I’m noticing funny things over WABC 77 talkradio in NYC recently. In the last few months we’ve lost Bob Grant, Curtis Sliwa, Joe Scarborough complete with Mika the Marxist, and now some substitue host who is a phony liberal Democrat apologist masquerading as a “real conservative”. I think his name is something like Hagin or Nagin.
Just a wild little thought but it almost seems as though WABC is trying to head the Fairness Doctrine off at the pass. The station has replaced rock-ribbed, unapologetic conserviative hosts with luke-warm moderate Republicans who are more passionate about finding fault in their own party than they are in the complete leftist take-over of the Federal Government. Both Sliwa and Scarborough are spending such an inordinate amount of time on the Mark Sanford affair that it’s becoming silly — and boring. Is this WABC’s way of bowing down to the new statists who wish to pull the plug on conservative talk radio? In other words, they seek to water down the conservative message to make the statists and anti-freedom progressives happy?
Also, for those who might not be aware, WABC TalkRadio has recently replaced their long-time program program director with one Laura Cantillo who was a producer for Oprah on XM radio. Cantillo also says she finds Rachel Maddow “highly entertaining”. For any conservative listener of WABC TalkRAdio, this his highly distressing. She has been hired by WABC no doubt, to moderate the tone wherever possible. She will not touch Rush’s show or Levin’s or Hannity’s or they will quickly tell her where she can go. But she will be there to find some way to sneak in the liberal/leftist viewpoint whenever possible. During the weekends, when Hannity’s on vacation, subbing for Imus’s many absentees. We’re beginning to see and hear the new “moderate” WABC TalkRadio tailor-made for the Obama era -— and we don’t like it one stinking bit.

I will do the "Happy Dance" if 630 WMAL in Washington, DC drops Joe & Mika. They are unbearable to listen to. Mika is okay at times, I do like her, but Joe is awful - a narcissist and all "into himself" - more so than anyone else on radio... it's pathetic.
