says GreenStone's mission statement, "and have the entertainment, political, social and business connections to deliver it . . . Our goal is to build the leading brand for women's talk programming."

As a leader of the Democratic Socialists of America,no word yet on whether Gloria Steinem will have other socialists on the air.
