"According to Nielsen Audio Metro data, Savage at least doubled Hannity’s average quarter-hour (AQH) rating in two major markets (New York and Dallas) and at least tripled his rating in Chicago and Savage’s hometown of San Francisco:"

I don’t recall you ever being mentioned by Andrew...do you even have his phone number
Most recently, because Levin believes that Savage was ridiculing his father’s book. He also believes Savage is a phony. Before that, I don’t know, it may actually be because Savage was so hard on Hannity.
Oddly, one could swear sometimes that Levin has copied Savages schtick.
I thought his brother died of natural causes after going to the institution.
Lanny Davis can also be heard often on Medved. They were college roommates.
I got permanently mad when he called Ted Cruz a snake.
I saw a Hannity TV show in 2009(don’t normally watch TV but was in a motel room). It was about the water crisis in the Central Valley. Dreadful. Terrible journalism, embarrassing hack work.
Yep.
Actually they do. Levin talks about Savage. But it’s true that the thing probably would have died a natural death a long time ago if Savage hadn’t kept it alive.
Recently Hannity has started mentioning him. I don’t believe that Rush ever has, and I’d be very surprised if he did.
Thanks. Half of this I did not know. The other half I agree with.
This isn’t the same Valentine that was on the air back in the 90s?
Yep, pill-popping hag. I remember.
Savage.
He treats callers rude.
He’s like a chain saw.
Hannity is too involved with establishment talking head types.
Yes, he conveniently ignored facts that didnt fit his narrative.
Also he says movie theaters should be gun-free zones with metal detectors. That will drive even more people to Netflix and redbox.
“...Says anything about Savage”, in the sense that He tears them up for no good reason, to make himself look better, and meaning that’s what he does with everyone, and it’s why he cant keep a show. He is mean spirited, and cannot take dealing with anyone different form himself, cant take being wrong, cant’ deal with differing opinions, and they don’t tear him up for any other reason than to fight back a little.
If that’s feuding, then that’s what’s wrong with our country. he is a bully and they are sticking up for themselves and each other. None of them say anything bad about their competition. THis is not their acting competitively, as he is doing and in a dirty manner. It’s about standing up to a bully. In that sense, no, they don’t say anything about him nor each other.
Savage took over Hannity’s time slot. They all take Sean’s seeming demotion in stride, but they can’t and don’t have to like it. No one of them is saying anything bad about fox, WABC, the competition, nor Savage. Savage, on the other hand is bragging about doing better than Hannity in Hannity’s time slot.
Levin and Hannity are friends and there’s a loyalty, has been there for ten years or more. Levin’s been listening to this for a few days, now. If his sticking up for Hannity by bashing Savage on the air a little, is a feud, we’re too wimpy.
WHo does Savage have as a friend for ten years, and have him on his show?
Savage has a PhD. He is very funny, astute and observant. His talk is very interesting. He bashes other radio talk show hosts, calling them names, pointing out their weaknesses. No one does that. People who we know in our lives who do that are despicable.
Imus does it. He gets away with it, He’s self deprecating, he’s ready to apologize, he reads hate letters on the air and agrees and apologizes and laughs. He has loyal friends. And it’s his bit. he doesn’t do serious news, and doesn’t pretend to. Someone comes on and talks intelligently about an issue, and he says, ‘how is your wife? whe sure is snappy item’ something like that, and the guy says,
you haven’t heard what I just said’, Imus says, ‘no, I’m not paying any attention to you, you’re just babbling’.
Savage tries to do insults along with serious news and tears everyone down, has no loyalty to people or views, changing his views constantly, tearing apart good candidates, and no one else is swiping like that.
Levin has a Law degree, and serious credentials in constitutional law. He writes scholarly books. He’s self deprecating, but rarely wrong, probably never wrong. He has righteous anger.
He doesn’t swipe at anyone but people who are against what he’s trying to do, not maliciously.
Agreed
That explains everything, you should have kept reading, you might have learned something......
Here, try reading this. Evidently the Savage has been fudging the facts a little (like that's a surprise) and he ain't doing as well as he thinks...............
From the American Spectator:
Hannity Radio Surges, Savage plummets
What got me is that he played the race card. He called Zimmerman supporters racists and that was just pathetic.
Funny, when writing my post I went back and forth between ‘popping’ and ‘addicted’, as my memory was a bit hazy. I should have figured that Mike would go with the alliterative version. Thanks for the correction.
Savage did his best (I thought) to suggest that Hannity was leaving radio because he couldn’t hack it. Some have disagreed with me, saying he wasn’t trying to imply that. But either way it was inaccurate. And I think it was a lowdown stunt.
Bump for later reading.
BTW like the station Hannity is on now, I get to listen to his third hour on the drive to work.
