"Turn On The News" is the weekly newscast from the fictional Radio Network, with parody radio coverage of the radio and its headlines. Now with computerized news readers, and fewer meddling reporters, plus aggregated reporting, and automated music. Tune in "Turn On The News" each week for the latest news, radio art, and more from our robot reporters, making sure you hear both sides -- good and evil -- every time you "Turn On The News."

This week, after mass shooters murdered Blacks at a grocery store in New York and elementary school children in Texas, tune in Negativland's "Guns!" The 1992 work includes samples from western movies and radio shows of the 1940s and 1950s, mixed with audio from the film Son of the Morning Star, and samples 1980s and 1990s commercials which marketed guns to women, mixed with the original radio reports from the John F. Kennedy assassination and Robert F. Kennedy assassination.
