New Host of Meet the Press

[Joemailman]

For the record, it appears it appears it was Bobblehead who said Savage would be neutral, albeit perhaps with tongue in cheek:

Michael Savage would fit the bill better than gauwd awful and other
left leaning ninnies.

Tex, looks like we have a new sheriff in town.

Savage. LOL

The criteria is being a JOURNALIST of some sort.

I like this idea, savage fucking hates everyone and would be very neutral.

The Political Zoo (attacks Ted turner, Clinton, Alec Baldwin)

You should read the Political Zoo if you haven't. It's hysterical. It's clearly biased against liberals (in that there are more liberals than conservatives 'savaged' in the book), but I think the only figure who isn't torn apart is Condi Rice. Savage is biased, but he also runs conservatives over the coals. He's all about Language, Borders and Culture.

The point wasn't that particular book. It may or may not be hysterical.

The point is that he isn't neutral. Should i suggest Al Franken?

I don't know which is scarier, those who actually listen to Savage or those who would suggest he is neutral.

ty, you should know me well enough to realize I was joking about savage being neutral, it was a joke because he fucking rags on everyone. I do think he is MUCH more neutral than al franken in that I have listened to franken more than I ever cared to, and he strictly bags on the right, savage indeed does hate on everyone. Neutral, no, he is not, but he calls it like he sees it, as weird as that may be.

Maybe they should have Jon Stewart do it, or better, Lewis Black. Then we'd get some answers out of these people...

Re: replacement for meet the depressed

I found that most often, what Limbaugh reported (not his opinion, but the information) was more complete and less biased to the right than NPR to the left

i won't bother to separate news and commentary since they are so overlapped. But I agree that Limbaugh is more honest than NPR. Limbaugh at least addresses all the news, NPR often ignores the parts they find uncomfortable.

I am a radical, bomb-thowing moderate - meaning I am fiercely opposed to idealogues of any stripe. Most of my opinions are liberal, but I've come to believe that the leftists are more extreme and ridiculous than the right wing. If you listen to an hour of Limbaugh, and compare it to an hour of Air America radio, you see how much more mindless propaganda comes from the left.

I think the News Hour on PBS TV is a cut above the networks. And C-SPAN TV does a very thorough and balanced job in presenting interviews from all perspectives. Unfortunately most of their programming is boring speeches from Congress.

Sometimes you're denser than a neutron star. I said he was biased. In other words, he's not neutral. That means he has a slant to his views that is not equidistant from all extreme views. Catching my drift, or am I being obtuse?

Since Savage was introduced, I thought I'd make some comments about the guy. Like most extremists, he gets a particular label. I did a straw poll at a recent meeting that was populated by liberals. I found that out of about 30 self-defined libs, 28 knew of Savage. All thought he was a conservative hater (Words like homophobe, racists, mysogynistic, etc. were voiced. Of the 28, only 1 had ever read a book by Michael Weiner or listened to his radio program. That was the most telling stat of all. They all had an incredibly strong opinion, and a thoroughly incorrect understanding of Savage. In the early 90s I used to alternate listening to Limbaugh and NPR. Following up on the contradictory information (specifically overlapping information) I found that most often, what Limbaugh reported (not his opinion, but the information) was more complete and less biased to the right than NPR to the left (I used to joke about NPR saying 'I didn't know there were so many gay cello players' - because the always seemed to have the sensitive interviews with minorities within minorities). Like with Savage, my lib colleagues dismissed Limabaugh and villified him, yet few or none ventured from listening to NPR and no one had ever listened to Limbaugh. I stopped listening to Limbaugh a long time ago (got very busy - and the workplace I worked in listened to music or NPR) and when I started listening to political talk radio again, found more interesting shows, like Medved (and even Savage, with his lunacy at time, can be very entertaining). Still, it amaze me how close-minded, uniform, and boring the libs I know are about talk radio. With regard to Savage, if you listened to the guy you know what he hates about libs AND you'd know what he hates about the current administration (For example, his stance against the Dibai ports deal, his stance against the persecution of the Haditha Col., etc.). But for you libs out there, it might require you to keep an open mind, have a sense of humor, and then follow up and investigate issues on your own from multiple different sources. The truth is out there.

I"m not dense...i just don't see what the point of you straying off topic. If you wanna change the thread...do so in another.

I've listened to savage and have paid attention. But, i don't have to try eatign shit every couple of years in order for me to ascertain that i continue to dislike it.

As for sense of humor..that is rich. Pot meet kettle. Can't wait for the screeds on Colbert and Stewart.

You probably are right about that overall, but I think it's a reflection of the fact that there has been a Republican President for the past 7+ years. If Obama becomes President, I suspect that situation will reverse itself.

Tyrone:

Savage should be neutral the liberals not?

Where is the equity.

Savage can be explained as thus.

Right is right and wrong is wrong as filtered using the Old Testament.
Savage knows his talmud.

Savage is a constipated mench; people who need smitting are smote.
Plus methinks it a put on. Savage is his stage name.

Good news; onge can pick up a copy of Political Zoo for cheap
in the sin bin at Hastings.

That is where I purchased his other political books for cheap.
The Enemy Within will make a liberal self combust.

Extra Street Credit.

Savage swam naked with Ginsburgh the one time owner of Mad Magazine.

Don't be a rube.

The point is Savage isn't a journalist..and he is blatantly biased and conservative. Should i suggest Franken.

Elucidate on the liberal journalist's books that have the equivalent title as "liberalism is a mental disorder."

Liberal journalists ATTEMPT to be unbiased and fair..do they accomplish it..sometimes...just as Brit Hume, etc. do the same as conservative journalists.

P.S. If you try and appropriate someone's culture, you should try and at least get in right. As far as I know, Savage doesn't play OF for the Blue Jays.

Nor does he even remotely come close to the definition.

Man, there is nothing worse than a white guy pretending to be down with someone's culture.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I agree with you, Joemailman. Anger and frustration over Bush and the Iraq War have brought out the long knives on the liberal side.

Oooo, I strayed off topic. Perish forbid, Fifteenth Wonder.


Colbert is very funny. Stewart, less so. Just so you're aware, 15th, that's a statement of opinion, not a fact, so don't ask me to prove it.

Awesome Post Harlan, very true indeed. Btw Savage kicks ass. Nobody bombs on the phony republicans more than he does. Hes a true conservative and if you can get past his eccentric and visceral appeal, you would know the man is very deep and insightful.

P.S. If you are going to use yiddish words, best if you can spell them and use them appropriately. If you are a jew, that is just pathetic, if you are a white christian...stick to your own culture...unless you can do it well.

There is STRONG reason to believe that Ol' Tyrone is in fact, NOT even black--making him EXACTLY what he is commenting on.

And the little worm refuses even to come out and state clearly whether he is or is not.
