I used to listen to Michael on KSFO, and just got worn out. I've lost count of the times that he nuked a called that I wanted to hear - whether to complete a point or even make an @$$ out of himself - or took credit for something written by a Freeper, or touched on one or two-day old news that have reached 200 messages on FR and pronounces that we "probably don't know about this, so I'll be the first to tell you." Puh.
Yes, his Borders, Language, Culture message is very valuable, but I don't find it to be listenable radio. And I don't believe that, overall, he is advancing the conservative cause. Sorry, Savage followers, but I truly believe that.
I have my radio tuned to Larry Elder at 4, and hope that KSFO can move him over from KNEW. Larry had a funny and informative call on yesterday. A guy called up and said that while he agreed with him, he didn't think that Larry truly understood that "racism still existed in the country." Larry: "Are you aware that I am a black man?" Caller: (pause) "Uh. No. ... Sorry." And then they continued the conversation. :-)
I heard the caller on Elder's show that you are referencing. Pretty good stuff. I switched over to Elder several weeks ago, having gotten weary of Savage's ego. "You don't know this but...". Actually, Mike, I DID know that. I'm not as stupid as you seem to think most of your listeners are. I got tired of him cutting off callers who were trying to present actual FACTS (not contradictory opinions, but FACTS) that Savage had wrong, even though the callers weren't ranting or being disrespectful. He calls them idiots and cuts them off. Not good radio. I don't miss him. If I wanted to listen to him, I could listen to 650, it comes in fairly well during daylight hours where I live. But he's worn out his welcome on my radio dial.
