Though Savage has started off like dynamite he did say (on one or both of his first two shows) that in time he will indeed temper his performance. (To what it's been much of the past several years.)
Meanwhile Hannity, et al should ignore Savage and step up even more their focus on existential threats to our Republic as -- it appears to me -- Savage is being nudged into a self-imposed Fairness Doctrine.
I have no "home team" among talk show conservatives and I turn Savage off when he dumps the snark on his competitors -- I thought he'd stop that with his "promotion" but it's even worse now.
