Mos def. I used to work in a radio station, and they would actually stage fake calls. They would use an intern within the station to play the listener, and have them call the station and request a certain song.
But to real listeners, it sounded like a legitamate request.

Yes. Whoever owns the station decides what goes on the air. He might have assistants or hire a firm to program the station but its ultimately the owner's decision. Thousands of companies used to own country's radio stations, now there are 5 big owners who own almost all the stations in the country.

Well, they play what makes the most money. This is why I only listen to ESPN Radio and my MP3 Player.

Yes, sweetheart, they do. If they wanted the public to hear everything, then the celebrities with the big bucks would not have those bucks. Yes, we are puppets.

Yes. It's called manipulation.
Or brain washing.

Yes, and television only shows what they want you to see.
