Matt Siegel's run-in with Wokeism: Boston ratings giant walked out the door, possibly for good.
Thoughts from the 42nd Parallel ^ | 05-19-21 | Tom Shattuck

Matt "Matty in the Morning" Siegel has been bullied and harassed off the air, possibly permanently. Siegel dared to have fun during a segment about Demi Lovato who has changed or expanded genders. Today, Siegel allegedly mocked Lovato’s newfound gender or at least spoke about it in a lighthearted way and that was all she wrote. In discussions over gender, droll observations, or for that matter anything less than positive observations, are forbidden. "I was told by my boss I cannot talk about what I want to talk about — by the way it's a joke, the whole binary thing. I don't care what Demi Lovato does," Siegel insisted just before walking off the air. Siegel has indicated that he may be returning to the station but who knows what will happen. Radio stations don’t take too kindly to hosts walking off of a live broadcast. Also, he went into the forbidden zone - gender issues - and he works for iHeart which deals in music and live events, which are generally very progressive circles. I had Kirk Minihane and Gerry Callahan on today to talk about the Matt Siegel situation. “It’s familiar for us,” Kirk said. “I hate to say it but in 2021, if you’re Matt you’re either going to come back and apologize or you’re out." “The middle ground is completely eliminated, now. It doesn’t even exist,” he continued. “And that’s why [terrestrial radio]’s dying,” added Callahan. “At our old station you can hear the fear in the voices of the hosts.” As a result, it’s possible that Howie Carr will be the last man standing in Boston Radio. If the day ever comes that we hear the words, “Howie out,” from him then terrestrial radio is truly finished in the Bay State and probably beyond.

He needs to move. Go to an American State.

Lavato is messed up. She “identifies” as “They/Them”. That indicates 2 or more people.
Maybe she could be like SNL’s Pat who was a “That”.

Deserves some lighthearted droll observations.

Without the Middle Ground, there can be no serious or thorough discussion. Most people aren’t fully one way or another on these 3rd Rail issues. To say one can’t even talk about that vast area of ambiguity is not natural for most Americans.

I don’t see this sanctioned polarization lasting much longer, unchallenged. Even many young people can see through it. It produces an artificial form of ‘acceptance’.
Everyone has to agree to play the same game of ‘Let’s pretend’.

I wonder if Demi is still harassing that Ice Cream store, angry at them for ‘making her’ forget her diet goals with their tempting advertisments.

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

Apparently, we’re ruled by perverts and Communists.

I commented at MarketWatch today about that and it was removed. I said nothing but 2 facts, that the American Association of Psychiatrics calls her affliction Gender Dysphoria and that she should see help because the suicide rate from GD is high.

From a beautiful woman to a mental case, and she doesn’t even know it. Strange days when people have to pay homage to the evil zeitgeist spirit for acceptance. And for what? For nothing. Romans 1:18-32.

I’ve heard of Matt Seigel but never listened to him. But I’m a huge fan of Howie Carr and have been for years.His is the only radio program I’ll listen to now that Rush is gone. The left has been after him for years and particularly given that he’s not a kid anymore it seems possible that he’ll soon take his marbles and go home.

She was probably used and abused and manipulated from a very young age.

The only pronoun I’d use looking at the bottom photo is “it”.

She was a Disney kid and who knows the horrors of what goes on there behind closed doors and casting calls
