The late Jimmy Griffin was mayor of Buffalo. While mayor, he said that the reason why the Buffalo News was open on Christmas Day is that they could not find three wise men.

Look for satilite/internet radio and podcasting to have booming business SOON.

With high tech the way it is, the return of the UNFairness Doctrine will by all means FAIL.

Michael Savage gives the rest a bad name.

Neither you or the author of this piece have listened to Randi Rhodes or Al Franken on Err America (Well, based on ratings nobody has listened to them)

Give Randi a try for a week and then contrast and compare to Weiner Nation. Savage is mild mannered in comparison. (and I'm not a fan...I prefer Levin)

Douglas Turner of the Buffalo News wants conservative radio talkers silenced. He calls them "virulent," "violent" and "coarse" and hopes that starting January 1 the "work of flushing" them will begin.

He's never listened at all and irony is lost on his addled brain. The gov't starts censoring radio and newspapers are next.

I hope Mark does go after them! I’d pay $$$ to be in the courtroom for it.

Exactly. And for direct murder, as that SanFran wacko did to JOE THE PLUMBER. According to this Buffalo jerk, that’s okay.

if no one wanted to listen to Savage all they have to do is change the station

this is how liberals treat ALL conservatives, the same way you treat this ONE.

If you do it to one, you open the door to do it to all.

I heard the Bauerle show. He did an excellent job exposing the monopolists at the Buffalo Snewz.

The lefties have been emboldened and we should expect their weasely tactics for a while.

Hopefully the whole stinking Dem shebang will self combust...and we will be back in the saddle by 2010.

I dropped the Buffalo News years, and years, ago. You’ll have to tell me who their advertisers are.

I miss the Butler family who ran a conservative paper which is now a socialist rag.

Let's silence the Buffalo News. Are there enough conservatives in that area to boycott their advertisers?

Although the papers sales have been steadily declining, so has the population. Those that have marketable skills and can get away have done so.

What remains is a high unemployment rate, a workforce that is 30% unionized, and 7 of the largest employers invole the govt.

There is one AM radio talk show station worth listening to most of the time. (althogh they have their token liberal too) Which is probably the target of this thread. WBEN AM

I say let them dwell in their mess. They seem to feed off it.

One of the reasons I had to get the heck out of there.

A wing of B-52's just flew over for a landing. How cool is that!

I know what you were trying to say. I agree for the most part, too.

The Conservatives will have to join Howard Stern on SIRIUS / XM if the Commies actually pull this off.

What Country is this again? I’m getting a bit confused.
