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.

I listen to as much of WJ as I can now that I don’t have Don Imus.

The hosts are human and I’m sure they make snap judgements, but as far as bias, well, I don’t see it. I learn from the kooks just as I learn from those I agree with.

But Rush did in fact use that term to describe himself after the 2006 elections.

Where is that image of Rush in that spoof of "The Waterboy"?

Levin, Rush and Laura have ALL come out against the president on many occasions- they are conservatives FIRST, and are in no way GOP water carriers.

Rush after the 2006 elections: "Now I don't ahve to carry their water anymore."

Ditto JTBM. Howie is honest and humble, which is lacking and well-needed among a lot of these hosts.

O’Reilly? Huh? No- I didn’t hear O’ Reilly’s talking points.

I don’t CARE WHEN the photos were taken or where. Savage is not going to get anyone to hate the enemy more by putting those photos on his site.

He can put up photos of 9/11 as a permanent reminder if that is his honest intent.

There is NO DEFENSE for what he did- none.

There are so many opinions regarding Savage....

There are days I like him, hate him, respect him, loathe him, get disgusted with him, yet I find him interesting and at times on-the-mark.....

There was a time when Rush was viewed in a similar light.

He ain't milk toast....

Did you know that Savage recently had photos of the severed heads of AMERICAN SOLDIERS on the homepage of his website?

That's your objection... he has that picture? Did you spend more than two seconds thinking about it? Did you ponder HOW that photograph was taken and WHY it is that he posted it? You're one of these people who want to hide the nature of the enemy we are fighting. You want to white-wash what happened to those soldiers.. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS OFFENSIVE.. Those soldier's souls are crying out for justice and if it was up to you no one would know about it. Unbelievable.

"... his message is conservative. His message is on mark. His message is allot clearer than some so called conservatives."

True!

Although I think Savage and Beck are half lunatics, so am I! Liberals, MSM, Rhinos and 20% of FReepers made me this way. LOL Both those guys, plus Boortz, were far ahead of the Bush curve before Limbaugh and Hannity, whom I also like to listen to.

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.

Was there a guest in the studio when the Carter thing happened?

I’d cut off many more of the callers than the C-SPAN hosts do. Even those I agree with can be obnoxious.

Savage is a visionary, teaches the historic perspectives and certainly informative. Like Rush in his early days Savage throws in various entertainment...often very funny. (The 10 toes ‘ho rap was hysterical) He does often get moody, melancholic and caustic....either I am absolutely riveted by his shows or can’t hack his feverish rants. All depends on the topics, mood etc.... one thing for sure...he is unique and one of the best around.

Again, too many people have forgotten the nature of the enemy we are fighting. They need to be reminded. If more people would remind them, support for the war would go up. But people like O’Reilly and the rest of teh MSM are too busy analyzing Paris Hilton.
