The mud wrestlers came in and weren’t shown the door. At the time I even suggested we consider going to a pay site. Those of us that tried to self police (remember Eagles Up! which led me to change my name) eventually got enforced instead. Quantity over quality, was apparently the decision.
Not sure what raised the question on this particular thread. I have been a huge fan of Savage in the past, but have turned his show off the last few weeks. With his educational background, he should be soaring In listeners right now, and I actually sought his show out when this whole crisis was breaking.
But his long term dislike, or what now appears to be envy, of Hannity and Limbaugh seems to have consumed him at this point. He’s grown arrogant and doesn’t like the way Trump sparks to the little man, often in little man language. He still hates modern liberals, but has developed a new found hate for what he considers simple minded conservatives, who are demonstrating sheep like behavior for the new cult of personality. There may be some truth in what he sees, but these people are not the enemy, not now. They are our grunt forces in the current war.
Savage has a tremendous huge ego. He reminds the listener
daily about his higher education credentials etc. When I listen to talk radio, I pay little attention to a person who brags about their background. My motivation is to learn something different; get a different take on an issue. I can remember Professors similar to Savage years ago in college.
They always had lots of information, but seemed to talk down to us. Students would resent those Professors. My approach was always to try and learn something, ignoring the ego part. I have learned from Savage lots just as a teacher. Personally, I dislike the parts when he is full of himself.
