What the WHAT? I love Mark S.

[Garth Tater]

Great news for Mr. Steyn. Associating with that doofus Levin was seriously damaging his brand.

[Phillyred]

I didn’t know Steyn had a show. He is great and should have a national radio show.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Steyn was hurting his own name being associated with Levin.

[M. Thatcher]

I can’t get enough Steyn, but couldn’t bring myself to subscribe due to my absolute loathing of Levin. Glad now I didn’t. Hopefully Steyn will find another platform minus association with anyone as odious as Levin.

[Joe 6-pack]

I would have to guess that a large number of CRTV subscribers signed up primarily, if not exclusively because Steyn was part of it.

[Chickensoup]

Actually I wanted to subscribe to Steyn’s show and channel because of him and Malkin, but Levin was such a turn-off, that I kept postponing it.

[InvisibleChurch]

They tried a conservative radio network years ago and it didnt work. Anyone goofy enough to fire mark steyn is not very intelligent (unless they found out he was an undocumented alien sneaking across the northern border to bother Americans).

As Don Henley says...The lawyers clean up all details.

I surrender. Why did they fire him? He was one of the reasons I told my wife I would love to subscribe.

[deweyfrank]

I think Mark Steyn is great. I’m glad he’s getting away from that Anti Trumper Levin. I wish him the best of luck. Too much talent for him to not land on his feet.

[Freedom56v2]

Wow, so LEVIN fired him with no notice—so he could give no notice to his audience?!?! How tacky!

Interesting that Mark S. is good enough for Rush to use as a main sub...maybe Levin was threatened...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Mark is my favorite undocumented Limbaugh surrogate.

[ConservativeMind]

Mark Levin is indistinguishable from a vile, little turd.

I expect Mark Steyn was performing much better in the overall viewer ratings, showing Levin to be the empty suit he is.

[Rastus]

Good. Mark doesn’t need the stink of Levin about him.

[Go No]

If a movie were ever made entitled “The Last Days of Betty White” Mark would be perfect for the role.

My dog told me if ML fell into a meat grinder and somehow was extruded in the shape of a fire hydrant and the extrusion somehow burst into flames he would not waste his bodily fluids putting out the fire. Said most of his dog buddies concurred, including a Dalmatian.

[Fiji Hill]

I can’t stand Levin and fail to understand how he got the nickname “the great one.” All he does is bash Trump, promote his book about a Constitutional amendment that will never happen, or talk about his dog.

Unfortunately, out here, if you want to hear conservative talk radio between 3 and 6 in the afternoon, when I am often driving, the choice is Levin or Glenn Beck, so I listen to music or a book on CD.

I wouldn't piss in Mark Levin's mouth if his tongue was on fire.

He was a table away from me a few weeks ago at a DC restaurant. Barely able to finish my meal.

[nathanbedford]

About a week ago I wrote to the Mark Steyn program and inquired whether there was "trouble in Paradise" concerning Mark Steyn and even inquiring if he had been dropped from the program.

I received no reply and I am more than a little put off by Levin having representing to consumers that Mark Steyn was part of the deal when in fact he had stopped mentioning Mark Steyn soon after I signed up for a second year based in part on Levin's representations about Mark Steyn's participation in the show.

I have enjoyed Mark Steyn's presentations with the exception of his music and found his interviews to be valuable, fresh and relevant. I know of no apostasy that Mark Steyn has committed against conservatism either on CRTV or elsewhere. The manner of the firing smacks of the treatment of MacArthur and is beneath Mark Levin who owes people who are more than fans, who are paying consumers of his product, a complete explanation.

He owes consumers a refund if they choose to demand one.

Virtually on the same day that we learn that Steyn has been fired we are exposed to the first pathetic offering of the new Steve Deace show which was painfully amateurish. Mark Steyn's offerings were always first class. CRTV has been diminished by the exchange.

As to the replies on this thread and a companion thread by people who cannot stand Mark Levin because he has offered trenchant criticism of Trump when deserved and, to be fair, support when deserved, I note that the bulk of these critics boast that they have never seen the show. The show is excellent. Levin consistently defends conservatism and does so with impeccable logic and showmanship. Michelle Malkin has made contributions which have been absolutely first-class, of a quality to compete with 60 Minutes but from a conservative point of view. However, her offerings have been too few with the last important one having been about two weeks ago. "Louder with Crowder" is a young man who shows great promise, great presence and great wit but he appears as one who needs seasoning. I understand what Levin is trying to do with Crowder, to garner a younger demographic and I think Crowder can succeed, but he needs better production values and he needs better staffing.

Mark Levin is a national treasure and he should be applauded for all his contributions to the conservative cause as an author, as an active litigator, as a public servant in the Reagan Administration, as a crusader for the impeachment of Bill Clinton, as an early supporter of the Tea Party, as an innovator for conservatism, as a highly successful radio personality, and now, by all accounts, as a financial success in his television show. Above all, Levin is to be applauded for his clear eyed devotion to conservatism and courageous independent voice against the dangers of a cult of personality which threatens any movement if not opposed on behalf of eternal values.

I think Levin has committed a mistake concerning Mark Steyn, I think he is duplicating his obnoxious treatment of callers with whom he disagrees but I do not confuse hero worship of Donald Trump with conservatism, nor do I confuse conservatism with hero worship of Mark Levin.
