Ted Kennedy = chapaquidic.
He will never get my vote. Never!

John McCain = Keating five.
He will never get my vote. Never!

It’s a shame, because I have always considered Medved the best and smartest guy on talk radio. I guess a stopped clock can be right twice a day and a really smart guy can let his bias think for him on occasion.

I strongly disagree with him on this one. And it actually goes far beyond the keating five. It is just that the keating five is all that is needed. It is the fatal wound.

>>Will conservatives begin to turn him off?<<

Not me. I will give him more than one strike. Although his belief that there may be sasquatches is another strike.

If the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated, will stations that carry Medved’s show be required to give equal time to a conservative?

I have stopped listening to Medved. I think he has become a RAT again.
He is trying to ram McCain down my throat.
He is doing exactly what he says other talk show hosts are doing.
What a hypocrite.

1. Hillary will bring back the “Fairness Doctrine” and destroy the conservative voice on radio. ABC NBC CBS and sometimes FOX are in the tank with Hillary.

So would McCain. Even if the only way he could get the new improved Fairness Doctrine passed would be to let Hillary et al. sell this country down the river, he'd do it. When have you ever seen McCain offer any opposition to liberals beyond a "yes" or "no" vote?

McCain is not going to bite the hand of his masters at CNN...

What a hypocrite.

An understatement. Meved started out by lamenting negative campaigning, and ended by sneering at Romney's profligate spending & rationalizing McCain's dishonest smear tactics.

But what really drives me nuts is how he prefaces an attack on anyone (but McCain) by declaring what a nice guy he is. As if that sets him above those other nasty talk show hosts involved in negative attacks.

Because of a change in programming I've listening to him for several weeks, but he's really pulled my chain lately. Can't do it anymore.

We carried the Medved show when we first went News/Talk...it was the only we option we had since ABC was asking big dollars for Hannity.(Rush is expensive enough!) After a couple of years, and quite a few nasty emails and phone calls, our listeners seemed to accept him and settled down...until the immigration (amnesty) bill. It was amazing how many of our listeners turned on him; it got ugly ALL over again. Then...divine providence arrived.

Last August, ABC came to their senses and offered us Hannity with no cash outlay...it was the perfect opportunity to rid ourselves of such an unpopular host. I did so. I took 5 negative calls about dumping his show. I took them gladly, made sympathetic sounds, and sped them on their way. Granted, Hannity’s no prize, but he’s better than Medved.
