Why Did C-SPAN Blacklist Savage?
TBP | Now | Moi

Posted on 06/12/2007 12:42:17 PM PDT by TBP

Michael Savage, the #3 most listened to talk-show host in America, was honored by Talkers Magazine, the "Bible" of talk radio, with this year's Freedom of peech Award.

Recently, Talkers held a bash at which they presented the award. C-SPAN, which claims to be nonpartisan and nonideological, was there and carried most of the speeches. But for some reason, it blacklisted Savage's speech accepting the award.

Why would a nonideological network do this? More liberal media bias, obviously. C-SPAN has now willingly made itself part of the liberal effort to suppress freedom of speech in this country.

“If the Fairness Doctrine REALLY favored fairness, they’d insist on employing MORE conservative talk show hosts to offset the heavy far left of the rest of the MSM”

About as fair as the “Grand Bargain” : )

Don’t forget...It was Brian Lamb that instituted the “caller” policy to Washington Journal during the Clinton campaign that stated no mater how many calls come in to the show, they would take one Dim, to one Republican. Before the policy change the Repubs were calling at a rate of 10-to-1 to Dims. He further stated the policy would be halted after the campaign...It is still in place. So the calls you hear are highly filtered for content. Brian Lamb is a dog of the worse kind.

Taht is why on teh rare occasions that I watch C-SPAN, I call in on the Democrat line. :)

I think you are close to the truth. I’ve seen that happen on CSPAN and that’s exactly what I thought when he was talking about it yesterday.

Except that Savage is not conservative (just a liberal in sheep’s clothing).

Since you clearly had your head in your behind, and must still be overcome by fumes, let me ask you: what kind of "liberal" supported the SwiftVets against Kerry (before anyone else no less), called for STRONGER action against Iraq, wants the ACLU bankrupted on RICO statutes, and calls the homosexual mafia the greatest threat to our children in schools? Find me a "liberal" who held similar positions, please. Otherwise, kindly STFU.

Agreed. Savage is popular because people are stupid.

Does that include yourself?

Yea, it’s not uncommon for CSPAN to run 2 or 3 speeches for an event like this. In fact, it’s not uncommon for them to skip an event like this entirely. If they aired 2 speeches from the Talkers convention, Talkers was lucky.

Savage wasn’t snubbed, most likely. I am a Savageaholic, but I call ‘em like I see ‘em.

Savage has been warning his listeners about the dangers of illegal immigration, the homosexual agenda and its ties to international socialism, the AIDS racket, and the creeping leftward march of all things political years before any of us were even Freepers.

Now if you could prove that it would be great...I certainly am leery of trusting anyone in the media including talk show hosts..

But if you cannot you should retract it..

I think it really ticks Dr. Savage off that more Americans are not vociferously outraged over the events he, and we, deems vitally important. He hopes to shock them out of their TV induced stupor. I doubt that it will work.

The problem is that they left out the main one. You don't cover two or three speeches and leave out the main speech unless you're trying to do it that way.

It's kind of like covering the music from a Broadway show -- all except the well-known songs.

I used to listen to Savage. Regularly.

What happened? I started hearing him.

You are correctamundo my FRiend! I'm glad MrCFdovnh suggested the TSN list be pinged! Maybe some people will get their heads out of the sand and join reality, it would be most beneficial for them!
