I was saying Stern had no major influence, you switched to him having exposure. I did not make up a damned thing, if you accuse me of lying and dishonesty than put up some examples with specificity or shut up. I said Kim Kardashian has tons of exposure; she has ubiquitous in all the gossip rags and her own reality show. She does. Deny that? I said Lindsay Lohan had tons of exposure too, she does. She endorsed Romney. She did. Make any difference? Okay, I made an assumption that she didn't based on the fact that Romney got creamed in that demographic. You think I'm wrong? My point: exposure does not equate to influence. Maybe you missed it.

I also pointed out that Stern did once have real influence. I said Howard had flirted with running for governor and it made big news. It happened. I said he was courted by politicians and had a rest stop named after him by the NJ governor. He did. Where's the lie?

Is X-Factor a big show? Sure. He comments on guys who play harmonica and singers and dog acts. If you think that's the same as having a three hour platform every day with millions of listeners and politicians vying for a favorable mention (all of which Howard had in the 90s) well, whatever.

I'm done with this but I won't sink to the level of accusing you of dishonesty, intellectual or otherwise.
