FOLLOWING reports of tension between popular WABC talk-show hosts Batchelor & Alexander, Batchelor was expected to announce last night that his three-year radio partnership with Paul Alexander is history. "John Batchelor will tell listeners . . . that he is going to host the show by himself," said John McConnell of ABC Radio, which syndicated the WABC-based team.

I don't think I've ever listened to more than 30 seconds of their show since they've been on the air -- I could never shake the impression that I was listening to two flaming queers doing a radio show in black leather thongs.

that is quite an incorrect perception. they are writers, from the NY literary community. they are supposed to sound like that.

Looks like Freud was right with that "projection" theory

Recently Monica Crowley was on and swept under by the so-called "moderate" agenda of both B&A and their guests.

Monica got very quiet and was quite annoyed.

Both B&A are big fans of of the "Sore/Loserman 2000" victory; recent show was big on complimenting algore; if you heard Mark Levin bring on "Chrissi" LeHane as a guest you would know what scumbags the algore team was.

Batchelor is no conservative either and with Loftus and Crawford they often are radical leftie in their slant.

Batchelor worships that "The Nation" neighbor of his who is married to Ruskkie leaning Prof. Cohen.

Katrina vanden Heuvel

She is a trust fund spoiled limo-lib-rad Commie granddaughter of Jules Stein who who helpful in getting Ronald Reagan his California ranch.

I have some insider background about Stein/Katrina but that is as much as I should say here.

She is about as anti-American a piece of filthy garbage as anyone could be.

B&A have her on often as a "guest" and you can hear her pause, breath, hum, etc. as she makes up and spews out her garbage.

B&A never interrupt, correct, or dispute her radical ravings.

Don*t bank on Batchelor lasting long on WABC now; they never took callers on "B&A" and have an obvious cowardly lib slant.

"Fair & Balanced" was/is hardly their aim as they allowed no calls, no questions, no embarrassing debate.

I believe Steve Malzberg first brought on Batchelor to WABC on overnights long back.

B&A is never mentioned as a big ratings grabber for WABC 770am NYC; I often would call in back a bit to correct or debate other hosts but I would have loved to be able to skewer B&A and their leftie agenda guests if they had had the guts to take callers.

I*ve nailed Dick Morris, Chuckie Schumer, ".....may I call you Carolyn" McCarthy, and Mario Cuomo on WABC so I have no doubt I would roasted them in their own juices.
Bye Bye Alexander.

Off to write another obscure off-Broadway play?

Next book about Dean or Clark?

Sorry about John FKerry!

(there voices are kinda........)

"Wasn't Loftus the once who kept claiming that he had great intelligence telling him that Hussein was dead?"

Shoot, half the posters on Free Republic were stating that Saddam was dead!

I could never figure out why post after post would say "Saddam's dead! He got killed in the first salvo!" when no one knew anything about it.

Wasn't there a post pulled from someone claiming to be one of those two about this subject from about 45 minutes ago?

Yes, but no way was it the real John Batchelor.

I'll try to reconstruct his post from memory:

HI i'm John Batchelor, and I just want to say that you won't se my show or hear Paul Alexander anymore.

That was pretty much it. I guess we were supposed to believe that post came from a gossipy writer...

The show gets one hour here in Dallas, from 11pm to midnight... I can never tell whether they want to be liberal or conservative on any given day

It was someone else. I'm sure that if John Batchelor ever decided to post here, he'd at least catch his typos.

I mean, the man is a writer.

Well, the poser also said we "wouldn't be seeing his show anymore", but the show is in fact staying on the air. For now.

So it was somebody who had heard something, got half of it right, and came running over to troll. Probably thought we'd be all upset. When I think of all the "Who the hell are you?" comments on that thread, it makes me giggle.
