In Wisconsin, Memorial Day weekend is traditionally considered to be the start of summer. People start looking forward to camping, fishing, picnics, cookouts and all the assorted fun associated with summer.
In Milwaukee, people also look forward to all of the wonderful festivals and events that fill the short months of summer.
This morning, WTMJ 620 AM had kept saying in their newscasts that this was Milwaukee's official start to summer because this weekend is the time for Polishfest and the Festival of the Arts, both at our beautiful lakefront.
But if they are using the kick off of the festival season as the official start of summer, why didn't they say it was last weekend, when the first festival of the season was held. Or is the corporate media so biased and homophobic that they don't consider the 25th anniversary of Pridefest to be a real celebration?

Great call. Yet another reason to challenge the 620 license this Fall. How is that inclusive and broadcasting in the public interest when you ignore a sizable portion of your community's population?
ReplyDeleteLocust Street Festival was last weekend, too. Or does it have to be on the lakefront to count?
