WLS sports anchor Mark Giangreco responded to a tweet about Donald Trump by saying America has been exposed as country full of “simpletons” and by also calling Trump a “cartoon lunatic.”

Sounds like a Keith Olbermann wannabe bringing far left politics to sports. Only problem is this idiot needs to know his market - white heterosexual males, mostly conservative, who have no use for spraytanned leftists who like to insult their listening audience.

No,I,m not gay! Really,I’m not!

WHy isn’t he fired like on the spot.

[SERKIT]

Dan Proft, AM talk radio host on WIND in Chicago, found out that this idiot has not voted int he last several election cycles. So he can stereotype Trumps supporters as “simpletons”, which means he should be stereotyped as a dumb jock sniffer who complains about the outcome of an election, but too stupid to remember to vote.

I graduated from NIU and ran into plenty of jags like him. All mouth with no balls.

[proust]

Wow! Good job 👏

[ConservaTexan]

Auditioning for the failing, and ABC owned ESPN.

he took it down

[mountn man]

Mark has ALWAYS been a D!ck.

He's been at ABC for years and has always been a self important, better than thou, little twit.

[SoFloFreeper]

Looks like he deleted the tweet...the link in the adweek.com story gives me a "this page no longer exists!" or something like that...

[Navin Johnson]

Good call! Only a south sider would make such a loser comment.

[Navin Johnson]

Someone with WLS busted his sorry ass. LMAO

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I wonder what the marketing plan is in calling your audience a bunch of simpletons?

[HARRY TUTTLE]

Likely sports manager in high school. With apologies to the altitudinally impaired, likely Costas clone.

[mountn man]

In Chicago, the White Sox are always an also ran, even when they won the World Series.

All the media and most of the town, are fans of the other team, in the gay neighborhood.

[Celtic Conservative]

It is apparently easier to call more than half the country simpletons than admit your worldview is faulty. And those people you insult make up more than half your potential audience. Good going jackass!

If one advertizer bails over this he’ll be doing high school basketball on the Peoria AM station

Hey, don't knock Peoria. A buddy of mine IS a sports reporter in Peoria.

[henkster]

I follow sports (but not sports “journalists”) and I have never heard of this guy. So he’s some no-name hack with a liberal democrat pedigree trying to jump on the group-think bandwagon and act like he’s a player.
