Greg Kelly on WABC

Posted on 06/21/2021 12:03:20 PM PDT by sowellman

Can't believe that WABC talk show host Greg Kelly cut short a caller in a hostile, peremptory way because caller (correctly) called Carl Bernstein a "red diaper baby." Kelly assumed that the term was somehow vulgar and had zero knowledge of the term. Kelly then proceeded to ridicule next caller who gently educated him about the term -- Kelly embarrassed by his ignorance; was revealingly ungracious.

“AM talk radio is dead.”

AM 680 WCBM Baltimore has a great morning guy, Sean Casey.

Good mix of conservative ideas, news and a bit of silly

Kind of what Rush was many years ago until the GOPe got to him and told him to tone it down.

Red Diaper baby goes back to the fifties, I think.

Kelly has very little knowledge about most things. That is why he is a bright like on THE very little knowledge Newsmax.

Yup- I’ve heard him lean left on some issues- and he basically told a guest he doesn’t really hold to any party- I think he came from a liberal news network previously?

He’s spot on solid conservative sometimes, but other times he veers off the path

Heard about Rush in the late 80’s when I was listening to G. Gordon Liddy.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Rush the next day.

Major adrenalin imprint!

Greg Kelly is the son of Ray Kelly, the former NYC Police Commissioner. Greg Kelly was an AV-8B pilot in the USMC until transferring into the reserves. He was FNC’s WH correspondent before moving back to NY to work with FOX5 and is now with Newsmax.

Michael Savage uses it numerous times on each broadcast.

Kelly is a good guy but he said we should get over what Jeffrey Tubin did on Zoom since he was in his own house.

Greg defends President Trump and covered the stolen election, and has had on Ashli Babbitt’s widow. I haven’t heard him on the radio. Savage is the only radio host I’ve ever heard use that phrase.

Bob Grant was an institution. I always enjoyed listening to him.

Sometimes too silly.

I find all the double entendres off-putting.

But he puts out enough news content to keep me listening. Way better than Boring and Lame.

Greg Kelly was not of age during the cold war and may not have known what a red diaper baby is. Isn’t this a cold war term, or slightly post cold war term?

May have thought it vulgar?
