Hard to imagine, Savage not in SF. Weird. Perhaps he will eventually head to Florida.
And so it begins...Can’t wait to here Michael tonight.
An hour a day of Savage is more than enough for me.
Is this really a surprise?
Savage should join Foxnews alongside Bill OReilly, Don Imus, Glenn Beck, and others.
John and Ken are not much different philosophically than Savage.
Wow...just wow. Looks like my drive home at night just got a bit less interesting. Depending on when I leave work I’m jumping back and forth between Sussman/Levin on KSFO and Savage on KNEW. KNEW just lost me for good.
The gay Communists don’t want anyone threatening their Socialist fantasies.
I’m no Michael Savage fan but this is not a good sign. One wonders when the automakers will develop a really good Internet Radio system for their vehicles. Something easy to use and cell-phone or satellite based. I use a simple Internet Radio at home and can basically listen to any talk radio show I like 24/7. A system like this for automobiles, if widely adopted, would greatly reduce the impact of this sort of political censorship.
He’s also not to be found anywhere on any station in Los Angeles. But you can still pick him up from the L.A. area on KFMB-AM which is in San Diego. Or, listen to him online on streaming audio.
Mike couldn’t buy this publicity.
Replaced by?
I have mixed feelings about this. I richly doubt that John & Ken will fit the bill, but Savage did this to himself.
THE GOOD:
1. He’s original and funny
2. He can realllllly land a punch when he wants to (best example is probably against that fat slob lefty child molesting church hater who pee’d in Mikes fedora, from KGO)
3. He’s good at mixing politics with personal vignettes
4. He has a great eye for detail, image, and poetry
5. Extremely good knack for adopting leftist tactics, then USING it on them with relish (almost none of our guys do this...maybe Ann Coulter and a few others)
6. Integrates fun into political attack at every opportunity
7. Can quickly recognize and dispose of listener calls that are going nowhere
8. Effectively avoids some popular show killers (”HR 232.4 has moved from special cabinet session into BLAH BLAH BLAH —give some thought to putting a call to the WH switchboard at 1-800 BLAH BLAH BLAH.......”)
THE BAD:
1. He loves the idea that he’s being BETRAYED —undertakes actions that turn this into self-fulfilling prophecy
2. Admonishes competitors about taking his ideas, all while doing exactly that to others
3. Laments bad workplace treatment at the hands of others (antique store, UC Berkeley, Food & Beverage companies, NY social services), then turns around and VERY RICHLY hands this over to others, often without ANY reason at all.
4. Calls for unswerving loyalty from listeners, then short-changes them with clumsily pre-recorded interviews
5. Lifts up his fans to the heavens (I have the smartest audience in talk radio), then grinds them into the dirt (You probably didn’t know that...)
6. Boasts of robust scientific knowledge, only to later bungle much of the basics
7. Gives off occasional signs that selling something is undignified (a staple or leftists and academics in general)
8. Politically unreliable (often takes exactly the opposite political position on some topic the next day, or even the next hour)
9. Might not even really be a conservative
10. Shuns any critique however constructive as a personal slight by some NOTHING WORM IN HIS MOTHER’S BASEMENT BANGING AWAY ON A KEYBOARD
PS - SCREW YOU MIKE, YOU SCUMBAG, YOU’RE NOT HALF THE MAN RUSS IS AND YOU FRIGGING **KNOW** IT
Michael Savage is a nutjob. Stations that carry him are making a poor business decision. Understand?
I liked Michael Savage’s show at first, but after a while it became very wearing. A one-note samba. And I didn’t like his habit of savaging callers he disagreed with.
The man can be brilliant at times. But unfortunately, he is nothing but a con man, and a pr!ck as well. He plays the role of a disgruntled poor-me conservative on the radio that “everybody has it out for”, when who knows what he really is politically?
He may be a Lib — he donated serious money to Gov. Moonbeam (Jerry Brown) in his campaign for I think it was CA AG. Would a real conservative do that? Hell no.
Savage is a narcissistic self-promoter who stabs his conservative radio compatriots in the back because they’re on the front lines of the fight getting all the glory.
