a co-worker told me he seen Beck interview Sutton on cnn....he said Beck really skewered him. I wonder if there is a youtube vid of it. oh speaking of youtube, what became of the bomb threat today....I know faux news broke from their youtube coverage of teen girls fighting.....faux news is beginning to pizzzzzzzzzz me off.
Another reason to cancel cable TV LOL!
Headline replayed that interview yesterday, or the day before, and Beck DID NOT “skewer” him.
Beck tried but Sutton had all the answers.
Looks like Rock disappeared. I guess the whale talk put him to sleep.
well, the guy likes dobbs, I guess he figure Beck skewered sutton, I’d love to see a Savage/sutton interview I bet there’d be skewering lol
I don’t know where Beck gets the idea that he is the # 3 most listened to talk show in the Nation. That’s a direct challenge to Savage who has yet to acknowledge anyone named ‘Beck’.
I have a longstanding policy to either not accept awards or recognitions, or just throw them away. Unless it’s money - then I cash the check and never think about it again.
I gave my mom all my academic related awards, diplomas, etc, and it suits me fine. :-)

Michael Savage, Freedom Of Speech Award
NO SHOW
Savage Skips Own Award Ceremony
by Brian Maloney
What would it take to get Michael Savage to come out of his shell?
Again underscoring his ultra- reclusive nature, the “Savage Nation” host unexpectedly failed to appear at a ceremony where he was to pick up an industry honor.
Selected to receive this year’s Freedom Of Speech Award at the New Media Seminar held over the weekend in New York City, Savage instead substituted a hastily- made YouTube- style home video.
Overseen by Talkers Magazine, the event provides an annual gathering place for talk show hosts, programmers and syndicators. While Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Lars Larson, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, Rusty Humphries, Michael Medved, G Gordon Liddy, Jerry Doyle and many others made the trip, Savage’s failure to appear was not announced ahead of the ceremony.
His non- appearance must have been a disappointment for Talkers publisher Michael Harrison, who generally uses the award presentation to generate publicity for his magazine and seminar.
As for the video (which your Radio Equalizer is praying will soon reach YouTube), it was so bad that it was actually good. While a few obvious non- fans in the audience snickered, Savage actually came across in a friendly, conversational style rarely heard on his radio show these days.
Filmed from his boat Patriot in an undisclosed Marin County location, Savage rattled off a number of points in rapid- fire style. Occasionally during the crudely- edited production, he appeared in front of his own “Mike’s Bar”, which appeared to be elsewhere on his property.
The syndicated radio host railed against Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, calling them “failed radio hosts” and “frauds”, while asserting that liberals have almost- universal control over the world’s ideas and images, with talk radio as one of the rare exceptions.
Also warning against a possible reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine, which would regulate the content of talk radio, Savage said that it merely represents “censorship with a fancy name and has no place in America.”
Comparing Fairness Doctrine proposals by Democrats to Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez’s recent shutdown of an opposition television network, Savage said he considers radio broadcasting here to exist in a “perilous state” that may not be that much more free than in the South American state.
While it’s not clear what kept Savage away from the event, his video presentation certainly kept the audience entertained, whether they were fans or not.

Lat anyone heard from Rock in post # 52 he appeared to be banging his head on his computer and then ran off screaming into the Massachusetts night like a wild banshee, that’s usually his sign that he is less than ‘thrilled’ with the Savage choice of subject at hand.
Actually, I find that Savage is usually friendly and with a conversational style.
In any event, snubbing these folks is bad form. Savage should have just said 'thanks, but no thanks, with all due respect' behind the scenes. No-showing isn't good.
Great show Savage!

Translation, Levin, O'Reilly, Hannity.
Between that and all the whale talk today, I wasn't too impressed today. If I want animal rights stuff, I'll listen to PETA on Air America (if they have such a program).
when Savage does acknowledge Beck what do you think his nickname for him will be...
Cadillac Man
vs...
We're dying out here! Where are you?!
hmmm...I think it fits.
From a couple in the radio industry who were there (I was not, though)—via radio-info.com news/talk board:
“I was actually looking forward to his appearance...who knows what he might have said had he appeared in person! I did find the video mostly entertaining but very odd at times. I think he is very insecure and was scared to actually face his fellow broadcaters face to face.”—Signal_Faded
“I’m not sure which would have been worse, actually having him there in person or watching his ugly mug blown up to 20 feet tall on the movie screen like we did.”—FTL_Ian
(Free Talk Live)
opinions are those of the people on that board
I USED to be a member of PETA and they never impacted me like that. Sometimes infidels think a show was great and I don't and vice-versa, for me it hit home so when Savage does that it's a home-run as far as I'm concerned.
I really know next to nothing about Beck save that he’s Mormon so I couldn’t even fathom a guess.
