I think this is a case of “don’t burn your bridges behind you,” which Savage has done with Rush, Sean and O’Reilly. I used to be a big fan, but his constant insults about his competition, and lying about his New York rating, turned me off to him. Nevertheless, I support him in this lawsuit and would love it if he puts this group out of business.
Just like many liberals hate Rush (and talk radio) because he speaks the truth, Rush, Sean, and O'Reilly hate Savage because he speaks the truth about them. I smile to myself when he criticizes his competition. He does it a little too much, but, like it or not, he provides a penetrating assessment. It is too bad that none of them can be like a true "Statesman" and support Mike Savage because the threat to all of them (and us) is real.
