You shouldn't be surprised, it's the media, it's all about ratings...it's entertainment first, then news. This is 2003, it ain't gonna get better. More media content (tv, radio, video, internet, etc) = less verifiable truth.

I almost couldn't believe my ears. Tom Brokaw took a good shot at Katie as she was sitting next to him on national television. It was a truly rare moment to be relished.
On NBC Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric were side-by-each at the desk reporting on the freedom of Iraq this morning. Tom informed the viewers and Katie that he had to "go to a studio across the street".
Katie responded, "was it something I said?"
Tom replies, "where do I begin."
Katie: "ouch"

The thing that bugged me about the show was that Savage even cut off callers that were agreeing with him, and he kept showing silly video clips as 'background' for what he was saying. It's just his style I don't care for.

Perhaps the moron that wrote this article doesn't realize he and his ilk no longer, nor did they ever really, represent mainstream America and its' views.
This chump needs to get used to the fact that the days of liberal control of the American news media are coming to an end. Just ask CNN, the al-Jazeera of the West...

I'd love to see a video clip of that.

You are fricken wrong my friend. Savage tells it like it is. Here is an example of how this writer is a piece of human trash:
""Some words that would complete the description include: "misogynist," "homophobe" and "white supremacist." He hates women, homeless people, the Jews, East
Asians (or "little soy-eaters," as he calls them) and every other minority under the sun. ""
None of the above is true. In fact, this moron didn't even mention the fact that Savage is Jewish, and that his grand parents escaped Russia.
Savage believes that the threat of the radical left (in the US, UN, and in Europe) is a greater danger than Islamo-fascism. Both need to be fought. He is correct!

Savage might not be some of the things alleged in this article, but he IS an idiot and a self-promoting blowhard, IMO. A complete embarrassment.
BTW, Savage has a Jewish name but does anybody know if he is a practicing Jew? I know two people who are no longer practicing Jews and in fact are very anti-Jewish now.

Savage is IMHO a poor representative of the Conservative viewpoint.....you have a right to your opinion.
....but you are wrong!!!!!
....perhaps if he put on a suit and tie you would feel differently?

I understand that others disagree, and that he has many fans. My objections to Mr. Savage are not in his personal appearance but rather in his histrionic and bizarre presentations.
Frankly, I don't believe he is sincere. He is IMHO a smarmy opportunist whose over the top rhetoric is more befitting a Howard Stern type "shock jock" than any intelligent advocate for conservative ideas. Again, its just my opinion: I vastly prefer Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Medved, Mr. Hannity or even the Majah Rushdie.

Please see post #32. BTW I left Mr. Larry Elder off the list of hosts who are (just my opinion) much better.

<< .... idiots in the media declare Savage to be "unclean" because he's biased, and fail to see that Katie Couric is also biased. >>
The bigger difference between the Eva Braun of morning TV and Mr Savage is that Mr Savage is both highly intelligent and honest and makes sense and makes no bones about his politics and KKKouric is a liar, a cheat, a fraud, a phony, a slobbering lickspittle for the amoral left who, like all of naziism's noisome nitwits pretends "objectivity."
KKKatie makes a living lying to those too stupid to know they're being lied to and/or too bloody greedy and/or hate-filled to care.

but the more I see of our television coverage of the war, the less faith I have in commercial broadcasting. Da Komrade. Government broadcast fair, it never lie. It tells the proletariat all they need to know.
