Don’t be so cryptic. Tell us how you really feel! LOL. You hit Savage right on the nail. Savage is all about Savage, and he’s not above helping liberals win election as evidenced by his supporting Jerry Brown for AG, and probably for Gov too. He has intentionally ranted on his show in a purposeful intent to paint conservatives as mentally unbalanced, knowing full well that conservatives would be tied to his on-air behavior. Savage is a schmuck.
If you listen to Savage for any period of time you will see the monumental phony that he really is. On personal level he is incredibly toxic. His MO is to pick a fight with someone above his status and goad them into responding. He then leverages this into a fabricated acknowledgment of a peer status.
I've seen him do this with Jim Eason, his predecessor at KSFO in the Bay Area and other stepping stones along the way. Now he sets his sights on Rush Limbaugh (Hush Bimbo), the Leprechaun (O'Reilly) and a few others who continue to ignore him.
The Savage personna is a character he plays on the radio which he morphs as he thinks necessary to gain market share. Behind it is a shameless egotist.
I don’t take Savage too seriously on all matters he speaks of.... but I do enjoy his program. He is entertaining which I think to a great extent is the purpose of his program... He can be very funny with his rants and he is not so far off the mark as some can get. Additionally he does offer some good points now and then well worth consideration.
Of course it’s programming with the idea of gaining his share of the listening audiance. As with all programs and anymore news sitcoms....one needs to discern the truth from what is intended as entertainment. When these are mixed it is wise to consider that what they say is an opinion...right or left of our own opinions.
IMO He is worth enjoying and I do...love it when he gets on the “vermin” role!
