The numbers are in…
The NYC Arbitron Abbattior 06/25/07:
WABC (Rush, Hannity): 3.7 (unchanged); 5th overall
WOR (O’Reilly, Savage): 1.9 (.1 loss); 20th overall
WWRL (Air Idiot): 0.5; (.1 loss) 36th overall
Yea gods, Air Idiot is freakin’ cratering in NYC! Since getting the boot from WLIB (which, playing Gospel, is kicking their ass with a 0.8/27th place showing) they’ve fallen roughly ten slots in the standings.
No wonder there’s all this bullshit floating around about re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine; the Beltway schmucks can’t handle hearing from us! (Which is not gaining anything resembling resonance with the general public, it seems.) They would have rammed that Amnesty crap down our throats if not for the “right wing” talk show hosts–who actually read the fucking thing–didn’t warn everyone of what a piece of crap the Grandees of DC were trying to foist on you and me.
The Fairness Doctrine is like the politically correct crap you read about being pulled in grammar schools and little kid sports: “some people just can’t compete, so we’re gonna stop keeping score and everyone gets a trophy.”
In other Air Idiot news, the once cutely cynical (but now just a bitchy, borderline misanthrope) Janeane Garafolo has resurfaced, blaming her Daddy for her becoming an insufferable yentet guidette. And, the single greatest example of just how screwed up Air Idiot is, the “tossed under the bus” firebrand former AAR talker, Mike Malloy, unloads in this interview with BuzzFlash.
“Yea gods, Air Idiot is freakin’ cratering in NYC!”
That’s largely because of conservative (Armstrong Williams) and crypto-neocon (Lionel) programming having been adopted. Progressive listeners will not tune into that filth, other than to ridicule it. And it’s also just bad radio from talentless hacks, regardless of ideology.
The same cabal that forced true progressives off the air and sabotaged AAR are responsible for shifting Lionel off WOR in order to clear a space for Steve Malzberg, a ranting, raving AIPAC psychopath so devoid of basic human decency and interpersonal skills that he remained unemployed for almost three years on his own home turf.
We all know how the “Green Piece”, under guise of DLC sympathies, has paved the way for all manner of aberrant propaganda to be catapulted across the people’s airwaves. What’s not discussed enough is how, between the “Savage Weiner” and Malzberg, WOR has become New York’s second officially-sanctioned mouthpiece for the PNAC crowd (may their names be erased from memory).
“No wonder there’s all this bullshit floating around about re-instituting the Fairness Doctrine;”
It’s not bullshit.
Talk radio has been in need of recalibration for quite some time now.
“They would have rammed that Amnesty crap down our throats if not for the “right wing†talk show hosts–who actually read the fucking thing–didn’t warn everyone of what a piece of crap the Grandees of DC were trying to foist on you and me.”
TC?
What THE FUCK are you trying to get away with?
The DIM SON himself brought up the bill!
You need to get a grip. The same “right-wing” yammering hypocrites who jumped on the bandwagon are the same types with au pairs, gardeners, maids, etc. The elderly, illegal, Polish (Catholic) women line up every morning under the Williamsburg bridge so those upright, conservofreak Satmar mothers can hire them to scrub their Section-8 subsidized floors. The same multinational corporate venture capitalists that push and indeed import illegal aliens for cheap labor to undermine OUR labor movement and push down wages are precisely aligned politically with the same right-standing Republicans you continue to carry the water for.
Yep, you just can’t face the facts that the same corrupt regime you beat your chest over is the same responsible for the infestation of your own neighborhood!
“The Fairness Doctrine is like the politically correct crap you read about being pulled in grammar schools and little kid sports: “some people just can’t compete, so we’re gonna stop keeping score and everyone gets a trophy.—
No, more like you’re Radio Moscow, circa 1974, and we’re Radio Free Berlin. You’ve been jamming the circuits (with government support) for long enough. And you GREW UP under the Fairness Doctrine.
WE WANT THE AIRWAVES
You don’t consider yourself misanthropic?
Ever listened to Carmine Garofalo pontificate?
“And, the single greatest example of just how screwed up Air Idiot is, the “tossed under the bus†firebrand former AAR talker, Mike Malloy, unloads in this interview with BuzzFlash.”
Your penchant for sly distortion rivals Maloney’s.
Malloy hasn’t been with AAR for years, and you throw him into an pieces that purports to be dealing with AAR in the present.
Well, I’m a Malloy fan. I listen whenever I can.
What’s your damage with the Buzzflash interview?
They tossed Malloy under the bus when he was the only fucker on their schedule I was willing to listen with.
I LIKED the BuzzFlash interview; didn’t agree with it all, but found it interesting.
Yeah, he reminds me a little of me.
Good luck with your migration to the new server.
