Say, is Giles Threadgold still alive and mentally competent?
I'd like to hear him defend this move. One segment only, please, then one segment of him going up against callers.
And can someone explain why Dan Kennedy, and others, say Finneran's conviction was a "travesty"?
Dan Kennedy et al are mentally ill, afterall, liberalism is a mental disorder. Poor poor tommy, got rooked and convicted, he did NOTHIING to deserve this "travesty". I think we all know better.
Giles should still be alive; indeed, when I visited my Dad on Cape Cod, I noticed a “Giles E. Threadgold” listed in Falmouth. I think his wife convinced him not to be on the show anymore, from what I heard.
Briefly he had been heard on Howie’s Cape affiliate,
WXTK. If Giles had passed on Howie would have mentioned it.
Dan Kennedy from last August; note his description of
WXTK—this was about Howie’s agent, during his
contract dispute:
“One of Saga’s Maine stations, WGAN (AM 560), carries Carr’s show from 3 to 5 p.m. every weekday. And in the late 1990s, when Pahigian was running a hate radio station on Cape Cod owned by the late auto magnate Ernie Boch, he carried Carr’s show and provided airtime to Carr’s then-sidekick Giles Threadgold.”
My response to the former Phoenix columnist:
“A hate radio station? I didn’t know he worked for Air America :) I looked
at WXTK’s lineup and couldn’t find
Mike Malloy, Ward Churchill, or
Rosie O’Donnell anywhere :) All a
matter of one’s opinion, I guess.”
